I, a New York Democrat, assert – with little fear of contradiction – that two New York City Democrats – Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader and Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader – are the most soporific (sleep-inducing, boring) politicians in the entire country. In addition, one would be hard-pressed to identify what these two high-ranking Democrats actually stand for. Well, maybe, “we don’t like Donald Trump” and “we’re not Republicans.” Not exactly a winning platform.
In contrast to these so-called “moderate” Democrats, we have the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) crew of “progressive” or “far-left” Democrats. Not only are they not boring speakers, but they surely DO know what they stand for. And therein lies a huge problem for Democrats in the near and far future. Who is entitled to call themselves Democrats? The faceless moderates or the fire-breathing DSA crew?
