"SNIP.............


The New York senator said the new Democratic agenda, set to be unveiled on Monday, would include proposals to "just go after these drug companies when they raise prices so egregiously and people can't afford these drugs" and a plan to "change the way companies can merge," mentioning the cable, airline and gas industries.

"How the heck did we let Exxon and Mobil merge?" he said. "And that was Democrats."

Democrats have searched for a new message since their loss to President Donald Trump in November, with public polling showing that most people don't know what Democrats stand for beyond opposition to the unpopular president. The left wing of the party, including many followers of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, has pushed for the party to adopt a more populist economic message, including single-payer health care.

Asked if single-payer was on the table, Schumer responded: "Sure."

"Many things are on the table. Medicare for people above 55 is on the table. A buy-in to Medicare is on the table. A buy-in to Medicaid is on the table," he said.

1. Ok, this is something I don't get.

What is with the self-flagellating bullshit?

We have a candidate, apparently perpetual, running for state House (who can't win judging by three lost races so far). A "Berniecrat!1!" of but on the board of local Dems too! lol She's big on this self-flagellation. Dems this, Dems that. Oh and a big one, "we're all racists and we need to admit it and really think about changing that". Constant drumbeat of we're wrong, we're bad, let's dialogue with racists Trumpets (but not each other).

At one point I too issue with her constant drum beat of negative Dem bullshit and she lost it. Hysterical, screaming COME AT ME!! lol I just can't take this shit too seriously. IT's like Schumer is catering to that tiny wedge?? omg too many lolz and a little urge to puke

2. He calls other namby pappy then dons his hair shirt

and gives himself over to self-flagellation.

Schumer is embarrassing the party.

5. Like in 1% "partly", mostly GOP cheating ... anything else seems to be trolling at this point lookin

... at the facts that are not in dispute.
