63. I'm not a gatekeeper.

People can say what they want about anything. I'm simply saying that when someone outside New York says Schumer should be replaced, it should carry no weight and should be considered potentially offensive and suspect.

It's also how you say it. For example, if someone says Schumer is hurting the Dems overall election win potential (or his opponents are, as I believe), that's legitimate in my view.

If a group of people, none of whom are from New York, decide to agree to agree with each other about what New York should do? Is that a good thing?
