    Senator Andy Kim countered accusations that the Democratic party is divided, saying “this is the most united I’ve ever seen the Senate Democrats,”

    That’s not a counter. Just because this is the most united he’s seen the Democratic party does not mean that it is united. Divided is the natural state of Democrats. It the words of Will Rogers, “I’m not a member of any organized political party…. I’m a Democrat.”

    Objectively fucking hilarious.

    This man has been responsible for stomping down the voices who seek to replace him. AOC, Mamdani, Ossof, Platner…keep naming them.

    He is no different than Schumer. Fuck both of you.

      Yeah that was all practice for his upcoming imminent presidential bid.

      Don’t worry he’ll do the same thing to the people that came before him too.

    “Americans want a new generation of leaders that show that they can lift the whole country up,” Booker added. “It is time for a new vision of our country that is far more uniting that brings people together, doesn’t deepen divides.”

    And I want to see the Epstein class in a supermax prison. You know, let them see the kind of prison system they advocate for first hand.

      This is peak, “we need to move forward and not dwell on the past” chud rhetoric. What America needs is accountability and hostility to the right.

        He desperately wants to be the Obama redux who shows he’s the bigger man by just forgiving all the crimes of his opponents. He dreams of an America where a black Muslim immigrant can share a Pepsi with the tatted up ICE agent in army surplus sent to deport his family.

      I want to see them literally in a supermax prison.

      As in, structural components of the walls.

      Toss em into the framing, who cares if they get impaled on the rebar, pour the concrete.

      Better idea, don’t do that with a prison, just make a new monument or something, the shame cube.

        I like it, but bones don’t have the best structural integrity. Maybe they can be encased in concrete sculptures on the roof?

    They need to come up with new and innovative ways to dump their entire base in favor of the mythical moderate center.

    Yep, we all agree, he needs to be replaced or taken out of the leadership position. We will not forget that he and schumer voted to end the shut down we were winning for no reason that I can see.

    “‘I’ve called for a generational renewal, because this left-right divide is killing our country and our adversaries know it.’ He also said that ‘purity tests’ within the party have led to more division in the US.”

    yeah this is kind of the opposite issue of what anyone competent would want to address with chuck schumer

      These democrats think the problem is aversion to genocide and not blindly supporting the party. They would rather compromise with the Nazis, than challenge them from a leftist perspective:

      Its also just complete horseshit.

      Anybody remeber how David Hogg was actually trying to do this, 9 months ago, earlier than that?

      And… basically 0 large parts of the Dem fundraising apparatus got involved in any way?

      And… because Hogg tried to do this… he got ousted from his position in the party?

      You uh, you coulda said something at that point, Cory.

      Flamethrowers for the ratfuckers, thats how they clean em up in the sewers of NYC, I hear.

    Schumer’s preference for centrist candidates

    That is code for zionist first candidates. His extreme loyalty to Israel is disqualifying.
