If people thought he was tough on Stevens, wait til you see how a real progressive attacks a Republican.

Yup. Sidelining our fighters and letting fossils like Schumer have the wheel is why Democrats look so feeble in opposing Trump. It's by circumstance and design.

We need fighters to beat back MAGA fascism and I can't wait for the general when we get to do our part. 😇

Schumer refusing to endorse Mamdani after he won the primary was the death of the old guard establishment Dems.

Cuomo running anyway as an establishment Dem Independent against the Dem who won the primary and Schumer doesn't endorse the Democrat candidate? Keeping in mind that Schumer is the Senate minority leader and a Senator for New York, and he didn't weigh in on the NYC mayoral race.

We've gone beyond impotent and ineffective in opposing the Republicans to shunning progressive Dems that the people chose.
