I can't read minds, but it's a wild coincidence that he had a book tour with tickets the week after he folded for the CR. Seems like he just wanted to keep his schedule free. If it's true, it makes me angry. If it's just a coincidence, how does he not understand perception at his level? Come on.
I’m just not getting your point Donn?! I reread it and still I’m confused about WTF are you talking about change the name?! Whose name?!Why?!Again what’s your point?!🤷🏼♀️I don’t know because you didn’t tell me/us!!!???
Jeezus, look at his second post in this thread…the Time’s Up, Chuck meme. The Reformers are a new group he is affiliated with now. The screenshots I posted to you/him are comments on this thread from Canada & UK on groups that are called Reformers. That’s why I said he should consider a new name.
I’m still not understanding what Donn’s point is here in reference to the name?! I am curious about what Donn’s talking about because I keep rereading it and damn it’s just not making sense at all?!🙋🏼♀️💙🙏🏻🇺🇸
Donn I don’t want to sound immature but here in America up Chuck means vomiting! 🤮 yeah so saw that what’s up chuck and my mind went to there and not politics - just being brutally honest with you 🤦🏼♀️💦at my own expense 🤦🏼♀️💦💦
I know but you were dragging me as if I was being stupid when you said that you didn’t understand what I was saying. It wasn’t like you just asked me about it. I’m done with this conversation.
AOC isn’t even that progressive just in the dumpster developing nation of Christian brain rot she’s seen as Chairman mao because she thinks the richest country in the world should not let its citizens die over a couple hundred dollars of insulin
If that makes you feel better. Unlike you, who voted for Jill Stein, or just sat home, I voted blue up and down the ballot all three times Trump ran. All I ever said was that I am still mad at Roan for equivocating Harris and Trump. She was not a helper.
Nice try. I voted for Harris this time. Although tbh I actually considered voting for Trump until I read Vance's memoir. No way was I voting that mediocre religious psycho into any federal office. I figured Trump would be bad but thought Vance would be worse... Oof.
AOC's intro starts 5:53. This is normie, common sense, instinctual, political straight talk. I question the motives of ANYONE trying to convince me that these ideas are radical or fringe ESPECIALLY, now that our country has turned into a radical RIGHT-WING hellscape.
2) She has a sense of how to move the crowd to climactic moments; many #Dems can't make that connection when speaking
--I'm hugely concerned about her security. During events, people cannot be allowed to walk up and behind the stage, for example. Highly likely she's in an elevated risk category.
To be fair Chuck is a tool to help progress the party away from neoliberalism. While hammering Chuck there’s a need to hammer the message that big $ has no place in politics and we need rank choice voting or else this will all just repeat. As it basically is now from the early1900s.)
Yup, $$$ needs to be constrained only to publicly funded limits for all candidates. How they utilize those funds will level the playing field and may indicate how financially prudent they are.
The two party system and the electoral college are seriously flawed. Both have skewed consequences.
Exactly this. Too many of these old timers especially think that appeasing donors to get money is just part of the job. They never fight to change it. So they use marginalization as their constant battlefield.
Take heart Canada, we Progressives are nearly half of the Dem party and are set to become a majority thanks to the Moderates. We vibe most with YOU since YOU are a role model, progress being they key word.
We have it in the UK too with Reform UK. They are all friends with Trump, Musk, Bannon the AFD in Germany etc. Despicable fascists all working together!
Also: The Reform Party took over The Conservative Party in Canada, as it lent them respectability. And older Canadians set in their ways would automatically vote. For what they think are the old Tories but its Reform in sheep’s clothing.
Actually, I heard him speak today and he raised some good points. They would have had absolutely no recourse if government had shut down. Plus, the country goes into even more chaos than it’s in and Reps get to point the finger at the Dems.
Please take a minute to listen to him explain his reasons.
In normal circumstances, yes. When the USA is staring down the barrel of authoritarianism and fascism, a big fat NO. Study Neville Chamberlain and how far he got with appeasing the Nazis, to avoid “at the moment problems”, all those years ago.
He's pretending that the situation is normal and normal rules apply. The resources of our institutions are being leveled against us, the same way a cancer robs a body of it's resources to spread. You don't beat cancer by giving it more. You starve it. Giving up for nothing was a betrayal.
Democrats are a spectrum. They're everyone left of repubs, which is damn near everyone other than repubs at this point. They're right wing allllll the way to left wing. That's what happens when sane people see an existential threat like the alt-right, they band together for survival.
