Shumer needs to start working for the people, not just the pharmaceutical industry.
He needs to address Russia big time. I wonder why he is avoiding that.
He also needs to address the new Jim Crow voter suppression.
I think fear of losing the white vote in parts of America is scary to many white male politicians.
Steny Hoyer, is pushing a similar narrative.
How they want to frame things and where they want to go with it is actually going to hold us back.
Shumer, Hoyer, and even Sanders do not have to international world view that Clinton has-they think small and this is the wrong time to think small.
Georgia is a microcosm of what they fear. Georgia was once solidly Democratic but today, if you are a politically ambitious young white male your best avenue to achieve political office is to run as a Republican.
This will change soon-but it won't change by appeasement on human rights.
It is also no longer possible to ignore the Russian Agenda and win.
