Jeffries is a model of uselessness and capitulation who should speak a lot less. Anything he says dems "should do" needs to be taken with a massive grain of salt.

If a Democrat doesn't pull an 'Al Green' then they have no business being there.

He's really just hurting the party every time he gets in front of a microphone. In his metaphor, he's not being run off his own block, he's sitting there in quiet defiance while a klansman pisses in his face. He's framing this as being tough and it's just embarrassing.

He really highlights that leadership is chosen by donor rapport rather than political talent or broad party appeal.

If somebody's going to pull a somebody else, I hope it's Trump doing a Dwyer. The ratings would be through the roof!

“I'm not attending his State of the Union to listen to him ramble and lie,” Murray wrote. “Instead, I'll be sharing the ways he's hurting hardworking Americans.”

Or, you know, articulate a plan to counter him. Maybe even take the lead yourself.

Informing people of his lies is a plan to counter him.

Could someone explain to this european how this is news worthy? is there some larger implications of this I'm missing? I mean who cares if they listen to his speech?

Why? He might talk about funding ICE, the war in Venezuela, overthrow of Meduro, the war in Iran, and raising money for Israel. Are geriatric Democrats afraid their knees will give in from all the standing up, or that their knuckles will fall off from all the clapping?

American here, there are no implications other than the orange rapist pedo may get his feelings hurt. That happens so frequently that it is not news.