We must shut down the country on 3/22-23 for 48 hours, and again on 3/25-27 for 72 hours. Stop work as you can, call in sick, take 1/2days off, come in late, take long lunches, leave early. We must work stop our airlines, trucking, transportation and retail and industrial manufacturing.
In 2028? Why not just remove his leadership status and replace him with a sitting Senator? AOC remains a valued member of the House. She might make a great Speaker
which is great, but then they will pressure her to move to the right. because they are still republican lite at heart. I hope she does, with a list of demands and concessions from the centrist and blue dog dems.
America is currently in a Coup carried out by a billionaire, a TV actor, and their fascist accomplices.
The only way they win is if „We the People“ bow down and let them !!
Freedom must be fought for.
Yeah I can agree. I think if the normie voter heard a politician say: “I’m a moderate and that’s why I want everyone to have universal higher education” or “I’m a moderate and that’s why I want everyone to have healthcare”.. people would adapt.
In other countries (that we supposedly view as our peers) that is all sooo normal (I'm sure I don't have to tell you that). So why not. We've lost the script, we need to refocus, but yeah it's going to take some adjusting for ppl 2 get there. Learn2 turn towards instead of against each other.
In just days, Democrats have a chance to SHRINK the GOP House majority and RUIN Trump’s plans!
Florida has TWO special elections on April 1—these seats are WINNABLE, but ONLY if Dems step up NOW!
Time is running out. Chip in now to help FLIP these seats! https://blueresist.us/FLSpecialElection?t=sqVYx6
out with old and in with the new.
someone tell schumer you dont reason with a crocodile when your head in in his mouth , he and all the other old guys have to go,
I get that he voted to keep it open…but if he didn’t what happens? If it gets shut down wouldn’t we be more vulnerable? I don’t think there was a good choice…
Oh yeah we suck for recognizing the failure that has plagued the dems since Obama left us with NO repeatable infrastructure and corporate whores in the top leadership.....
There wasn't a good choice, but the choice he made handed them the win anyway, so perhaps it would have served the long game better to make the other choice.
I've been done with that guy for long time. He's a lousy Senator and an even worse leader. I am sick of holding my nose to vote for him because the NY Republicans are the worst. Right now, I'd vote for Dracula if he were running against Schumer.
The left wing should have parted ways with the establishment Demokrats when Joo Biden gave up the New Green Deal to get his budget passed to feed the military industrial complex.
I heard him reference "the playbook" or something of the sorts in an interview this week and thought the same thing! Buddy! Look around! Rule books out the damn window, wake tf up! You're not going to protect your people playing by the old rules and refusing to resist.
There’s a huge number of Democrats who believe the Progressives are out of touch. They want Bernie to sit down and shut up…they shut him out of the democratic, nominating process with super delegates…remember? I love Bernie and AOC. Bernie’s been singing the income gap song for years! He’s right!
is it "EAT YOUR OWE" now? All the Influencers are promoting this idea, mostly for clicks which means mostly for money. You are being played. Keep your eye on the real evil. If the CR had not passed, Lardass would have been able to gut the govt. Is that what you are promoting. Think for yourself.
That is completely patronizing. It’s not influencers and we’re not being played. We’re on the ground fighting and Schumer betrayed us. Do you think Pelosi doesn’t understand the CR and implications of voting no?
Patty Murray has voted to defund the Govt in the past. She is not on your side, neither is AOC. These women talk a good game but will cause a catastrophe if allowed to.
Cause a catastrophe? We’re already there! The largest federal employee union wanted the Dems to vote no. They’re on the inside and know what’s at stake.
handing the govt on a platter to Lardass is not fighting. Its surrendering. I like Pelosi. But she is not right 100% of the time. while we are fighting amongst ourselves the Magots are destroying everything they can. The repugs have been trying to shut down the govt for over a long time. Why?
The vote was not about the CR. It was a test by the GOP to see if Dems in Congress were going to stand up to Trump and fight. They failed. Now Trump know he has no opposition. And the vote was a test to see if our elected officials had the backs of those of us protesting in the streets.
Agreed. Sick of the "shouldn't be in party fighting argument. "Lardass" and crew is STILL gutting the government. I can walk and chew gum at the same time. Wanting Schumer gone doesn't mean I don't want people in office gone too. Everyone not fighting for the working class can get my heat. IDGAF.
