I only met her once, and it was when she was running for the Senate for the first time. I was thinking MAN, do I hope she gets in!

I am fairly convinced she was Joe Biden's first choice for VP, too. She deserves as high a post as Schumer can put her in.

"Shakeup"! I thought Democrats were actually going to start listening to and elevating the profile of the progressive wing.


Never mind. Carry on

The top leadership in both parties reminds me of the photos of the Soviet-era Politburo. People who think and act as if it was 1950’s and 60’s, too far from the real lives of everyday Russian society.

We have the same problem; we just won’t admit it.

Gens X, Y, and Z who have needs and demands, are politically ignored. You can’t run a country like this as it will lead to conflict.

I think this move is a good thing. And I’m saying this as a Boomer!
