In reply to the discussion: We Are Following Chuck Schumer's Plan To Defeat Republicans [View all]Kid Berwyn
(23,202 posts)46. Sorry, did not mean to sideshow.
I understand your points. Chuck Schumer was right beside Nancy Pelosi, defending Democracy as the mob stormed the Capitol.
My point is that the Democratic leadership, historically, is two or three decades behind the times the NAZIGOPMAGA play in.
Another case in point: When the 9/11 attacks happened, VP Cheney initiated the Continuity In Government protocols, ordering the evacuation of federal leadship to secure, undisclosed locations. Not one Democrat, including Senate Majority Leader, Tom Daschle, (D-SD) was included in the evacuation.
The NAZIGOPMAGA have done all they can since to divide us. In the process, they have accumulated unimaginable wealth and power. We must fight on OUR terms. All we got is the Truth and We the People.

I believe Schumer is more responsible for the sabotage of Franken than even Gillibrand.

That story makes it clear that Democrats didn't vote for the CR, so no, Democrats did not pass the CR.

Did you go to any of the People's Town Halls organized by the DNC and held in red congressional districts ?

The hairsplitters and nitpickers of today would not have been happy with that either.

Did you read my post? It's not blaming you at all. It's pointing out how the OP is fact free and evidence-free wrong.

Awesome historical context! On this point we now agree: "Of course, we didn't know any of that until decades later...."

Our elected Democratic representatives need to really step up to the plate. Only a few have been.

To read your post is to wonder how Schumer ever got to be Majority Leader of the Senate.

I understand that town halls happened, many were organized by numerous Democratic organizations.

Yes. I observed the failed tactics of Schumer and Jeffries, from the beginning.
