If you are happy with the job that Schumer is doing, if you are eagerly looking forward to voting in primaries for conventional democrats next year and in 28, please wake the F up. We need to try a different kind of candidate and we need the party to look and feel different very very quickly. And no I don't mean we need to shift to the center.

and whether the state allows only party registered voters to vote in primaries, I bet a lot of Dems have switched to Independent. My partner has, simply to cut down on junk mail during election season.
