Any pundit or reporter who is attempting to frame this anger at Sen. Schumer as a generational thing is completely missing the point. Democratic voters, regardless of age, are united in our anger at the lack of common sense leadership. This isn't about age. We all want our leaders to fight back.

In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry.
