    Use your bully pulpit to inspire and organize your constituents. Crack the whip as party leader to forbid DINOs from undermining party solidarity. Support upcoming progressives around the country with party financing, media favors, and vocal promotion instead of undermining and ignoring them. I could go on, there is so much shit Schumer could be doing, things a competent and supportive leader would be doing. His lack of performance comes not from his minority party position but from the things he could but is literally not doing. This isn’t about inability, it’s about intentional ineptitude.

      Yeah I’ll give you that, the Democratic party has done everything in its power to undermine progressives and to appeal to Republicans, a strategy that has definitely led to voter apathy.
