WHAT THE CHOICE BETWEEN CHUCK SCHUMER AND CHRIS VAN HOLLEN FOR SENATE LEADER IS ALL ABOUT

The election for Democratic Senate Leader between Chuck Schumer and Chris Van Hollen must be understood for what it is. This is not a personality contest. This is a debate about the future of the Democratic Party. It is a debate about whether the Democratic Party remains a top-down party dominated by billionaire campaign contributors, inside-the-beltway consultants and 30-second TV ads, or whether we can transform it into a grassroots party of, by and for the working families of our country.

The election for Democratic Senate Leader will determine whether or not we continue to tinker around the edges and maintain status quo policies, or whether we finally have the courage to take on enormously powerful special interests and address the unprecedented crises that we face. For example:

Do we address the issue of oligarchy, obscene income and wealth inequality, and the reality that never before in the history of our country have so few people held so much wealth and so much power?

Do we address the issue of a corrupt campaign finance system and their super PACs, which enables billionaires to buy elections and undermine our democracy?

Do we address the issue that, in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck, we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country and millions of seniors are unable to retire with dignity?

Do we address the reality that our current healthcare system is dysfunctional, wildly expensive and that we are the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee healthcare for all as a human right?

Do we address the reality that Artificial Intelligence, the most transformative technology in history, is being pushed down our throats by a handful of Big Tech billionaires who could care less about the well-being of ordinary Americans?

Do we address the reality that climate change is causing deadly heat waves, massive forest fires, drought and extreme weather disturbances and will only get worse if don’t transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels and into energy efficiency and sustainable energy?

Do we address the reality that our immigration system is broken and that we have, with ICE, a domestic army that has killed Americans in cold blood and has acted in cruel, illegal and unconstitutional ways?

Do we address the reality that the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and the current war in Iran were based on lies and that we need to fundamentally rethink our foreign policy including continued military funding to the extremist government in Israel?

Bottom line: Whether we like it or not our country faces some extraordinary and unprecedented crises. Do we seriously address these difficult challenges, and restore the faith of the American people that their government can improve their lives, or do we continue the same old, same old politics.

In large measure, that is what this Senate Democratic Leadership election is all about.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Americans are desperate to restore government by and for the people, not the privileged and powerful.

We need leadership that carries that responsibility in their heart and gut.

@ChrisVanHollen is that leader. I've seen him rally support for the people against the powerful time and time again.

He has my full support for Majority Leader.

Politics as usual is unacceptable. The American people have given us the opportunity to deliver. Let's seize the day and make it happen.

[Popstonox @Popstonox]

Scott Colom calls out Chuck Schumer for taking credit for his win

"It's not accurate to say he recruited me. The people of Mississippi recruited me. You think I would listen to somebody who lives in Brooklyn?"

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.

To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.

That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.

[K. @IbaraEleven]

Voters give dems a massive victory and they immediately start calling their voters idiots who are just too stupid to understand why Schumer’s failures and capitulations are actually good

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Yes! This is what leadership looks like. Let’s Go!

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

I can’t compete.

MELAT. KIROS. YES.

A strong communicator, no BS, & she thankfully doesn’t sound like a Democratic Establishment automaton reading pre-approved talking points.

👏👏👏 Brava, Congresswoman-elect @MelatKirosCO.

[Ahmed Moor @AhmedMoor]

This is painful to watch. Fetterman appears embattled and confused. I feel compassion for the man.

But Pennsylvania deserves a Senator who’s dealing from a full deck.

NEW: Meet incoming speaker Hakeem Jeffries’ donors: Anduril and Palantir executives, Wall Street investors, crypto lobbyists, and donors funneling contributions through AIPAC.

We followed the money behind Hakeem Jeffries. https://t.co/5rbky7UN9h

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Abdul putting Van Hollen’s name out publicly was really important. Helped fuel the calls to CVH’s office and pushed him towards running. Now we need comparable bravery on the House side.

“Hint of Lime” is an astonishingly dishonest name for a tortilla chip that tastes like it was manufactured during an industrial accident at a lime processing facility

I had kinda gotten sick of I’ve had it because sometimes it’s kinda lib. But seeing them get flack makes me ready to die for my queens. Also do not call her Angie it’s “pumps” and she’s a fan favorite.
