Reposted from David Nir

"Privately, House Democrats are so infuriated with Schumer’s decision that some have begun encouraging [AOC] to run against Schumer in a primary, according to a Democratic member who directly spoke with Ocasio-Cortez about running at the caucus’ policy retreat."

Look this sounds great if you don’t live in New York. We are the state of disappointing Dems. AOC won in a safe district. It is unlikely she can win a statewide primary.

Honestly - I am with you. 4 years ago I would never thought I’d say this, but she has become the true leader of the opposition party. She needs to run for Senate.

Almost 4 years is too long to have to wait though.

Nope why ? Smh

Lack of leadership support held us back last November. That wasn't enough. Nancy bars leadership change to maintain a status quo which keeps us out of step nationally. Chuck has done NOTHING to slow the fascist attack and supports a fascist budget
Times changed. For the future, we MUST change too

It only she were a male, she’d make excellent presidential material! Sadly, thanks to sexism, racism, and general ignorance we’re decades behind on that kinda thing.

emilyanna.bsky.social•32 days ago

We’ve never had a hot young woman try. Sounds stupid but I don’t think it is. I think she could win.

ponfarrporfavor.bsky.social•32 days ago

That could work in her favor but I think American sexism is too deep rooted for that kind of thing. I’d like to say it will be different one day but we seem to be going backwards with an FTL drive over the last 2 months.

do you want to borrow my espresso machine y/n

I hope we don’t try to destroy Schumer. He has served with distinction but he should step aside.

marcyjo8.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’ll bake treats with you!

Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great. https://gofund.me/0af928df

I'm a good, professional writer with social anxiety disorder who is not best equipped for front-facing stuff, but I'd love to find a way in to help this country in some way

jonsternfeld.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’m confused. Isn’t Schumer not up again until 2028?

seejayone.bsky.social•31 days ago

I played Cubs in 5 many times on my college radio show in the 90s. So glad we’re on the same team.

kateat5alarmfire.bsky.social•31 days ago

I'll happily send crates of butter-tarts, lukewarm Canadian beer and as many eggs as they can handle. Just... get rid of that tiny little hamster of a man, please.

Find someone who knows how to ROAR.

Schumer has been my elected representative since I was a young child. Nothing would make me happier than to see him primaried by @aoc.bsky.social. He is abandoning us.

shanekd.bsky.social•32 days ago

Schumer will retire so no need but she’d beat that ass.

rhythmik.bsky.social•31 days ago

these old ghouls never retire

aminosbilly.bsky.social•32 days ago

I think this music guy makes a really good point, and I'm on board to see you tip old fossil Schumer off the starboard side.

michaeldubose.dev•32 days ago

Any software dev needs completely pro bono from me as well. I’m more of a savory chef so you don’t want to try my baking… I’m a pretty solid dev though

banawan.bsky.social•32 days ago

John, sign me up for your bake sale.

mrsdianek.bsky.social•31 days ago

I will make samiches.

unclegabbadoo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Schumer needs to get out of the way now, though. He (and Dem leadership in general) are failing us and there's no time to be fooling around while the fascists take over.
