Bernie has been the beacon of hope, action and change that we deserve.
He’s a leader and progressive flag bearer and we’d be lost without him.
Yes Bernie! Thank you.
It’s sounding more and more like our best strategy is to advocate to replace Schumer with Chris Van Hollen as leader.
If you have Democratic senators, you can sign the below petition and it will be sent to them as a letter/email from you:

Sanders, a former presidential candidate and leader of progressives in the Senate, said Schumer had not been doing enough to end income and wealth inequality in explaining his opposition.
“I don’t want to get into specific proposals, but I think the time and the moment when you have more income and wealth inequality than we’ve ever had in the history of this country, when our younger generation will have a lower standard of living than their parents, the time is now to deal with the need to create an economy that works for all, not just the people on top,” Sanders said in response to a question about Schumer.
I'll just put it out there, that it was the Chuck Schumer who, as the leader of the DSCC in 2006 endorsed Bernie Sanders and helped ensure no other Democrat challenger would appear on the ballot to split his vote. So Schumer hasn't really been outwardly anti-Sanders over the decades they knew each other since his time in Brooklyn.
I still think that at present he stands to just rot in the Senate leader's chair ala Mitch McConnell, and this moment calls for change and a movement away from the age-old familiar practices in order to meet it.
Slotkin? The MI Slotkin? Are we sure? /s
That seems pretty hype tbh. Wouldn't have guessed she would be one of the centrists to change her mind
