You have meek fuckers in leadership because that's who the corporate/wealthy donors want there. If you want to get rid of them you're going to have to get rid of the money and influence that put them there.

They're not meek, they profit from the status quo.
These people have no business in governing modern day people, these dinosaurs need to be let go.
they benefit and profit by not being the blame of the GOP whom they are also grifting form.
He’s not meek he’s corrupt
If you’re old enough to draw Social Security, you shouldn’t hold office. Period.
Dems agree to set Social Security age to 105
I know what you mean and mostly agree with upper age limits on office holders but children can receive social security survivors benefits. It is not just (although mainly) old age pensioners.
Absolutely. I've been calling my Senators since Thursday telling them that if they don't publicly call for Schumer to step down, then they are culpable for his decisions. Supporting fascist enablers is supporting fascism.
Cuck Schumer
Chuck the cuck
you can try, it's unlikely to happen.
Unfortunately we seem to have zero good public speakers in out government, the one thing that actually seems to matter politically, just doesn't exist anymore, apparently.
Money still important
a good speaker is what changes minds, money only changes the opinions of the weak.
Getting rid of citizens united would certainly be nice though.
Here's the actual story, Schumer relented one day after GOP and DNC megadonors threaten to pull funding away from 10 Democrats.
So the super rich really do control everyone and everything.
Who knew?
They're not meek. They're pusillanimous. Or pusies for short. Intentionally misspelled.
Time to take out the trash
Schumer has been in Congress since 1981 and politics since 1975, so maybe stop fooling yourselves that he’s going anywhere
Only if you’re ready for a decades long campaign to flip towns, cities, districts, and state level legislatures like it took the republicans from 1972 to just a month ago.
That’s what we’re up against.
