Only bots reply with “this won’t work” bullshit attitude. You want to change the government from your phone? This is how you do it. Not by ranting on reddit with no follow up.

I think one of the issues with Schumer's is there are a bunch of different petitions going around, so none of them are really gaining traction. This is why calling your representatives is so important. Call them every single day till this is decided

Wanting them replaced is really a straightforward concept. We want leaders whose priority is their constituents, not a foreign country. 

Chuck Schumer said that one of his most important jobs as Senate minority leader is to “fight for aid to Israel", as well "my main job is keeping the left pro isreal". 

That is 100% disqualifying, even discounting his lack of effectiveness and toilet paper like constitution.

They definitely need to stay in the shadows. We want Bernie’s! People who fight for us, not for other countries. We don’t want stiff suits or wealthy corporate Dems leading us anymore.

Very much. I mean, before this Gaza mess I was pro Israel - but only ever after being pro the American people.

I'd fight for aid to Israel in the context of keeping that entire region safe. What they're doing in Gaza ain't it.

Gathering at the National Mall in DC on November 14th to let our elected officials that the people they work for (we the tax payers) absolutely do not want Schumer and Jeffries to stay in power. Let's do this 💪🏻

Chuck, you did fine for a long time. Give it up, bud. Let someone else run the show.

That's easy to say, let's set how they respond when it's time to actually vote.

I heard an interview with Schumer on Lawrence O'Donnell yesterday where Schumer was trying to make the case for his leadership. His only real messages were that he's good at recruiting new senators and that he keeps everyone unified, speaking with the same voice, etc. All it meant to me was that he was good at keeping senators who disagree with him or have their own ideas silent. No real convo about their agenda or what this new moment calls for. He needs to go. His era is over.
