    Progressives are turning their anger on Schumer over the Kavanaugh confirmation fight — 13 groups out with a letter today telling him to do more to keep his caucus together. Activists occupied his office yesterday toohttp://bit.ly/2NicJyR

        Still nothing they can do. The wankpuffins have the votes. Everything else is just drama. Flip the house and senate, win 2020 (keep the seats) and add the stolen seats to the court. It is all there is.

        Schumer's a unique leader- he has the charisma, but not the skills, and he folds way too quickly in situations like this.

        Less than 20% of young people voted in 2014. Due to that election, there are 9 more Republicans in the Senate today. https://civicyouth.org/2014-youth-turnout-and-youth-registration-rates-lowest-ever-recorded-changes-essential-in-2016/ …

        Maybe those "young people" wanted to vote for a candidate who'll guarantee them healthcare, affordable college, and a job with a decent wage. Or maybe they couldn't vote since they were working two dead-end jobs. Or maybe their boomer parents didn't instill those values in them.

        The rumors are true! I can confirm I am exploring a run against Chuck Schumer in 2022. We're going to replace a man bought by Wall Street with a man of the people. Together we'll create a New York for the many, not the few. More info to come. #Carlo2022 #Carlo4NYSen #ChuckChuck pic.twitter.com/4S980b4A8w

        It will be impossible to keep a Manchin, or a Donnelly, or a Heitkamp or a McCaskill on board to vote No when the vote will not impact the result. They will all hold ONLY if Shumer can get two GOP Senators to vote No.

        Why can't Democrats comprehend that there is nothing more any Democratic Senator can do? Instead of bitching, get people registered to vote.

        boy progressives...want a big "show" now but spent the last election kneecapping their own candidate and spitefully voting third party. The time to "defeat Kavanaugh" was back in 2016, kids. You missed the opportunity.

        He’s not even sure all of the Dems will vote no on Kavanaugh. It’s a miracle @SenSchumer finds his way back home, though he had to shoo in 15 GOP federal judges to get home last time.

        Useless. They insist we vote for them while they sit on their tooshies like deer in headlights because its more important to be polite than to deal with racism, poverty, healthcare, police brutality, national and global violence, sexual abuse, child imprisonment, global warming..

        1. Schumer is too weak to do anything & he won't 2. There are a couple that we all know are likely to vote "for", so maybe people need to harp on them 3. The only real chance is to flip a few republicans
