Dump Chuck and find a minority leader for the Democrats who can lead the party into an effective resistance to the chaos and stupidity of the Trump administration.
Resistance is futile. What we need are better policies and candidates for the future.
Nope. We also need people who can elaborate and REPRESENT now. As well as in the future.

A shutdown would have awarded the Dems zero points and gotten them no leverage. Let the GOP burn the country down and immolate themselves. Dems should stop saving people from their stupidity and give it to them. The peoel voted for this, now let them have it. If they get disruptions to science, uncontrollable measles and cuts to their social security so billionaires can have tax breaks, oh well. Give it to em.
While that in theory would be a great way to let them "get what they voted for," there are real consequences about to be realized. People are needlessly losing jobs and this area is about to have it's economy decimated if Trump and Musk lose all guardrails.

Well. As you seem to know everything whom do you recommend?
Chris Murphy of Connecticut has been articulate on what Democrats need to do to counter Trump. And at age 50-he’s an entirely different generation from Schumer and Trump
