I thought this was enlightening after reading @Cje95 's post yesterday.
refusing to support Jeffries would mean "both making my life a living hell for the next two years here in Washington as well as being sure to lose my election in two years."

I bet he could make a name for himself by publicizing all this insider shit. The public hates how the parties operate.
I agree. For some reason the two party system always survives. The 1994 Tea Party looked revolutionary for a while, but the uneven nails eventually got hammered down or discarded.
It was almost impossible to get an independent message out there before.
Nowadays, I think you could gather a huge following by just putting the swamp monsters on blast after every shady dealing.
My big thing that blows my mind is that this guy has led the Democratic Party to this monumental win and in return they are looking to replace him? Not to mention, with Leonard in particular, while he did not accept PAC money, $4 million was spent on his behalf attacking the Republican candidate Carey.
No matter how you cut it Leonard got a huge boost from PACs and that includes Jeffries.
Not to mention that part of the reason Leonard has said he is against Jeffries boils down to
It is noble to want to pass an Amendment like this, but during a time when you have 2 years, there are huge pressure issues facing Americans daily, and getting a constitutional amendment done would require supermajorities in the House and Senate; you have to be realistic. Americans, I think, would be much, much happier if you got the U.S. out of the Iran conflict and lowered prices by removing the tariffs and improving the grid. Lay the groundwork all you want for the amendment, but ya know, be realistic about how that process works and all of the steps involved.
Between this and your comment yesterday, one would almost get the feeling that incumbent creatures of this particular swamp will soon be endangered species, but I think that the drip of fresh blood (as opposed to a flood) strongly favors indoctrination rather than revolution, and youngsters be disappointed.
However, I think that this is for the better. If the incumbents are gone, you're the prime game for all the predators you'll face on the interfaces of your institutional swamp. I've been in that position when I was waaaay too young to recognize that - I didn't even have the skills to recognize a sociopath. I got my butt pwnd within a year.
Better have some allies to suck up to in the beginning. Play their game for a while. Go for the kill when you're wiser and more powerful. Then at least you'll have a chance to succeed.
Good. The far left need to be checked.
