Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer is postponing several planned events this week to promote his new book after some liberal groups had planned to stage protests.
NOTHING he’s done up to this point will be remembered.
He will be remembered for this. This is it. This is his signature moment. I’m gonna gloat and make fun of him for that when I call and yell at him again tomorrow.
I dont think that this is a refutation of the two party system at all. I think this is a rebalancing of the system in likes to the tea party surge of the kid 2000s.
It isnt a rebuttal. Its a response. as much as the democratic party hates it, it still is well within the status quo and thats why schumer will hang his arms on the cross so to speak. Hes the willing and able party pariah. It is manufactured.
And thats why im worried it isnt enough.
Its why im angry still.
The two party system will always fail. The problem is, Durverger’s Law.
As long as the US uses Ordinal voting systems, we will never have a viable third party. Worse, any attempt to create a third party will only siphon votes away from its ideological neighbor, resulting in the ideological opposite gaining an easy win.
There’s a reason why Jill Stein had that dinner with Putin.
This dude has fucked his political career and I couldn’t be happier.
The two party system has clearly failed. It’s allowed zero pushback to Trump in the GOP and it’s made cowards of the Democrats.
I would hope that the destruction of democracy in of itself would educate these people but I highly doubt they’ll ever learn.

Are they still rich? Nothing learned, then.
