@rbreich Question is how long will Schumer and Jeffries fight their own caucus wanting a change in leadership. At some point democrats have to stand up against their own leadership first to elect new, younger leaders who'll fight than whine standing at podiums. Time is not on democrats side. Schumer has to go now. Jeffries has to go soon.

@rbreich I remember when I had to ask a customer to send their text in a Word file and they sent a Word file with an image inside containing text.

When did it became normal on social media to provide text in an image?

@rbreich Then it's one choice, replace the House/Senate leadership because both parties are drowning in PAC money and have rigged the system. Sad but true.

@rbreich The party is one more electoral screw up from being irrelevant and replaced.

Don't screw up DNC

Aziraphale (angel): The system is broken and must be fixed

I am unfollowing you, Reich. You post this stuff and never respond. And - you know perfectly well how and why the system is rigged: since Citizens United, everyone running for high office in the Benighted States of America has been reduced to prostitution. They'll say anything and deliver on none of it.

@rbreich I'm afraid the only way we're getting that is to let the Democratic party die and start a new progressive, truly left of center party. I don't trust dem leadership not to f# #k it up, especially after what just happened

@rbreich I think "Run For Something" has taken on this project, and that is one of the brightest rays of hope in your messed up political system right now.

I suspect the current Democrat leaders will not live up to our expectations.

It is uncertain whether the new leaders will live up to our expectations. We might have to go through several cycles to find those leaders.

We could build a new democracy by then.

Maybe that threat of a new democracy might convince the Party to govern for the people.

#alttext4you

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system - a party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable, not a party that buckles and capitulates.

If Democratic leaders can't understand this, then they must be replaced with a new generation of voices who do.
