Considering Schumer was on television today waxing poetic about how he wants to have a "serious negotiation" with Republicans, once again signaling he's willing to sacrifice everything for nothing, I'm 99% certain they'll puss out yet again, giving these fascists everything they want.
How do we stop people from voting for Schumer and instead pick a candidate that supports the working class?
Hopefully they can't successfully sink Mamdani, and establishment Dems finally realize which way the wind is blowing and stop lurching further and further right to appease their corporate masters
I think they do realize it, and are more beholden to corporations and very wealthy donors than to the majority of their constituents.
Donate and vote for progressives in the primaries and make damn sure you vote in every single election and call your representative and be a thorn in their side.
