Too many geriatrics in USA politics. They need a nice warm drink and a blanket, not a position of power in a country that is rapidly leaving even the children of these people behind culturally.

>Shortly after Mills dropped out, McMorrow posted a video on social media boasting that she was the first Democratic senate candidate who would not support Schumer as leader.
Why would she lie like this? El-Sayed has said this many times already.

He needs to just resign his position as Senator right now and let Hochul appoint an termporary to take his place.
The Trump administration has declared war on Americans (literally, in a few cities, where he’s deployed militarized police forces who have terrorized and murdered people) and the Democrats want to play by the rules. Enough is fucking enough already. Get these weak, spineless, donor-slave pieces of shit OUT. NOW.

If there is anything that leads me to believe that elections are rigged, it’s that useless schmucks like Schumer, Lindsay Graham, Ted Cruz, Susan Collins and Jon Kennedy somehow keep getting elected despite doing absolutely fuck all for the American people.

If the Democrats want to be taken seriously as a political party, this guy needs to be removed from power.

If Democrats want to start winning people over before the midterms, get rid of Chuck and Jeffries.
Watch it not happen.

Wtf is “stunning” about this? The controlled opposition angle has ran its course.

Vote Progressive left in the midterms. Take the party back across the center line before the general midterms.

I support Schumer because of his efforts on the UAP front. People can dismiss it but I guarantee meaningful structural change cannot happen without facing this topic.
That being said, whats wrong with him weighting in then losing? In a way thats better for the anti Schumer people than him not taking public L’s right?
Also regarding my UAP point:
> “The Democratic establishment is completely disconnected from where Democratic voters are,” Amanda Litman, co-founder of Run for Something, told The Independent over text message. “People are hungry for change — the institutions that got us to this point cannot be the ones to get us out of it.”
I’LL amend this to say
-The establishment is completely disconnected from where voters are. The Voters are completely disconnected from where establishment is. Both are partly correct
– People are hungry for change — the institutions that got us to this point cannot be the ones to get us out of it.
– the institutions in question are not what one would naively assume. Or maybe they are but in a way much more complex way.
Again, the reason it seems like we keep facing the same problems is because we have yet to actually address them because…

We need radical reform to undo the damage of Trump’s reign of terror, and Schumer is going to be an active and pervasive obstacle to any kind of reform as long as he has influence. That puts him in the same category as MAGA as far as I’m concerned.

He needs to retire, not just step off.

Get out of the way, Chuck. Go be retired and enjoy your golden years. Ffs, man.

Establishment democrats need to stop letting fear rule their decisions and policy. Tell us how you’re going to make things better than they were, not how we’re going back to the same system that elected Trump twice.

Any 70+ year old politician needs to step back. And I say this as a 71 year old liberal boomer who considers himself a moderate that supports fiscal restraint by government, but also supports some form of universal or single payer health care and raising taxes on wealth and windfall business profits to help balance budgets.
I have this rather simplified belief that corporations need to pay the government before they reward the stock holders. Crazy talk, I know, but corporations need to help fund the system that enables them to reap those huge profits, and it is not normal for the investor class to demand a government that makes sure they get their 20% ROI every year as the federal government slips into bankruptcy.
But back to my original point. Us old farts need to get out of the way and allow folks most effected in the future by todays decisions to be in charge. The wisdom of age is great, but that doesn’t necessarily guarantee a brighter future. It’s like trying to solve a modern problem with last centuries technology because that’s all you know.
Political division, and income and wealth stratification, are at all time highs and getting worse. I’m pretty sure more of the same as the past three decades from politicians is not going to resolve those two things and the web of dysfunction that emanates from them.

The Dem establishment still think it’s the Clinton era. They think Republicans are just playing a game. They are completely out of touch and need to go.

Yes, please don’t support this genocide & terrorist supporting Democrat. Him and Jefferies needs to go yesterday.

This article doesn’t mention the actual progressive candidate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, who has been calling out Chuck Schumer this whole time. What a bullshit article. He is polling neck and neck with McMorrow so it’s not even like he’s trailing.
