Democrats absolutely do care what their base wants, unlike the Republicans, but yes this sort of talk and action are why the DNC lost. Being the lesser evil very unfortunately wasn't enough.
Republicans got what they voted...
When was last time Democrats got anything?
ACA ๐คก
Child poverty fell by half under Biden, there was also the massive Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment, there was the largest ever investment into preventing climate change at 369 Billion USD, he attempted three times to cancel all college student debts unfortunately only managing to cancel a few tens of billions and instead creating the SAVE plans which lowered monthly payments down to $0 for many or greatly reducing payments for those over the income thresholds, protected gay marriages, etc.
And a shitload of other stuff that nobody talks about because BoTH siDeS BaD. ๐คก
Tax credit expired and it went back up
State aid to corporations
????
Congress has the authority to tax and spend... I am happy that he helped a few people tho cheers.
???
Bottom line these are limp dick DNC talking points.
Go tell your komissar, they will lose the next election unless they start respecting ALL working people
???
It doesn't help that Schumer's term goes on until 2029 so the only way to primary him is to issue a recall. It's going to be a rough decade.
Schumer is a crypto republican... How is DNC still permit him in the party?!
The political landscape changed a lot faster than he did. He used to be a guy who could get people from both sides to cooperate to pass legislation, but since 2016 things have become such that cooperating with the conservatives is sometimes literally criminal.
The only way to primary him. Not the only way to be rid of him, though.
I think I'm their base. I don't want genocide. I do want everyone to be happy and healthy and educated with healthcare and clean air. People should be able to afford things without working themselves to death.
I do not feel represented.
Then maybe you should read the vote counts on most of the important legislation passed in the last 3 decades? Because I assure you that you absolutely are represented.
The worst score the DNC would have with your list would be handling Israel and Gaza but our guy was swearing at Netanyahu over the phone, building a pier to distribute aid, and withholding weapons shipments. The new guy, who replaced our guy, has bragged about fulfilling the delayed shipments, is backing a full and complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
So, I mean, hands down no competition. Remove Republicans at all costs. ALL COSTS.
