@Beachbum Schumer actively opposed the very people who won across the nation. To credit him with this win is just plain wrong.
@mastodonmigration How many DSA candidates do you really think won over the conventional middle of the road Democrats? They are not the majority.
I’m not trying to argue with you, but I have been a political wonk since 1974. How many of them do you actually think know how the House or the Senate works internally? How many know what reconciliation is? How many know what the Rules Committee is? How many know what the Parliamentarian is? They are about to learn. 💫
@Beachbum Not saying we need a very liberal progressive. What we need is a good leader. A real leader. Chuck Schumer is a miserable choice. We can do much better. Chris Van Hollen would be perfect.
@mastodonmigration He did not support, I would not say he opposed. Once they won their primaries, he was 100% behind them. There are a few I would have opposed also because they’re extreme and cannot achieve their extreme agenda. It’s a pipe dream. I appreciate how all the young people and non-voters who voted this time feel like they should be in control, but that’s not how it works. Schumer is more likely to sway 3-4 GOP senators to go along with them than anyone else could.
@Beachbum Disagree. He is a terrible choice for leader. His popularity is 13%. Whenever he speaks people cringe. We need a compelling leader who can galvanize the country in these challenging times. The widely despised Chuck Schumer is not that guy.
@mastodonmigration That’s foolish. Who had historic wins? Who do people think brought about the tsunami? Good governance, guidance and money from the House and Senate PACs and the DNC. That’s what brought about the tsunami. I’m all for Jeffries and Schumer.
