You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Such a great line, and a powerful moment.
Sadly, I know a few guys who identify a little too closely with Amos. They think they're hard when they clearly are not.

It is fascinating the degree to which so many of these folks are belligerent assholes and proud of it.

You're prepared to give a Schumer more credit for strategy than I am, but I'll concede the point.
My assumption has been that a lot of "business as usual" dems are just waiting for things to get back to normal, while they're functionally insulated from the consequences of their inaction.

It's the same here in the US. $2.50 for a glass of flavored sugar-water that costs $.25?
That's just rude, and says more about the illusion of restaurant business than it does about the cost of food.

Old line Dems are holding on to an idea of American democracy that is long dead. Schumer's like every other old guy who can't see that the world is moving on without him, yet he thinks he can steer the world of politics back to something nobody but him wants.

An entire generation hearing "We have to be tough on crime" never once thought "Do we? Is there another way to address this than maximal force?"
I'm glad someone is thinking about different approaches.

I like the part where you think they want to be in touch with the electorate.
They want to be in DC, attending parties with their colleagues and donors after doing lunch with pundits and lobbyists.
Listening to voters isn't what they're into, it's a buzzkill.
