Manchin couldn't win in PA. Only way he win reelection is by getting republican voting for him - but he has lots of positions republicans hate. Its how Sinema found out she had no path to reelection.

Manchin could only win a primary because it was West Virginia. Sinema couldn't in Arizona. Fetterman wont be able to in Pennsylvania.

By the time we have a democratic majority who is serious about climate - Fetterman wont be in office but senators from meat producing (including feed producing) states will be much worse about this.

Dems are only going to talk about meat once the last coal and natural gas power plant shuts down.

TBF dems didn't have the stomach to fight the shut down to the end ... but Newt actually lost the shutdown fight he tried

This was to protect southern THC production... and I don't begrudge them flipping them off.

Actually my audience is someone living in the 21st century. They are the only ones who can properly appreciate my work in its ideal context

How can you spend so much time doing something and never get better.

I think you are correct but ... if I was them and I was on my way out ... why would he want the head ache of being leader.
Pelosi and McConnell stepped down from leadership.

I think Schumer still thinks he can be majority leader and shape the party going forward. That's the problem
November 11, 2025 at 12:54 AM
I think that speaks to the caucus after Reid ... and that senate democrats got tired of winning if it meant that they could feel individually powerful
November 11, 2025 at 12:50 AM
There are only 8 people who are not united in fighting - they are senators
November 11, 2025 at 12:46 AM
This presupposes that the democratic party is an organized political party .... and I need evidence for this claim

And this is why we have to fund the government and accept the 8 caucus members who agreed to fund the government in return for an empty promise

No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

This is a start ... but does he know they can push put a leader at any time? If he does know that ... and is not actively doing so ... he still fall under the skeet above

Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward
