...FOUGHT ALL OF THEM THROUGH, DESPITE TWO REPUBLICAN FRIENDLY MEMBERS IN HIS SLIM MAJORITY?

Amazing how people are able to successfully sell the notion that already elected Dems are going to vote for someone to lead THEM in their respective chambers who doesn't demonstrate an ability to bring Democrats together at voting time.

That's not going to work by them voting in some ultra-progressive or some ultra conservative Dem. They vote for the center, because that's the makeup of the party that advances progressive legislation in the slim majority voters provided Democrats before whingers convinced Dem voters to stay home because they didn't get their way on something or the other.

We're here hating on Dem leaders like Schumer because he's not able to stop the republicans in power because Dem voters didn't bother to equip Democrats to effectively fight them.

That's not any of our Dem leaders' fault. Should be obvious, but the bullshit performative demands on the Dem minority are from people who don't understand either their role or the rules of Congress which enable a majority and stifle minorities.

They come up with some fanatical projections to demand from our minority, and are essentially demanding that Schumer and other Dem leaders convince THEM to vote against the republicans. It's fucking insanity.