He can’t be primaried until 2028. Who knows if he’s even going to run for re-election. I agree, he needs to step down from leadership, but I doubt he will resign entirely from the senate before his term is up.
That’s when people make his life such a fucking living hell day-to-day that’s when it takes Americans following him with their cameras, and essentially harassing him, make his work so unbearable that he will want to just leave nothing violent just make him extremely uncomfortable.
Then you also find out all of the millionaire billionaire friends that he has start boycotting their companies when they ask why they’re being boycotted you say because you support this piece of shit over here and we want him gone. You put pressure on his purse strings he will fumble.
I used to think she was too radical. Now it seems that traditional leadership has failed and incremental change is a lost concept. Either we find leaders who can fight these Nazis or we become Nazis.
TBF, @aoc.bsky.social is fuckin fabulous in her own right. I'm just so done with old white folks running everything into the ground for most of us. We need shit fixed and I believe she has the balls to ram meaningful legislation through.
https://youtu.be/X_EHcdwUuy0?si=AifRHFJDr21Kb1Mp
The need for professional revolutionaries is exactly the same, no matter who had taken office Czar Harris or Czar trump the oligarchy wins and we lose. Or like gambling at the casino the house always wins. At least dems are beginning to see the media&their party with luck Rs
Everyone suddenly seems to be a political strategist, and I think it’s worth asking why.
I’m not here to say Chuck Schumer is right or wrong — he explained his reasoning on The View. Dismissing that as “terrible” feels like maybe there’s something else going on beneath the surface.
I'm not saying that you are terrible... only this one take. Neville Chamberlain explained his position to the public and history deemed it terrible. Acquiscence to authoritarians only leads to more losses.
It’s worth noting that yours is one of the few countries in the developed world where politicians aren’t required to put their investments into blind trusts.
🤔
He did the right thing. Under normal circumstances they should have shut the government down but Trump is trying to dismantle the government and has no incentive to reopen it. A shut down would have given Trump and Musk the opportunity to do whatever they wanted unopposed.
Which Would Be 'Better' For The Democratic Party? Which Would ENSURE A Strong, Loyal, and More Motivated Base?
1. Democratic Base ALLOWS Current Leadership To Try And Pivot To A More 'Modern' Style Of Leadership?
2. Base INSISTS On More 'Modern' Leaders-With A More Modern Style Of Leadership?
🇺🇸 🗽
The Dems need AOC and the few others who have come out against this destruction of our democracy to assume leadership positions. If they keep the Schumers and the other traitors who voted yes in office, we are fucked and will need to create a new party
Great! Schumer needs to resign so does Durbin. We need leaders that walk the talk as they say. Old school politics is gone for now. Dems need to rise to the moment. It’s now!
From pushing back AOC’s progressive actions for years, to finally realize the old rotting playbook that’s making democrats and our democracy sick and weak. Pathetic.
The majority of Lefties are tired of this Center shenanigans aka Republican Lite. That's why Dems Approval Numbers are so low.
They are also to blame for Velveeta Voldimort's Rise. They kept Bernie from being the candidate. He would have beat That Orange Poison!!
Except no. We need both of them at their posts. Maybe Schumer could step down; but does AOC know pretty convincingly that she will be replaced by a Democrat?
He is not exposing himself. lol. You have a King. His Royal Highness King DJT you are so very lucky. But I don’t have to wait very long he will be my king too. The sound of heavy armoured tanks will be on its way soon enough.
There are so many Democrats that want Schumer's head on a platter. He is supposed to be working for the American people. He is supposed to be working for the people that put him in office and instead he has become donald's bitch boy.
Nah, he’s taking the heat for how most of them felt. It’s up to the people, not the politicians IMO. There should be millions of us out protesting as in other countries
Our elected officials should be working for us. Chuck schumer is a democrat, and he should be fighting against the republican regime that is turning our country into a fascist country. He should not be sucking donald's dick. His job is to be working for us!!!
We 100% would have been blamed for the shut down. It would change the narrative to us stopping payments instead of Trumps daily disgraces. There’s a reason most of the Senate didn’t speak out
The GOP offers populism while democrats reject populists like AOC and Bernie Sanders. That created this illusion of a “right wing” shift. It has less to do with ideology and more to with the fact that people are largely sick of what they perceive to be a government that doesn’t work for them.
