"This is why people don't like Democrats. The Democrats are constantly going, 'How can we talk to Republicans?'... Your attitude needs to be 'How do we beat Republicans?'" The one and only Jennifer Welch on the 'We're Not Kidding' podcast with me today.

Jennifer Welch should run for office. We need people like her that haven't been captured by partisan corruption.

My question is, how can we imprison Republicans when they commit heinous felonies even when they're rich and powerful? As a country, we need to stop allowing the Epstein class to do whatever they want with zero consequences.

Bernie already showed how to not only beat them with swing voters, but to even win over some Republican voters: have a track record of fighting for policies that will help working Americans.

But isn’t some element of “how do we talk to republicans” necessary? We needed a lot of republican voters to join the coalition to beat trump in 2020. And even then, it was close. 40k+ votes across 5 swing states, or something like that

how about 'how can we do the right thing w/o compromising our soul'? this party loyalty thinking is boring and disgusting

Mamdani is proving democrats don't care about Americans either by actually doing things for his constituents instead of giving out excuses why things can't change

@nicholeaileen I'm convinced many white Democratic leaders see the inclusion of too many minorities in leadership as a threat to their own meal ticket and mean "talk to white people" when they say "talk to Republicans." They are secretly happy when minorities lose races so they can carpetbag.

I completely agree and we need to do all weekend to get rid of Hakeem and Schumer.

Great to know! I didn't know exactly when the Ghislaine Maxwell trial ended

i think the biggest issue is “why dont we help americans and address voters needs” instead of blowing the deficit out with foreign aid the same way republicans do.

The time for “working with republicans” is LONG past…if trump showed us anything it’s that you can just ram shit through and there are no consequences…

She’s right. We can open arms to Republicans who see the light about Trump, sure. But we absolutely have to be laser focused on beating them.

The Queen of DARK WOKE ❤️

Amazing Merrick Garland sat on this to advance his business interests..

a lot of democrats have stopped talking to all Republicans

Welch is a JOKE. Wanna beat Republicans? Then pull your head out of your asses and defend women's rights, boundaries and consent. Welch is an anti-women misogynist and hypocrite and can fuck all the way off. I was a lifelong Dem and left in '23 because of their hypocrisy.

The corporate Dems care about their donors, not their voters. Duh. Winning at the cost of alienating donors is not something most Dems are prepared to contemplate because if might hurt them, ultimately, in the personal pocketbook.

She’s absolutely fucking right

No one says that! BTW, this constant hating on Democrats and letting Republicans off the hook is getting old... stop being grifters and be actual ppl if you can

Dems should have released the Epstein files when they were in power

I'd watch this podcast team, or @AnaKasparian

Exactly, if you believe based on the GOP record that they are corrupt, why would you do anything other than make it a course of political action to get them voted out of office?

The dem leadership, Schumer and Jeffries are nazi collaborators.... Hiding behind words like weak and ineffective is not the correct messaging. They are actively HELPING this admin get away with sweeping fascism. They are traitors to this country and should be treated as such.

Your attitude should be fuck Republicans

Absolutely

No they don't like y'all cause your lying sacks of shit

YOU CANT OUT SNAKE A SNAKE !!! Unity will never appease people with hate in their hearts.

Spot on Mehdi..,my all time favorite journalist!
