Hell yeah, even if I liked Schumer, his time as minority and majority leader was just kind of a flop. He’s been leader since 2017, a time period that hasn’t been great for the dems or the country, and with this massive surge in popularity under the idea of affordability and the rule of law, we need a leader who didn’t oversee the complete collapse of those things.
I’m not necessarily saying we need a firm progressive leader, I want that in the future, but right now I want a senate leader who has a real stick up their ass about government officials needing to follow the law and who’s opposed to too much money in politics.
Hey so what is it with us in the US and Canada and constantly knee-capping every opinion we have. “I don’t think we need a firm progressive leader, but someone who will be firm about the law applying to everyone equally” like, my guy, that is going to be a firm, progressive leader. You don’t jump on the center-to-right train because you believe in equality first, and you certainly don’t become a high-ranking politician.
Just say it with your chest. It’ll feel good, I promise.
I remember Corporate AIPAC dems raking Sanders over the coals in 2016 for his time in government and accomplishments, but Schumer is approaching half a century in elected offices and really has shit to show for it save for revealing FEC reports with AIPAC and Private Equity all over.
At least Sanders was the Amendment King and actually pushed for a consistent vision through persuasion.
