Just saw Mark Warner and Chuck Schumer debut a talking point about the “Donald Trump Super Bowl” on the local news, to make a point about expensive avocados, and I cannot imagine Democratic leaders more profoundly unfit for the moment

Honestly, at this point, legacy Dems need to be forcefully removed just as the current administration does because they are just as much the fucking problem at this point.
I have been trying to call his office I keep getting disconnected. It also happened to my 92 yr old mother. In VA we need to primary him. He is past his understanding of todays politics stick in the pass.

I have suspected for a long time that whatever advisors there are to the leadership of the democratic party, have actually been working for the Republicans all along.
A primary Schumer group needs to be formed, now. I wish I knew how to go about that, but I'll happily donate and volunteer for it. Scare the living shit out of him for the next three years.
The most insane thing is, for all the vitriol between them, establishment Dems and the DSA crowd really do believe that it's all about economics and the pocket book. They yell and scream at each other, but their only different is incrementalism vs. revolution. Neither of them understand people.
Chuck is old. Needs to be replaced by the younger up and comers who are ready to fight. Actually, they have never stopped fighting. Get out of the way and let them in!
Problem is—the tariff situation IS a huge, galloping Trump-induced disaster, so focusing some attention on it is fine.
But not just with mild snark... focus on the fact that it looks like a Putinish preamble to *invading* Canada.
And give equal time to the freaking Treasury robbery—ugh!
It wouldn't even be hard to do kitchen table in the context of antifascism.
"Tyranny is always about taking everything away from people. Their rights, their dreams, their hopes, their love. Of course it'll include your money as well; tyranny always enslaves the working class."
While inflation affected the 2024 outcome, this also misunderstands the mechanisms by which that happened. Politicians giving canned lines in media spots isn't what drove that. It was the relentless news and non-news media focus on it. You cannot create that by repeating some quips.
The days of the "Good Ole Boys"-we know them, trust them will only lead to more dysfunction and the breakdown of democracy. We need leaders who will hold the corruption accountable! They are enablers living in a time gone by...

Have you denounced trump’s tariff inflation yet, or do we have to look at ACTUAL leaders like Schumer to do it?

They will be gone soon enough, but not soon enough, too.
