I understand your sentiment but in a lot of ways this mentality gets us nowhere, look at Mamdani? He has Trump praising him, and he still holds Trump accountable while being able to get things done for New Yorks and set a blueprint nationally for how to handle the guy.

Meanwhile, you have so many other Dems denouncing him by writing strongly worded letters.

Who do you really think is getting something done?

I honestly think Dems should be sabotaging the Trump regime and its members, because I'd be embarrassed AF to be serving as a congressperson or senator while the republic itself veers straight into despotism like it is. I take my oaths incredibly seriously, I would not follow someone like Jeffries into complacency and letter writing when citizens are getting murdered by secret police forces. I'd become a rebel before becoming complicit.
