the figureheads of the democrat party, the Senate Minority Leader Schumer
Oh ok.
See, the problem was if Dem politicians didn't vote for neoliberals for leadership, the neoliberal DNC would cutoff funding to the whole state, handing a bunch of seats to Republicans.
They were fine with this, because their goal was to never have enough power to actually do what Dem voters want.
Congress votes for their leaders in the end of January.
DNC voting members vote for chair (when a Dem wins they appoint one) in the beginning of February.
So when Schumer and Jeffries had their elections for leadership, they had the full weight of an entirely biased DNC chair who was appointed by Biden, the threats were real.
Then a few days later, the DNC voting members pivoted from neoliberals, and started dumping all that hoarded VF money on the state parties.
Schumer and Jeffries have been lame ducks this entire congress, and they will continue to do so.
They will also intentionally act like jackasses and that they are the party, because they want to depress turnout so they can get Newsom or Harris in, and they can appoint a neoliberal chair again.
Like...
Does any of that make sense?
"The DNC" is the chair. When Schumer acts like he's "The DNC" it's so people like you will do what you're doing and depress dem primary turnout....
Surely, you have to realize billionaires are willing to lie and do fucked up shit to hold onto their hoarded wealth, right?
