All we want is a bit of courage - maybe the Dems could take note.
Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:
“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Yet, not a single one has been spent lowering costs or protecting health care.
Instead, Republicans created a health care crisis, shut down the government and went on vacation for 7 weeks.

Schumer is an example of failed leadership and an out of touch politician. The Democratic Leadership in general does not get to take a victory lap - all of this momentum is in spite of them, not because of them.
New statement from Chuck Schumer:
“Despite not doing anything useful, and in fact being actively harmful to the process in a number of ways, I am here to take credit for other people’s hard work and risks.”

New statement from Chuck Schumer: "Tonight’s results are a repudiation of the Trump agenda. The cruelty, chaos, and greed that define MAGA radicalism and are skyrocketing costs were firmly rejected by the American people." Calls it "a good night for Democrats and our fight to lower costs."

What I love is that the wins are big - no room for question. Also, no thanks to Democratic Party Leadership (or lack there of). Mamdani, Sherrill, Spanberger all proved that talking to people, knocking on doors, and having a message of making people's lives better matters.
