Worthless sack of shit tries more pointless displacement activity.

-Chuck Schumer!
AOC should primary Schumer given his track record of going back on his word.
His next election isn't until 2028. So it's going to be a bit before anything like that is attempted.
Is that it? Just so that it all happens all over again?
Right now, he's playing defense, and simply trying to prevent the election from being rigged too badly by the Republicans
I agree that the Democrats need to be far more ambitious; how much they can be will depend very much on the size of the majority they win. Last time, they couldn't pass anything more than a budget — and even that required a coal baron to sign off on it — which is why the Inflation Reduction Act was structured the way it was.
No. Come on. Chuck was there when Obama squandered a majority. You can't wait until you know you'll win to even try. Leadership means making the case for doing what's right, not collecting a paycheck until conditions get so bad the voters demand action. Consevatives sure as shit don't wait until they have a majority to advance their agenda.
Of course, that's the problem. Chuck is a corporate-owned centrist hired to be opposition in name only. He's not the solution to any problem we face.
Plus he's really struggling with how to make sure they loose the mid terms...
No he's not, they can do that in their sleep. The struggle is to trick viewers into believing they're actually trying, well, anything.
