Totally here for this skewering of Schumer. Dem leadership is awful and old. If you add up Chuck, Nancy, and Steny's ages and subtract from now we would be back in the 1790s or some shit.

Also, as a native of Colorado and a resident of the state Hick has always been a joke. Hes a relic of when the state was still deep red and only in that light could be seen as a democrat. Gardner is toast but Hick is bad and id like to see him not be Gardners opponent.

sorry, are you arguing that Chuck Schumer would rather have a majority of socialists than a minority of right-wing Democrats? because I don't buy it. a majority of socialists would be agitating for change that the Democratic donor base would oppose. it's much easier for Schumer to hang out in a minority, look like he's fighting the good fight while avoiding any sort of move to redistribute wealth to the people. the fact that (as you point out) he's terrible at even just doing that is hilarious.
