Defaulting to simplistic whining is obtuse. Fifteen minutes out of the last 8 months? Big whoop. YOU are a voice that could tell the story daily if you would. Rely on Ariella if you need info. We all see the BREADTH of the resistance. It's no longer business as usual. All hands are ON deck.
All hands are definitely NOT on deck. Happy only on Ariella for info but I actually do tell the story daily of people who are doing the work. Congressional leadership and the DNC are not.
You, a few others are the last hope we have to get the truth out about the breadth of resistance from all sides. Defaulting to your critique is business as usual for poor media. We are asking you to be our champion of truth telling. Stress the positive that is reflected in massive Dem wins. YOU can!
Ariella just showed you are incorrect. They ARE doing the work because the MOVEMENT is not like anything ever seen before. And they're rising to the challenge. Relying on two people is a fool's errand, a default to 'business as usual' when it's NOT usual. Be the scribe of the change not the past.
They are NOT our "leaders" POLITICALLY. They are our LEGISLATORS. They give press conferences - media ignores them. Been true since Obama. I got daily press briefings that NEVER showed up on TV or in print. You have a position that can highlight ALL the voices. We aren't looking for just 2. YOU are.
At this point, shitting on Schumer & Jeffries for doing the only damned thing a legislator can do, has been turned into a profit center. And as a Black person, I see anyone claiming progressive politics but doing this shit, as someone working against progress.
I think people want to see a public face of urgency. It’s not just being a legislator, it’s carrying a message and being fierce against the enemy in doing so, although I do think the complaints get rote and overdone.
They are fighting the good fight. Schumer stopped the shutdown KNOWING it would give Trump free rein to kill EVERYTHING including courts and not reopen Congress. Stopped HUGE policy dangers in BBB (aka BUB) that prevented Trump from having "Congressional OK" for his evil. THAT is outstanding.
That’s not what he does. At all. What you are doing is what’s simplistic, reducing his whole body of work to “whining.” Thats silly
If his focus is mostly on what's not working, then it's misfocus. Especially since he knows there's not much else to do that isn't citizen led. Have you seen a segment on how quiet unions are right now? No. Everything is on Schumer & Jeffries.
They are the leaders. Of course that’s where focus lies. It’s okay for people not be satisfied. And he’s done many segments on what’s working. This idea that there’s no room for criticism or disagreement is silly.
They aren't your leaders. Your focus on them isn't useful. It isn't ok to not be satisfied when you're not clear on what they can do. You're a fan, cool. I'm not. That's all and we're done.
Schumer and Jeffries aren’t our leaders? Lol
