I call bullshit on that. He didn't personally cast a vote, but you can bet your ass this move emanated from the highest levels of the DNC.

He is the Senate leader, of course it's on him.

Not only that, but I don't think it's a coincidence that they're all either retiring or not up for reelection until 2029.

No way he didn't sign off on this. I wouldn't be too quick to let him off the hook.

He handpicked democrats that they felt were "safe" and arent up for re-election in 2026.

This is classic DNC as controlled opposition. DNC and RNC are the same thing.

Its time for a new progressive party. Its time to go scorched earth and tank every election untill they not only allow progressives in the DNC but actually embrace them. I think its the only way to get reverse citizens united.

Senate Minority Leader Schumer

He’s either complicit in this scheme now that local elections are over, or ineffective at wielding the whip and keeping his caucus in line. Unless there’s a big public schism and this gang of eight get cut out, then he’s also feckless to boot.

I’m talking scorched earth retribution too, there needs to be a message sent and received to all in the party that breaking ranks for self-interest will cost them and their careers personally. Nobody gets to fold without consequence when the rest of your party’s elected members risked themselves and their position.
