    This man is out of his mind.
    And/or he just wants to keep his fortune.

    I leave it to the reader to decide.

    I have quit the Democratic Party today. I just changed my registration.

    Yes, I won’t be able to vote in their primaries in my state but it’s not like that helped at all.

    Fuck em. If they don’t have any loyalty to the party why the fuck should I?

      I’m sure Schumer and his ilk will thank you. Now they won’t even have to pretend to care what you want etc.

      I mean I get it. Current leadership is absolutely shit. Though I’m not sure why the right solution to that is to give up your voice and let them have power easier. Honestly I’m going to stay in the party and call them out louder. I’m not a Democrat anyhow I’m just in the party as an opposition to Republicans, and the fact there is no real Anarchist party. For obvious reasons. So why not have my voice heard and have what little bit of influence I can.

        If they pretended to care they wouldn’t have done a lot of shit.

        They literally do not care, and have told me as such in many form letters sent after I contacted their offices.

        For 25 years I’ve tried to have my little voice heard and it’s been ignored at best and ridiculed at worst.

        I’m through pretending to be a democrat so assholes can take advantage of me and insult me when I dare to question them.

        And finally: Fuck John Fetterman

          I don’t blame you at all. Is the Working Families Party at all active near you? They have a reasonable presence in NY (which, admittedly, is where Schumer is). I find that they represent my values much better than the Democratic Party, and I’ve enjoyed the people I’ve met through them.

      We are in a first past the post voting system. Your actions only make sense in a ranked choice voting system. We don’t have that.

        I can still vote in general elections for whoever I want.

        Heck, maybe they’ll listen to me more because I’m an independent voter in a swing state and not someone who they can take for granted as a party member.

        I’m going to be an optimistic about this.

        So I’ll be happy even people who couldnt understand my comment, still understands Schumer needs to be replaced

    This is an old man. Only thinking of himself. He shouldn’t represent anyone. No taxation without representation. The rich are stealing our money.

    Old twats in position of power, times change faster now, there need to be term limits and a banning of stock trading for these positions.

    And for the love of God abolish qualified immunity.
