Not replace the party. Replace the people running it. They clearly have no idea what they're doing

It requires the same process. And we are OUT OF TIME. Our efforts must be to pressure the people who are there to listen to us. MASSIVE PRESSURE. From EVERYONE.

If we are "out of time" then it would matter and we can replace the old guard of democrats who refuse to change and to put in new blood. Congressional Dems have worse polling than Trump and it's obviously from the last 8 years that their plans don't work. Grow up and get ready for change.

How? How do you "replace"? I'm being serious. Tell me what that looks like in this environment.

You elect people that will replace people like Schumer in their seats. It's not that complicated. It's time to elect people that have more forward thinking than the current party.

You think someone can snap their fingers and there's an election? Do you understand that it would require a special election, and coordination, and money, and actual candidates who want to run a campaign?

Where in my comment did I say that there was going to be a special election?? This is something that will have to be done during the midterms. Until then, we need to criticize every single one of them for every single thing that they do every single day until then.

Further, midterms would not replace Schumer, who isn't up for reelection until 2028.

Figured that was insinuated but I guess not. You're right, Schumer isn't up until 2028, but anybody who has supported his decisions or has refused to progress needs to be replaced in the midterms.

There's simply no replacing some of those people until 2028, but I do believe they can be pressured. By US. Every election is a risk of losing the seat to a Republican. We ALL need to get a LOT louder. If their emails and VMs can't handle the volume we must show up at their in district offices.
