Yes, I believe the RepubliCONS and other forces engage i psy-ops that Dems sometimes fall for.

But I also believe we have a right to expect more of our leaders right now. Schumer has made many strategic mistakes.

No one ever asks me, but I believe a good strategy right now would be replacing Schumer with someone who is better at strategy on a war footing. It is a good message to say - there is a new sheriff in town...and then act like it.

I believe Jeffries made some mistakes early on, when he seemed to think - let these guys screw up and it will benefit us in the midterms. But I believe he is doing a better job of leading right now.

Schumer absolutely doesn't have the skill sets for the times...you don't have to be a Democratic strategist to see that. We need the party to stop making mistakes, so we can all work together to save our Democracy.
