6. It wasn't 8. The problem is bigger.

The 8 were chosen because they dont stand for election next year.

The problem is not just Schumer, although he is worse than worthless. The problem is that the party is far too tolerant of empty suits who do nothing to advance the causes of progress and justice. The system is rigged to favor the smaller states. Every seat, especially in the Senate, is precious. We cannot afford to have a single weak sister, moderate, centrist or whatever they want to be called. And we can't live with a DNC that actively supports those players and actively fights against progressives.
