If a primary is close maybe I will, I will vote in the Nov elections, and I will be a Dem to vote for any primary opponent if the NJ senators go along with this fiasco in 2026. I'd rather be an Independent. I want them to see themselves lose registered voters. They deserve it.
Schumer hasn't been fit to lead the Dems for years, and most of the Dem leadership hasn't been fit for years either.
As I recall you are in NJ. Assuming what Booker and Kim said stands all your congresspeople will have voted against including the Senators voting against cloture.
That said I would encourage them to get rid of Schumer as leader because this was an absolute fucking debacle.
Schumer somehow managed to pick the worst way to handle this situation.When god damned Susan Rice thinks you are fucking up the anger isn’t just from the left flank, it’s from the deep middle core of the party.

Chuck is the ultimate institutionalist which means he has no clue what to do when the institutions have collapsed. Dude needs to go.I just tried to listen to a clip on Bluesky that had Chucky respond to a good question, and I had to turn it off. I have never punched a display in my life, but I got close. I also do not watch Trump speak or any of the worst republicans for the same reason.
He's so fucking dumb and feckless, or maybe he is a Russian plant too. I mean he has helped get us here too.
What about this CR has the Republicans not in support in the Senate?
The current version of the filibuster has to go. Go back to the original version of people having to talk for hours on end until they couldn't anymore. It was a last ditch attempt to see if some minds could be changed not a never ending procedural block.I personally think the filibuster is gonna be toast. Either Republicans never let go of power and it's pure gravy or in some shocking twist there's still an election in 2028, Dems win, AND Vance certifies it (lol) then even in that instance it's not like the Dems would ever benefit from a lack of a filibuster as much as the GoP would. The GoP always moves at lightning speed to implement their agenda and don't care if their base approves. Dems by contrast are afraid of their own shadow and don't do much of anything when they have power, often triping over the very first procedural hurdle that the GoP just walks over. The political calculation for the GoP now is to just go for broke and grab whatever goodies they want, knowing full well they'll never pay a price for it.

I've got it: AOC and Tim Walz in 2028. A dream ticket. (For the Republicans)That's because you have no idea what you are talking about.
