When you see a PAC that's only focused on attacking Democrats and you note a clear upward pattern on Google trends for the word AIPAC.

AIPAC has been weaponized toward leftists the same way Soros was weaponized toward MAGA.

We _know_ who is targeted by voter suppression: not the White people voting GOP.

"Representatives from the whitest districts [and higher scores of racial bias] in the most racially diverse states were the most likely to sponsor anti-voter bills."

Voters need to figure out which party helps & which party harms.

Looks to me that it's the (White) voters who keep enabling & empowering the GOP, then turn around & blame the Dems when they fail to deliver because they are in the outnumbered minority.

Occam's razor. No conspiracies needed.

That must be why, when Dems get even a thin majority, they pass legislation to help... the American people.

Dark money must have really wanted investments in Head Start, homelessness, & Medicaid Expansion. It's weird that the even more beholdened GOP don't even bother to help. They harm.

What's holding the Dems back is being a minority party & not having enough numbers to set policy & oppose the GOP.

In your magical, removed from math-based reality, a different *Minority* Leader would somehow overcome that. We need more chairs but you just want to focus on redecorating.

It is curious that she's neither showing fear nor seeking favor.

FWIW, she is independently wealthy (estimated net worth 25 million).

Just admit you're perfectly fine with having the GOP in power. That's essentially where your stance will lead. All that anger towards Dems means the GOP keep their power. This is exactly the outcome those so called oligarchs want to see: being angry towards Dems instead of the cruel&corrupt GOP.

I was aware last Nov & voted accordingly. It's not defeatist to accept the reality & limitations of a minority party. My concern is how negative Dem sentiments can cause voter depression & disengagement before the midterms & w/ people focused on primaries rather than making sure Dems win over GOP.

It's not enough to stand for things when one doesn't have the power to see it through. I want Dems to have a majority so they have the power to make/set policy. One can have the most progressive Dems but if they remain a minority, none of their ideas will become a reality. Words aren't enough.

Whoever is minority leader will get the heat & attacks that Schumer is facing (sans the antisemitism). Fetterman is essentially functioning as a GOP so Dems are left with only 44. They have no power & no leverage & it'll remain that way until the Midterms, when I hope people choose Dems over the GOP

Who are these voters that make demands of Dems but don't bother to give Dems a majority? If voters expect Dems to do something, they must first vote to ensure Dems get a majority. A minority Dem don't have the numbers & power to set policy. These are hard facts that people still can't seem accept.

There are a lot of center libs out there who say, hey, if people voted more like Black women, we wouldn't be here. And yet, we're back to blaming Dems for what majority White people voted for. There is no magic eraser to undo the 2024 election. The minority Dems don't have power to set policy.

You know who posts his personal finance disclosure directly on his website? Chuck Schumer. AFAIK, he's the only one to do so, likely to counter these types of accusations.

One can be disappointed w/ some Dem senators but the bad faith accusations is on people who need #VoterEd. majority > minority

I'm still in search of a good recipe for Nashville type fried chicken. I see fried chicken wings in the near future.

If Democratic voters (including centrists, liberals, progressives, and even some leftists) had stuck by Democrats in 2010 and 2014, the ACA would be a lot stronger now. If they had shown up for Dems in 2016, we wouldn't be here at all and women would still have reproductive rights. But no.

Seriously, the ACA that everyone is so INSISTENT must be maintained, enhanced, and expanded... are some of the same jackasses that failed to vote in 2010 and 2014 after its passage as "punishment" for it not going far enough, handing Congress to the GOP, who have attacked it non-stop.

Changing the Minority Leader of a minority party is like changing chair arrangements. Doesn't change the fact that the GOP hold power.

I am curious who would be masochistic enough to take Schumer's place. High responsibility, low reward.
