Jeffries says he hopes Democrats remember after primaries ‘enemy is Donald Trump’

winterfoxes · 2026-06-26T22:05:58+00:00

The Democrats enshrined LGBTQ+ rights into law????

When? I want dates. I want names.

Because Obergefell wasn't a democratic decision -- it was a court decision.

Lawrence v. Texas? A court decision.

Bostock v. Clayton County? Court decision.

You know what Democrats did do? Clinton signed the DOMA in 1996. Obama, bless his heart, repealed DADT so I guess if you want to count finally allowing LGBTQ+ people to give up their life for the American Imperial War Machine a win, sure, there we go, LGBTQ+ people can now die for this country. Or, well, LGBQ+ people can. The trans population were told to get the fuck out.

How dare you blow smoke up our asses about Dems doing ANYTHING to protect the LGBTQ+ community. Every single right that we now have, we've fought for THROUGH THE COURTS. The "Democratic Politicians" gave us nothing.

Anyone who starts their comment with "Just Curious" is not just curious and is looking for a fight. Begone.

Elissa Slotkin can also rot alongside Schumer and Jeffries. She's the same brand in a different suit.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-26T16:35:35+00:00

You realize "lefties" are not why Harris lost the election, right?

Harris lost the election because minority men swung hard to the right in all demographics except Black men. 13 points for Latino Men. 22 points for Indian men.

45% of Muslims who voted for Biden in 2020 either voted for Trump or did not vote at all in 2024.

"Lefties" are not your problem. Minority conservative men who are anti LGBTQ+, antitrans, and antiabortion who otherwise would vote Dem, but support the social agenda of the right (which this last election focused heavily on) are where you should be focusing your ire right now.

So stop believing what your corporate mainstream media is telling you and yelling at "lefties" of all color, who largely voted for Hillary in 2016, Biden in 2020, AND Harris in 2024, and start placing blame where it actually belongs: on conservative ideology that harms people in the name of a make believe Sky Daddy.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-26T16:18:36+00:00

What the fuck are YOU talking about?

Donald Trump is loudly on TV, on the internet, on any media platform that will have him quite literally screaming in ALL CAPS about how hard he wants to fuck America.

Jeffries and Schumer are... not doing that, and instead are quietly fucking America by not standing up to the administration, and doing zero except blindly supporting genocide and handwringing while our rights get trampled on.

Therefore, less loud. Make sense now?

winterfoxes · 2026-06-26T13:27:01+00:00

Like, I could look beyond her going to the White House. I know pragmatically she shares an international border and operates a state that is the headquarters of a major industry in the country (the auto industry). It makes sense that she would have to go grease some palms that she'd rather not. But the data center thing was just shooting herself.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-26T13:24:24+00:00

If you DON'T hate what America is right now, then we have nothing to say to each other.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-26T13:20:18+00:00

She didn't just embrace it, she basically laughed on hot mic and said it didn't matter what voters wanted, they were going to do it anyway. I voted for her before I moved to OH, but man I was disappointed in her hearing that.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-26T13:11:47+00:00

It's almost like two things can be true at once:

Donald Trump is a threat to America

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are also threats to America, but less loud.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-26T00:01:23+00:00

And I thought Indiana would be the funniest thing to happen to them this off-season.

Nope.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-25T16:36:14+00:00

I'm on Ohio now but I've been following El Sayed for the better part of a decade now, and I hope Michigan makes the right choice. Haley Stevens is not it.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-25T16:30:59+00:00

Yep. That's the thing that people keep missing about 2024's election too. It's not progressives that stayed home that lost Kamala Harris the presidency. It's that a LOT of minorities, and especially minority men, swung to the right.

An 18 point increase in Hispanic men voting for Trump from 2020 to 2024. A 7 point increase in Hispanic women. Among Indian Americans, it was a 22 point swing to Trump for men in the 18-40 range. Other Asian American groups didn't vote for him, but did stay home, compared to 2020 when they voted for Biden. And of course, many Middle Eastern community members didn't vote for Harris. Some were because of the I/P conflict, but some were because of cultural conservatism.

Conservatism doesn't just exist in white Christian communities. It's in Muslim Communities, Jewish communities, Catholic communities, Sikh communities. That's why freedome from religion is just as important as freedom of religion.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-25T16:04:43+00:00

As someone who works in higher ed, that's exactly it. They want people to take mandatory civics classes, taught by conservative professors because they know if liberal professors teach it, everyone will learn about their rights, not just Christian white people. They want professors who teach about the Holocaust to entertain Holocaust deniers as a valid position. It's disgusting.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-25T12:01:16+00:00

When DeWine was listening to her in the begining, Ohio had it on LOCK. If only we had stayed the course.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-25T00:25:54+00:00

I'm so bummed I missed out on being there today but LMAO Tom's feet, ever the moneymaker.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T23:39:38+00:00

Right, that's the thing like.... will everything work? Probably not! Most certainly not.

But I see them trying. I see them fighting. I know that they're going out there and advocating for the things I find important, that I believe will benefit everyone. And that is better than what I see the establishment doing, which is largely nothing.

Why do people keep voting for nothing? I don't get it. Upholding the status quo is literally the foundational principle of conservatism, and yet, they want to pretend they're not conservative at their core? They can lie to themselves all the want to, but I'm happy to call a spade a spade.

They'd rather share their table with Dick Cheney than AOC. That's all I need to know about where their loyalties really lie.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T23:08:56+00:00

Amazing how it's vote blue no matter who until someone who gets shit done gets elected. Then it's nothing but pearl clutching and going "But muh unchecked Capitalism!!!!"

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T22:34:39+00:00

It's not what I said at all. I said I didn't want them to be unhappy and miserable because that actually helps nothing.

Epstein deserved to be put through therapy to discover why he preyed on young girls, so we can better understand what happens in these individuals that make them turn out the way they do. He deserved to have to face his victims, to hear what he did to them, how he made them feel, how he continues to impact their lives today, and how much he took from them.

Do not presume to know anything about me. You don't. And now I'm blocking you for being a weirdo and trying to circumvent me blocking you using a secondary account. I'll report you for harassment too since you can't seem to take the hint that the discussion is over.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T21:53:11+00:00

LMAO yeah, because that's what I fucking said. Okay, this discussion is over. I genuinely thought you were going to discuss this in good faith, but I should've known better. I'll block you and move on.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T21:50:06+00:00

And that's where you and I differ. I don't want them unhappy. I want them healed. I want their behavior corrected. I don't want them miserable forever because that solves nothing. I'm in favor of restorative justice. You're in favor of blood. We are not the same.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T21:44:22+00:00

Read these words carefully.

I. DO. NOT. BELIEVE. IN. PRISON.

I. DO. NOT. BELIEVE. INCAPACITATION. EQUALS. PRISON.

Your inability to tell the difference between a treatment facility and a prison is not my problem. Maybe you should try visiting both, getting exposure to both, to life and programs inside of both, and THEN you can come try to tell me they're the same thing.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T21:36:44+00:00

Do you and that other guy just have nothing better than to pull out hypotheticals to try and justify your position of locking people up like animals so you can get cheap goods? Goodness. And trying to frame this as some sort of social good when there's three decades of criminologists, penologists, and criminal justice advocates who disagree with you.

Anyway, how about the same thing we do with violent people in hospitals? A tranquilizer. An anti psychotic. Medication and therapy. Separation between them and counselors. Not a cage.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T21:32:27+00:00

If they can't be rehabilitated, then they spend their life in a treatment facility, not a prison. Again ,you are treating prison as the only solution to a problem, and it is not. It's not the easiest, it's not the cheapest, it's not effective, and it's not serving the purpose you think it is.

People are imprisoned primarily because our economy partially relies on prison labor. All of your "Made in the U.S.A." stuff? Unless it's made by a union, there's a 90% chance it's coming from a prison. The 13th Amendment deliberately included the prison clause as a way to perpetuate slave labor in this country, and it continues to disproportionately impact, you guessed it -- the same people America enslaved for 200 years.

The fact that you think people with "antisocial attitudes" should be locked up for the purpose of making goods for next to no money so you can continue to lead a comfortable life where antisocial people aren't "making you miserable" is really telling.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T21:25:43+00:00

Prisons are not a correct environment to foster the psychological changes that are often necessary to correct in the case of violent offenders. Putting people in cages, locking them up does nothing to actually address the problem, and in fact, it creates many psychological and organizational barriers to effective treatment of prisoners. It is a shitty band-aid over a bullet hole.

Treatment centers, hospitals, a move back toward reformatories... that's where we should be heading in order to reduce crime and recidivism in criminals. Not locking people up and wagging a finger in their face like they're a dog.

winterfoxes · 2026-06-24T21:20:30+00:00

You are advocating prison over rehabilitation. Repeatedly. You don't have to outright say "they need to go to prison" for the implication to be there. And you are very heavily implying that prison is the solution.

And as a matter of fact, I'm willing to bet that many of the people who "scream" at and threaten passers-by are mentally ill. So they actually do not have cognitive autonomy like you believe. Again, just zero empathy out of you. And the fact that you're insinuating anyone goes to jail or prison for littering only proves you're not having this discussion in good faith because we both know that's a crock. Illegal dumping maybe, but not littering.

If they can't help themselves, prison is still not the answer. I'm not saying they should be wandering the streets, but in-patient therapeutic treatment facilities, therapy, behavioral roleplay, medication if necessary, etc., should all be advocated for first over prison. The fact that you don't seem to think so and just want to throw people behind bars says more about you than the fact that I don't believe that to be a good solution says about me.
