She basically said "schumer is a symptom, the real problem is the party itself, we need to primary people and get them out." Not sure how that's spineless.
She should say yes Shumer should live then talk about how the problem is deeper
VOTERS ARE ALREADY AWARE THE PARTY IS PROBLEMATIC.
They don't need it repeated for the umpteenth time. She needs to start making more cutthroat statements and quit tap dancing around the conversation.
NO THEY ARE NOT!

Get out of your bubble. Vast majority of people keeps voting for incumbents. They still see Democrats as opposition to Republicans, not as a different wing of the same party it is. Voter are still light years away from understanding what's going on and voting accordingly.
AOC is 100% right here. This is not about Schumer or the 8 "traitors". Dems were going to approve this budget from the beginning. They did a little bit of theater and sacrificed 8 of them. Now people want to stone 8 of them instead of being mad at the whole party. Next elections they will vote for incumbents anyway because "my senator didn't vote with Republicans". Yeah, he didn't have to. They only needed 8 votes but would get 30 if they needed.
If she's going to run for his position, she's not gonna tip her hand.