I’ve gone over many sources-Musk spent💰in order to be the richest fuckg scammer;he did so to avoid many lawsuits&other financialfraud/schemes!He’s no credibility whatsoever&is trying to hold an expensive pityparty to get morons to give him more💰,as he’s the richest man in the world &fucks USover🙋🏼♀️💙🇺🇸🙏🏻
Centrist Dems are why America has fallen to fascists. Weak & stupid, too lazy too even try, they forfeited the messaging war & handed the information to the MAGA. Feckless shills like Schumer sucking down that sweet corporate money while thinking it's the 1900s. Viva la revolution.
We need fresh blood and new views and strategies. I am so tired of Schumer. He is about the lowest energy that anyone could be in his position, we cannot afford that. The Democrats need some energetic people out there speaking for us!
Centrists are pragmatists—AOC has demonstrated the leadership needed to get us out of this mess—Schumer has repeatedly shown he doesn’t have what it takes to meet the moment.
It's pretty simple, either he needs to resign as Leader, or we will fire him all together. He has been a good Senator both for NY and the Country; but his days of Leadership are behind him. Like most Boomers, he refuses to realize that he is wrong, and the people no longer support him.
Gosh I didn't realize he was a boomer. It's the boomers that have lost their way. Those that went MAGA 🤯 & those that went right in the name of bipartisanship. Then there are those of us that are still 💙.Chuck is in the DC bubble. We need to differentiate. We are better together; we need each other
I want Schumer to be unseated as minority leader. We need a fighter who sees the big picture and the danger this country faces and who’s willing to fight.
After listening to Schumer explain how the Executive has unlimited power during a shutdown, I'm happy about his vote. However, I am would also look forward to having AOC primary him. We have way too many old politicians.
But he folded without getting any concessions, not what I call a fighter. We need a smart street fighter, not a guy like Chuck that's going to wait until Trump's pole numbers are down .
Agree! R’s WANTED a shutdown as they have always wanted a shutdown-
Last wk R’s hoped Dems wld shut it down-as reported R’s said they would’ve kept it shutdown indefinitely which would’ve allowed them to cherry pick what they wld open…if any
Giving them even more power in the end
AOC primary Chuck👍
Keep #AOC in the House of Representatives and make her Speaker when the Dems reclaim the majority. That way she’s next in line to be President when #Trump and #Vance have to make way.
Schumer lost us the high court, mostly because he hated Obama with a purple passion and has always refused to stand up to McConnell.
I am glad democrats are finally waking up to the right wing insanity crippling their party.
The Democratic Party experienced us with RBG and with President Biden.
Personally, I live in Texas and I’m sick of the blue state leadership. They have proven to be insulated people who do not care about the majority of Democrats in America. I’m done with them.
Ok. But that’s so far away and does nothing for now. Can we get AOC to carry weight with Senators via using her social presence to get the immediate change we need for the current fight?
This is not a popular opinion but eventually it will turn out that Chuck Schumer had 2 bad choices and picked the better one offered. Now the Republicans cannot point the finger at the Democrats and say that they are the ones who shut down the federal government.
but now they can say, look everything we're doing is legal, the Democrats signed off on it. They codified doge and gave up a critical check and balance by handing power of the purse to trump. His plan is to let things get worse and hope maga flips. Until then people continue to be hurt
The Republican party is nothing more than a bunch of quislings. And my Democratic party is in the minority until 2026 assuming there are free and fair elections. Keeping the government open is keeping the bureaucracy open which is gumming up what DOGE is doing.
so if democrats win in 2028, the opposition party that has blocked and pulled them right at every turn for almost a decade is suddenly going to assist in reconstruction? We can't just rebuild things that have been lost, we can't unstarve children who lost usaid, we have to draw lines.
They were going to do that with a shutdown. No difference except IMHO they can point to the Democrats as the catalyst and subsequently keep the government shutdown forever.
1 more thing. My Democratic Party is still in disarray. I need them to get a coherent message and strategy.
She will obliterate him. Why won’t he just collaborate on leadership succession with the next generation of leaders? My god, it’s like grandpa won’t give up the car keys after running up a few curbs and having a fender bender.
She will not obliterate him. NYC voted for Adams as Mayor - knowing he was corrupt - rather than for Maya Wiley, who was endorsed by AOC and Our Revolution. Also, voters in Bowman's district won't vote for her nor will others. She's popular in her own district, not in the state.
Millennial here, not so young anymore but even we have been waiting for the chance to be truly represented! Fossils need to go, they’re the reason we’re here as it is. We have younger stars that have been suppressed for far too long by people like Schumer and Pelosi. This is OUR time now.
