The progressive group Indivisible called for Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday to replace Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) as Democratic leader after the party secured control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday’s midterm elections.
“Yesterday, voters made it very clear that they want a new generation of Democratic fighters,” the group wrote in a social media post. “We need a leader in the Senate who is capable of leading that fight. It’s time for Senate Democrats to choose new leadership.”
The group cited the Democratic leader’s faltering approval ratings in its Wednesday statement. An NBC News poll conducted at the end of October found only 13 percent of registered voters viewed Schumer’s leadership positively.
“The American people did not elect Democrats by historic margins just to bend the knee and go back to business as usual,” Indivisible said in its statement. “Senate Democrats need to listen to the voters and turn the page on status quo politics.”
The paid opposition running the Democrats will not falter in their supporting of their Republican donors’ causes.
Wtf
He was a bad candidate, and the DSA is being smart about putting forward quality candidates.
A weak DSA Dem won’t achieve anything but making the DSA wing of party look bad. They’ll give the old guard something to point at as an example of why DSA is bad for the party and make things even harder.
That’s not a poem
