Despite his “no” vote, the Senate deal to reopen the government bears Schumer’s fingerprints
Either Schumer no longer has effective control over own his caucus, or he has permitted the deal to progress with a wink and a nod behind the scenes — and with a strident disavowal for the bank of cameras he famously loves — while taking Democratic voters for fools.
Organize at the grassroots level to retake the Democratic party. People sorely underestimate the work and time involved in raising a new party from scratch. We already have an apparatus and, for about half of voters, a recognizable and somewhat trustworthy brand, although tarnished these last couple decades. Kick Schumer out. Alienate all the establishment assholes. Brutally reject the cowards and the bribetakers. Let the sun shine in so the healing can begin.