That is your problem. You have been waiting. As often said, “Power is never given. It must be taken”. Young candidates do not have the experience and skill to build broad support. Democracy is majority rule. If you can’t get the majority, you don’t get to rule.
Yes, it’s majority rule, and those like Schumer are no longer the majority. The millennials and gen X have not been able to compete because we don’t have the numbers that boomers do. Now with GenZ in the fold WE are the majority and we ARE taking it. Schumer can cling all he wants but he’s done.
And as far as experience, the elders of this party are so out of touch with today’s world and technology that they’re getting steamrolled by a party of morons who dominate us purely on tech savvy. They embraced digital media while we did cable network press conferences that nobody under 60 watches.
All a young candidate has to do is bring a left-of-center platform and they will win. Unless progressives throw a hissy fit over whatever issue is boiling over at election time.
You keep referencing generations, which are not recognized by any sociologist. Boomers are the only recognized generation. JFK had enormous cross generation popularity. As did Bill Clinton. And Obama. And Harris too, although Dems let her down last year.
Point taken, though I’ve voted every election since my 18th birthday. But I was thinking of the new generation of congress members, who do vote, and sometimes even light up frickin feeds around here.
They don’t have to step down. Even though Pelosi did exactly that. Young candidates need to STEP UP and build broad support that takes power away from the old guard.
Maybe if young people were actually represented they would. “Representation matters” has been a democratic refrain for decades now. Why doesn’t it matter to young people?
Nah, that’s always the first pat answer and it’s total horseshit. Their prefrontal coretex hasn’t fully developed and they simply don’t care. Biden canceled billions in student debt and where were they in November? “OMG, like, gaza you guys!”
Actually, I’ve had extensive contact with rural county maga-types and they are universally against loan forgiveness because “I didn’t getta go to college, so why should I pay for someone else’s tuition?” Furthermore, anyone who has listened to BBC coverage of the Israeli wars over the last 1/
/2 18 months, or other international coverage may have a different perspective on what is happening in Gaza. Or someone who caught the hourlong This American Life doc featuring the “undecided” contingent from Dearborn who were ready to courageously endorse Harris to their community for 5 minutes /
Then we need to find out exactly why and maybe start listening to them, really listening. And find a way to fire them up, not criticize them. This is nothing new…we used to call it the generation gap.
Schumer is, but why is jeffries, he spoke out against voting with donald?? I haven't been paying total attention because I need to take a step back or I go a little crazy, so I might have missed something?
Jeffries is one of those guys who is definitely not a leader. He should be putting up more fight as all Democrats should be. Go on youtube and watch kyle talk about Hakeem Jeffries. Secular talk is the youtube channel.
Thank you. I appreciate your response. I have not been paying as close as attention as I should because I, i'm devastated by what's happening. I keep writing to my legislators, and they don't even bother to respond anymore even the democrats, it's too much, it feels like we've lost.
It's bad, but you have to keep up the spirit. And you've got to remain vigilant and fight in anyway whether it's through economic response to the robber Barons, whatever you can do and keep the faith,keep smiling.
I am, the only social media I have is blue sky. I got rid of amazon, cut up my red card and I am done with target. I am spending my money only with companies that don't support fascism.
It is clear younger Dems are more Progressive. But really back in the 60’s/70’s Dems were Progressive. I was there. Repubs pushed Dems further right in the name of bipartisanship we’ve got to get back to our roots .
I always find it interesting that we marched for civil rights, womens rights, and went to jail over Vietnam, but millennials, who sit around and whine, but do nothing, see themselves as progressives. Where is their “Good Trouble.” all I hear is “but I might lose my job.” That is the point dumbasses.
2. The huge white woman vote for Trump. It was very difficult. Both are true but they wanted nothing to do with it. I'm afraid for the dissent among Dems. Keep up the good work ✊
It may get more difficult as time goes by and the history of it gets lost. I think we have to talk about it more. Get it out there.I was young but followed (The) Angela Davis; I was called a racist by the other day because I pointed out the ethnics that voted Biden->Trump. -1
Really that’s your take? Cause we’re just drowning in civil rights, women’s rights, and see no wars against an indigenous people. Way to go Boomers! Why don’t you just elect another Reagan to further decimate the working class? Oh wait… 🫤
Oh geez. Not all boomers elected Reagan. As in anything it's best not to put us all in the same category. I am a full on progressive. I was out protesting & working on all these issue back in the day. We've got to work together & not make us pass a purity test.
