(2,553 posts)After a well received suggestion, I thought it better to self delete my original response to this post.
I believe we agree on more things than we disagree about and that's the beauty of our party.
I will only reiterate I respect some of what Schumer has done in the past and for that reason I don't think he needs to leave the Senate but I don't think he's the right person for his leadership position at this time. We need a fighter but his experience would be most welcome as council to a new leader. A better, passionate communicator. His predecessor Harry Reid was the same way and he was an actual fighter. We Democrats have lost too many battles that we should have won including SC nominees. We, as a party can't sustain many more of these losses. The voters following us, the youth are growing frustrated and with good reason. They are most impacted by these new policies. Educational costs through the roof, not to mention the school loans and homeownership out of reach for many. K thru 12 is now on the chopping block. How many rights and privileges that we've taken for granted will they not have?
How can we expect them to follow in our footsteps and grow the party. We need to fight and inspire and we under Schumer's leadership are doing neither.
Peace, everybody.
