    Please go away and don’t stop leaving Chuck. You are worse than useless, you are malign.

      They get the quality of leader that as a collective they vote for.

      Since fuckall turn out for primaries and 60% for the main vote, Schumer reflects the vote in terms of quality and effort.

      When Americans start blaming themselves taking responsibility for where they are, they might fix it.

      Edits for clarity

        There is no one challenging anyone in power. You can’t blame the voters alone for not turning out to vote for, no one. The problem is not the electorate, it’s the system that is so corrupted that no one thinks they can make a difference and just surrenders it to them, even as surrendering it to them leaves us wide open to fascists seeking to put a permanent fix in.

        We need new leadership, inside and outside the party, and we don’t need new primaries for leadership outside the party. There is no time like the present. Until you bring that you cannot blame the voters as they don’t have any other options.

        I agree completely. We get the government we deserve, as a whole.

        Trump and fascism are not the seed, they are the fruit.
