Can’t break with Party Leader, even when it’s ridiculous
Because the moderates. „If you cater to the progressives you lose the moderates“ has become the rallying cry and eternal threat of those petulant children.
Because we insist on bringing the best casserole to a gun fight.
Current democrats are weak and unpopular. This is THE opportunity for progressives and the anti-establishment to launch a tea party like movement. Failure to pretty much secures corporate centrist control
I just looked. Chuck Schumer is up for reelection in 2029.
We’ll have to put pressure on other Senate Democrats to remove Schumer. I want the press to ask him did him know many voters want him to be removed from leadership in the senate.
But again, the other thing you have to keep in mind is this is also class struggle. They’re trying to keep maga from winning but also the progressives down because their absolute worst must not happen scenario is that we finally manage to elect people who will fix the economy so it isn’t just a safe haven for the ultra rich
More details from [another site](https://prospect.org/2025/11/11/one-weird-trick-to-get-rid-of-chuck-schumer/):
>Under the Rules for the Democratic Conference, members can make rule amendments by submitting proposals directly to the conference for consideration, with one week of notice, Schuman said.
>The language comes toward the bottom of the rules in Section 14, which is titled “Committee on Conference Rules,” referring to an internal committee of senators who set the standards for the Democratic caucus. It states that committee members, whose names are not made public, will review the rules each Congress, “and may recommend changes to the Rules as the need arises.”
>It also states that “Individual Members of the Conference may bring proposed changes in the Rules to the Committee on Conference Rules or directly to the Conference for its consideration, providing Members of the Conference with the text of the proposed changes to the Conference Rules at least one week before Conference consideration. In either instance, the Members proposing the changes shall retain sole discretion on the wording of such changes.”
>What this means is that any member of the Senate Democratic caucus can bring a challenge to Schumer’s continued leadership up for a vote. They would only need a majority of the caucus, or 24 of the 47 members, in order for the vote to succeed.
Because this was orchestrated from the beginning. They got people mad enough to vote last Tuesday and then quickly moved on with the budget so they can campaign on healthcare next year for the midterms. Commercials are already playing. They chose 8 senators that aren’t up for reelction until after the midterms.
The idea that any of them care about anything beyond saving their own hide is laughable these days.
Money, money, and money. Don’t forget about money and money.
because they agree with him and fucking hate you
Because they lack a spine and a conscience?
Corpos be simpin for big corpo. What else is new.
The real question is why aren’t the republicans demanding treasonous trump step down
The last Senate Democrat I felt had a spine in any way and was willing to stand on principle was Al Franken. You saw what his party did to him.
I called my senators yesterday and begged them to relieve this fucking puppet of his leadership role. I urge everyone to do the same.
Some might listen if enough constituents do this. Might.
The current system keeps everyone, who should say something, paid very well and loaded with inside information they can use to make even more money while they are still in the “club”.
American politics are a fuckin’ joke. It’s beyond embarrassing. I don’t know why we don’t just hang a sign on the capitol building that has the prices listed for passing legislation.
Because they’re all part of the same club.
And you ain’t in it.
Because we never vote them out. Why should they listen….
VOTE THEM ALL OUT. ALL OF THEM.
From now on when i get an email asking for donations (which i get constantly) I’m going to let them know i’m no longer contributing with the current leadership.
Because they have no fight
Let this be a reminder to all Democrats, when they go low, we cave. Schumer probably.
Because it’s all a grift snd they are all in on it. That’s the reason. These dicks get lifetime jobs lifetime healthcare and lifetime benefits that 90% of the rest of us don’t get. They can also trade stocks with no restrictions that they get to approve or disapprove and make millions. Why Would any of them give that up?
They still don’t know how to fight for us. They need to learn and learn fast.
I emailed my senators and said I’m done donating and voting for democrats until Schumer is replaced. This is my final straw. I will not fight fascism alongside democrats as long as Schumer is in a position of leadership. I will not be part of the controlled opposition.
Just curious, who do people want to replace him with as Senate Minority Leader?
Party politics over constituents as always.
