Schumer and Jeffries insist that they’re powerless: the same refrain the Democras make year in and year out, equally when they’re in the majority.
Jake Johnson at Common Dreams quotes progressive organizer Aaron Regunberg. “‘Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump’s fascism to arise and succeed.” The Democratic Establishment engineered two defeats against Trump via their efusal to insist that Democrats be Democrats, and now the shit has hit the fan.
When the Republicans lost everything in 2008, did they whimper that they were helpless?
Schumer and Jeffries should have resigned their leadership positions after the last election, given the disastrous non-campaigns they waged. It is only constituent pressure that has now forced them to get off their duff, and apparently they’re sore about it. We’re not having any of it. They can get ready to be sore for the foreseeable future.
