Jerry Nadler Out!

Old news is good news.

The longtime Democrat knew the two things happening. 

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) is retiring. He had a primary challenger who is well equipped to defeat him.

The support for Israel and most of the lawmakers are old are prime examples of the Democratic Party struggles to win over voters.

Nadler was on the list of primary targets. The progressives are mounting a "Tea Party" style of primary. The base is sick and tired of big donors, AIPAC, ineffective leadership and endless gaslighting.

The so called big tent party is struggling to register voters and donations.

After the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris presidential campaigns, the Democratic National Committee has struggled to bring in the revenue. They continue to ignore the base by voting against resolutions that call for an arms embargo on Israel.

Some New York U.S. House Democrats are not getting behind New York mayoral nominee, state representative Zohran Mamdani. He is challenging former Democrat turned independent incumbent Eric Adams and fending off spoiler candidate, independent Andrew Cuomo.

The most notable are the House and Senate Minority Leaders. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are literally depressing the Democrats.

Omar Fateh was stripped of his Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party endorsement as he is mounting a challenge against Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey.

Nadler who serves House Judiciary Committee as head and now co member. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a younger more progrssive member was beaten out of the role.

Nadler represents a significant swath of the borough of Manhattan and had served as the chair and ranking member of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, which put him at the center of three presidential impeachments.

In revealing his plans to The New York Times, Nadler admitted that his party and the country were in the midst of a generational change, and it was time for him to accept that reality.

He discussed what happened to former President Joe Biden, who gave in to calls from his party to step aside in the last election after a disastrous debate performance raised questions about his mental acuity.

“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Nadler told the Times.

Despite his seniority, Nadler was bound to face a robust primary challenge from a potentially wide field of younger and more progressive challengers.

Nadler’s sway in Washington was already waning. He was removed from his perch as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee at the start of this Congress, a sign that the party was pushing for younger leadership.

The Nadler seat is one of the bluest in the country, so it will likely remain in Democratic hands in the 2026 midterm elections.

NBC has reached out to the Nadler campaign for comment.

Democrats need to do these five things.

• Abandon Israel. I know it may cost some of the Jewish support but in order to win back Arab Americans, Muslims, young voters and progressives, you will have to sacrifice the status quo. We don't need to back an apartheid ethnostate engaged in a genocide and illegal globalization. We are in the stages of World War III. Israel, Russia and the United States are viewed extremely unfavorable.
• Stop gaslighting. Ohio voters see the results of Republican governance. The state is on track to lose population which means another lost of a congressional seat. That’s why these Republican morons in Columbus are rushing to redistrict congressional maps to keep their asses in power. Ohio Democrats are weak. The Democratic U.S. House and Senate members are weak and ineffective. Just imagine the theatrics of the Texas Democrats. All that fight and Texas Republicans still managed to win. Even with folks like Jasmine Crockett or Gavin Newsom strongly trolling Republicans, they are proven ineffective as well. Democrats need to fight dirty and unethical. Republicans have broken all forms of decor and civility. Why continue to be nice? No more being the grown ups. Act like the far right claims the Democrats are. Start proving that you are not afraid to be labeled. Republicans are proud to be fascists. Democrats need to prove they're not.
• Quit being moderate. As the Republicans are slowing moving towards fascism, the Democrats are moving towards conservatism. Progressive voters are abandoned which led to them joining other parties or becoming independent. This "Vote Blue No Matter Who" gave us Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and John Fetterman. They were the leading Democratic opposition in Biden's term. Sherrod Brown will pander to this core base of voters. Moderates are not looking for fights. They want compromise. I think Democrats and progressive voters are tired of watered down laws and making nice to Republicans.
• Let Trump destroy himself. The more we complain about his policies and his actions, the more we lose sight of the agenda to move forward. Democrats need to not keep reminding voters that the economy sucks. It sucked under Biden too. Republicans continue to resort to culture wars to generate votes. Whether its transgender rights or a Cracker Barrel logo, Republicans want folks distracted from the fact that gas is nearly $4 a gallon, paychecks are not able to pay for a decent life, people are getting desperate and vacations are becoming a thing of the past. Democrats should let Republicans tear everything down. Cause the Republicans are showing the public they are the big government nannies and all in the business of the American people.
• No more old candidates. Sherrod Brown, Robin Kelly, John Hickenlooper, Mark Warner, Jeff Merkley and Jack Reed are over 70 years old. It is not looking good when the candidates running are likely to pass away at any time. Democrats need to recruit candidates that are born between 1969 and 1999. This could prove to be a game changer if the Democrats show they're the party that wants to win back younger voters. I mean it would be nice to have candidates that aren't AARP card holders. If the Democrats need to win, start listening to young people and stop believing that old Black voter are the base. Take for example, Ohio. I owe Nina Turner an apology. AIPAC backed Shontel Brown which was key to her victory. So far, Brown has been proven slightly ineffective in her district. Her willingness to stand with Israel and not fix the problems in her district makes Democrats less inspired to vote. Shontel Brown (not related to Sherrod Brown), Marcy Kaptur, Joyce Beatty, Greg Landsman and Emilia Sykes are ineffective. They take money from AIPAC and show no fight towards Republicans. Landsman only fights the Democrats who oppose his stance on Israel. Kaptur, Landsman and Sykes are at risk of losing their seats with the Republican plan to redistrict congressional maps despite the Ohio voters demanding a fair map. The voters rejected an independent comission map. If we can win back voters, pick young candidates.

The supporters of former vice president Kamala Harris are playing on this "We tried to warn you" nonsense. How can you morally stand on principles of being a progressive and back Israel?

First and foremost, Americans have a right to vote for whomever they chose.

Second, Harris failed to win over voters. She stuck with former president Joe Biden on the economy, Israel, Ukraine, immigration and inflation. The former president failed to listen to voters and his base.

The former president gave unilateral support and cover. We knew Trump would be worse. We demanded that Biden and Harris put pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel to stop killing and invading other countries.

Progessive influncers are practically on these platforms saying that they ain't helping the former Biden/Harris voters who voted for as Trump. They are exposed as paid operatives to force the party to tow the line despite frustrations.

That's perfectly fine. 

It makes them more independent and it declines support for Democratic candidates.

MAGAland going crazy and protests are growing.

As I explained, I voted for Harris for president. I told family members that Israel will be a major factor. Trump's near assassination was a big factor. His mugshot too.

Democrats waste too much time scaring voters. I get it. Trump is an essential threat to the country. 

It's that type of noise that keeps Democrats in the minority. 

Americans who backed Trump are seeing reality. He has already overplayed his hand.

Federal workers are being laid off or being forced to be in office. The ineptness of the federal government is on full display as Americans are finding out that services are disrupted. 

Transgender Americans are being banned from everyday life. They are being blamed for the actions of that mass shooter in Minneapolis.

The U.S. is pulling out of the Paris Climate Accords, UN Human Rights, UNRWA and the World Health Organization. It puts us at risk for global pandemics, catastrophic weather events and potential boycotts of American products.

The economy is still struggling despite Trump’s boasting.

Israel is still conducting its genocide. They are committing war crimes in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and Iran. They are illegally seizing land in Lebanon, Syria and Cyprus.

Immigrants are being deported in a inhumane way.

Project 2025 and Greater Israel are very unpopular.

And the Kamala Harris supporters are trying to guilt trip people who didn't support her bid. I supported her bid and wished she won. Unfortunately, the stars weren't aligned. I was disappointed. I almost gave up.

But I started to realize that I want Trump and Israel to fail. And fail they shall.

For the next four years, we gonna see the Trump machine breakdown again.