My kids are all millennials. I love them dearly, but they would not engage in good trouble or risk getting clubbed in the head by police for a million dollars, much less their own freedom.
My daughter is a Gen X. Maybe all my political activism caused her to be apathetic. But, ya, same here. My Gen Z granddaughters are liberal but I have to admit they are getting pretty overwhelmed right now. I am getting a lot of arguing and blaming from Dems these days, are you seeing any of that?
Are you on glue? All of that is way better than when I was a kid and Hollywood cowboys were killing native Americans on the big screen everywhere, drinking fountains were segregated & people got strung up for protesting. I agree that we are going backwards. I’ve fought that for well over 50 years.
And you have fixed every bit of that, haven’t you? When you’re willing to give your life for your cause, talk to me. You need to be provocateurs. Death of the middle class began during Reagan admin, and it was the greatest gen that put him in power. I’ve been a Democratic Socialist since I was 17.
Hmmm. Then they must hate the current leadership that immediately caves to their demands. You know, you might have a promising career as a dem strategist.
Schumer is a right winger, to move to the center Democrats must replace him with someone who is willing to drag the party to the left to correct decades of capitulation and collaboration.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. “Pussies are strong, resilient and life giving. This man is Balls. Balls are weak, sensitive and easy to destroy with a little flick”. Pussy is not a synonym for weak.
The most urgent agenda for the Dems is to find a prospective leader, someone who ppl can rally behind. Right now they are leaderless and it just adds to the despair!
MAGATs decided it was better 2 burn it all down & start over. Dems should adopt d same strategy & make AOC head of d senate. Many ppl will think she’s 2 inexperienced & young. 2 them I’ll say: don’t we have a petulant toddler in d WH??? We need a new approach desperately.
I live in Long Island NY. I donate to AOC, love her politics, energy. But she would have a hard time in NY in the general election. the NYC burbs are 55/45 Magat ridden.Upstate rural 60/40 magaty or worse. She would have to roll up huge majorities in NYC. It's possible
The other cities in NYS would vote for her over him. If he can win, she can win bigger. The ROC area is very young and diverse, huge PR and immigrant population.
Look at what Trump 2.0 has done so far! He, They, Them are not going to STOP and we are not going back to the old normal. The old guys, in the Democratic party, will only put the same old stuff back in place. We need change we DON'T need to go through this B S ever again!

I’ve been sending the same message to Durbin as well, who also voted for the CR. If you’re pushing 80, it’s time to move on to your next chapter.
But DO hold them accountable by their actions.
Today, Chuck Schumer.
Tomorrow? Probably Nancy Pelosi again.
Democrats going after Democrats — classic fallout from the same Russian propaganda machine that got us into this mess.
I’m not here to say Chuck Schumer is right or wrong — he explained his reasoning on The View. Dismissing that as “terrible” feels like maybe there’s something else going on beneath the surface.

Jeffries was actually the most popular.
I am glad democrats are finally waking up to the right wing insanity crippling their party.
Personally, I live in Texas and I’m sick of the blue state leadership. They have proven to be insulated people who do not care about the majority of Democrats in America. I’m done with them.
Get new blood.
Shutting down the government is like going to war in that there is no off-ramp. You don't know where it ends if there is only 1 sane political party.
And yes, it sucks.
It is building and it it is coming.
More importantly, you think if only the Democratic party had been more progressive, we would've won.
That is bullshit.
What the Democratic party needs to do & be is to be more effective in governing. We have great policies that can & do work
And, as noted, now drumph and his tech bro nazis can say everything they are doing is all approved and bipartisan.
1 more thing. My Democratic Party is still in disarray. I need them to get a coherent message and strategy.

I'd be really surprised if they come up with nothing.
He needs to step aside now as in yesterday.
Orderly succession is necessary for a healthy party.
All leaders can be judged by how they handle the succession.
We should continue to pressure Schumer to step down so AOC can be appointed.
Her seat will go Dem no matter what anyways and they’ll appoint a Dem behind her
and forgot about us
Centrists become the new ‘radical left’
We [Democrats] need to clean house, send the old bags to their choice of nursing home, and let The New Blood run this show!
Hey JOHN STEWART if you’re listening!!!
Sir, please consider a higher calling!!
What a bunch of fucking morons.
Watching the left come after the guy with the right solution like he was the fucking devil makes me lose all fucking hope.
Maya Wiley should primary him.
