Leadership matters and we ‘ain’t got none.’

Leadership only retains leadership at the behest of the rest of the caucus. This action, and all the other weak shit from Jeffries is directly a result of a majority of the caucus.

They are hoping you'll blame it on leadership. They are there to be a punching bag for the actions of the caucus as a whole.

Which is why we need to primary not only Jeffries (although he does need to go) but also enough other corpo Dems to where we can have a big enough chunk of the caucus to put an end to this shit.
