In reply to the discussion: Dems quietly weighing move to oust Schumer as frustrations boil: report [View all]bigtree
(94,178 posts)....people pushing this are going to find out that the problem isn't Schumer, if there is actually a problem with the vast majority of Americans rejecting republicans on every level.
They're going to begin to realize that not only is Schumer a dependable individual vote, he didn't nominate and elect himself leader - and that his role isn't so much to perform for his critics, but to organize and represent the consensus of a diverse membership into unified votes.
None of the people balking from the left, for instance, are likely to be able to gain the confidence of a membership rife with moderates; not even to gain enough of their votes to obtain the leadership, much less coalesce on legislation.
They will just vote in another moderate. We don't make that choice, they do.
People just yell at Schumer and Jeffries because they can't countenance confronting the people who put them in those positions of leadership.
It's a feint, really, pretending there's some different formula that can be achieved by reshuffling the same deck of cards; absurdly, in the middle of the game.
It's ignorance or foolishness or both; but it's a certainty that it's sophistry pretending Schumer is to blame for what the membership or republicans have done, ir that some new leader is going to do more than perform differently, with exactly the same results Schumer would have achieved, and more than likely producijng an inexperienced, unconnected less that the experienced connected pol has done since he presided over ALL Biden's historic legislative accomplishments in the majority.
Remember those? It's as if people can't bring themselves to even mention those accomplishments he presided over in the Senate, fought for and achieved with two turncoats in a slim majority, and it's a weird as hell omission; likely self-serving to this stupidity.
