Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is facing a potentially serious challenge to his hold on power as momentum builds behind Chris Van Hollen, with the Maryland senator now reportedly open to a run for majority leader.
A movement to draft Van Hollen to challenge Schumer is gaining steam, according to Politico Playbook, which reported Monday that two people close to the effort said it was underway.
A person familiar with Van Hollen’s thinking told the outlet that the senator has “received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode.”
So stick with the status quo centrists because thats such a winning thing, is what you are saying eh habitualcynic.
So bold. Because centrism was winning so hard, right.
Vote for progressive candidates in the Dem primary. Help them win, and you don’t have to vote for centrist fucks. But if the progressives doesn’t win, vote the dem anyway because it’s less damaging.
Precisely. They either don’t understand strategy or they are Russian trolls supporting the fascists.
Do you care more about personal strategy or the well being of an entire nation? Long term thinking prevents democratic votes more than anything.
