In reply to the discussion: New York polls are full of warnings for Chuck Schumer [View all]bigtree
(94,391 posts)26. it's funny how the 'new era' seems to be fraught with so much uncertainty and regression
...while his and Biden's 'era' was marked by historic, progressive legislative progress.
The new leaders will oversee an era of restoring all of those accomplishments to the level they were before so many of these same critics refused to show up and vote for a Democratic majority in an epic counterproductive protest; refused to show up to preserve and protect them .
If we're successful in the midterms, they will be governing in a political period that will certainly hope to match that past record of progressive progress that Biden and Schumer helped usher in; can only hope to advance the nation as far as those two leaders' generation did when they were in power.

Well, I've been in a brawl where people were hurt. It sucks. It was at a political meeting.

He's not right for this period in our history, IMO. I'd be thrilled to be able to vote for someone else (Democratic).

Haven't heard much about Gillibrand lately...She would then be the senior senator from New York.

I'm not one of the people obsessing on this as if he's some sort of obstacle to anything
