Amusing that you think I'm blind. Neither El-Sayed nor any of the new progressives can effectively be Speaker because they have not been in the Senate. You have to have spent at least some amount of time in the chamber to do the job. It's not for beginners, and I never said it was.

And I also note that you have entirely ignored -- again -- the most salient points of all, which are the reasons WHY Schumer should not continue as Senate leader.

In the new Senate there are 57 Democratic senators, plus or minus, to choose from, along with an absolute wealth of collected wisdom there to help whoever is chosen, and the plain fact of the matter is that people get replaced all the time. Even politicians. And the world goes on, for better or for worse.

But it WILL NOT be Schumer if we are to have change.

From earlier this year:

“I have many jobs as [Senate] leader... and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs,” Schumer said

“I will continue to fight for it,” Schumer continued. “We delivered more security assistance to Israel, our ally, than ever, ever before.”

The US now has $40 TRILLION in debt and this motherfucker wants to continue to bleed us dry.

Tell you what. YOU, personally, can whip out your wallet, scrape everything you have out of it, send it to some Israeli defense fund, and rest easy in the knowledge that your own cash will be used to fund genocide.

I want no part of it. Stop coming at me with your willfully ignorant bullshit.
