Establishment Democrats are rejecting an increasingly popular position by refusing to take a bold stance that happens to be good politics.

    Schumer thinks the kill shot for the republican opposition is to focus on lowering grocery prices (something they honestly have no power or plan to do) while citizens are getting shot in the street.

    I got a newsletter from Gillibrand and she doesn’t even mention ICE, at the time a week after Renee Good was killed.

    They’re not even picking up the ball.

      Those two are con artists. It’s funny you mention Schumer having picking a topic he has no power over because I imagine that his role shtick.

      Haha the Schumer Schtick: con the public by talkng about emotional idioms he has no control over and distract away from real issues he does have control over.

      Schumer is obviously working for team red. Don’t listen to a word he says, just. watch his actions. It’s obvious and indisputable.

      I got a letter from Juan Vargas and they not only misspelled my name, they basically told me that they don’t have any way to actually change anything. I don’t actually know which call they were responding to, I have a tendency to call those cowards once a week.

      Install the app called “5 Calls,” it makes it trivial to contact your representatives and senators. They also provide you with scripts if you need help wording things.
