(5,217 posts)has very little real power now. I understand that a big reason that they have so little power is because of the reich-wing narrative that "both sides are the same". I understand that it is difficult to be the adults in the room when the other side cheats and lies like psychopathic six year olds. I understand that Democratic politicians have their own donors that they have to please if they want money for their future campaigns. I understand that many of these donors have very little commitment to the planks of the Democratic platform, but simply donate to both sides to maintain their own control.
I get all that. But what I'm so disappointed with Leader Schumer for is that he refused to support the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor. In the primary support who you want. But in the general election if the leader of the party refuses to vote for, or even votes against, the Democratic nominee, that is strong cause for me to be disappointed.
