But a position of leadership requires someone willing to ... you know ... lead.

The House held the line and voted against the CR and then Schumer kneecapped them and voted for it.

Everyone knows Schumer's strategy, he said it on live TV to Chris Hayes. Schumer proclaimed that he wants Krasnov to burn it all down and then Democrats can win the next election. Bernie Sanders and AOC are doing the opposite of Schumer, they are trying to put the fires out.

generation of leaders (Muphy, Booker) willing to lead the fight
against the Trump dictatorship crisis"
"I will remain on as NY senator until 2026, then I will retire".

That scenario would be best..

And keep leading the senate.

This isn't the time for the milquetoast and the timid, and "go along to get along". I continue to hear Democrats say "where we can agree with the president, we'll work with him". WTF???

And Schumer isn't throwing sand in the gears; he's writing "strong letters". And "100 Days of Hell"? How about the more accurate and believable "100 Days of Chaos and Failure"? I get that the leaders are supposed to come across as more level headed and dispassionate, but, in my opinion, that doesn't meet the moment when you've called out the president as a budding authoritarian.

Just my two cents.

...but Schumer has the profile.

consider retirement.

Enough of the Democrats 40+ years of trying out-right-wing the right and move left back toward FDR with younger candidates.

but Biden was more liberal than Bill Clinton and Obama in his governing so we are likely to see a return of Clinton and Obama types. They may be young and attractive and charismatic like Clinton and Obama were but they are not going to govern as liberal as Biden.

Then they may not attract voters.

Try as you may, Conservatism doesn't work, nor does shifting to the right.

But Biden was more left than Clinton and Obama send he got less support than them.

And I'll die on this hill.
