You feel that we can’t work to remove ineffective leaders from safe seats.
Not to put words in your mouth, but I would guess you are also against primarying ineffective leaders in competitive districts.
🤔
Well then. I guess we’re stuck with ineffective leaders. 
The party leadership cares more about norms and comity than fighting for the American people. They shirk their responsibility to take a stand, muttering something about they have no power. They then turn around and send me a fundraising letter.
The party leadership kneecapped one of our most effective speakers (AOC) in favor of a man with throat cancer! The rationales given were that “ it was his turn”, “Senority”, “AOC makes me feel nervous when she calls out the Republicans in a mean way”. Well, that last one wasn’t stated, but is implied by their actions and anonymous quotes given to the press.
People like it when their leaders take action. That’s one of the secret strengths of the Republicans. Did you ever hear one tell their constituents, “Sorry, I can’t propose anti-abortion legislation because it can’t pass…” Hell no! Every day when they didn’t hold the majority they still proposed some crazy ass bill, and their constituents loved them for it.
Schumer et al are the wrong people to lead the party in a wartime fight.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
