Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s bid to continue leading the Democratic Party when it takes control of the US Senate in January continued to falter Monday night as a key machinists’ union asked the New York senator to step aside and allow “a new generation to lead Senate Democrats.” In a letter, Brian Bryant, international president of the International Association of Machinists and…

Holy shit.

Odds are a lot of us may have new reps and senators.

YOU BETTER BE CALLING EMAILING SOMETHING

If Schumer and Jeffries retain leadership positions I’m done with voting. I’ve been voting Dem all my life and conceding to vote blue no matter who to disastrous effects of cupping corpo dems balls and inadvertently participating in starving children and let a para military government group run around and rap and kill as everyone starves. If we elect them that’s the last straw and this country will never have my vote again. What is the fucking point if you vote for one side that promises change and then just sucks facist dick or just sucking facist dicks yourself. If they become the leaders it’s a big ol fuck you we don’t care about your vote or the midterms and I’ve been doing this for 30+ fucking years and I’m fucking sick of these people.

Reform doesnt work, just ask Rosa Luxembourg.

Please elborate.

Not to comment on your conclusions at all, as we are all on our own journeys. However, if you'd like to explore this concept further I'd highly recommend reading Muammar Gaddafi's Green Book. I don't recommend the book because of who Muammar Gaddafi was as a person mind you, but because the book illustrates the many fallacies of the most popular form of so-called democracy found in the western world. It's not very long, and the language is rather easy to understand relative to most political texts.

Interesting. I’m not sure I could take Gaddafi seriously. Nor do I have any desire to read anything he has written. Could you give me some of the talking points? I know that all sounds a bit rude but I am currently stuck in the middle of Infinite Jest and it’s going to be a long time before I finish that book and then next up is a book about how Grant fought for reconstruction and the U.S. ultimately fucked up real hard on that which set the stage for all the bullshit and basically one party system we have in our government. I would rather hear your thoughts on what Gadddfi has to say as opposed to reading his work. Sorry if that sounds rude!

Edit: or just downvote me I guess. Also I’m pretty sure the most popular form of democracy in the west is parliamentary democracy.

I hope it was a strongly-worded letter. I hear those are Schumer's favorite.

He asked the Baileys, the imaginary republican family that lives in his head. They said it would be just fine if he were to continue in his role. As republicans, they don't want competent leadership from dems.

Like Schumer is going to listen to the little people over Israel.
