(151,219 posts)This is not about Schumer. It is not about discussing things. It is about Democrats supporting Democrats more than we support members of the other party. It is about keeping the party together so that we might be able to regain power in the federal government. It is about taking on the other side and holding them to account.
I have nothing to do with hiding posts. I do not even alert on posts that attack me, personally. Instead, I reply to those.
Frankly, we are in the battle of our lives right now. What the Republican party has turned into is frightening. There are enormous risks right now that could destroy the very fabric of our nation.
So, stick around. Discuss whatever you think needs discussing. But, be aware that there are others here for whom the danger from the right way overpowers any possible dangers from our own side. If we do not stick together and act together, we're going to lose.
This is not about Schumer. He has been elected and re-elected many times by his constituents in New York state. He has risen to leadership in the Senate. He recently made an unpopular move with some Democrats. But, he has a long history that has gotten him into leadership. That history is well-known by many of us, but maybe less known than it should be by some. You can read it all at the link below:

DU is not made up of people who all have exactly the same point of view. But, we all share the important principles. Stick around. Don't go away. If anything, participate more, not less.
