Can AOC run for Schumer seat in NY? It time I think we should get around Captain Mark Kelly for Minority Leader replace Schumer it’s time for fights not pacifying Schumer

I TOTALLY AGREE… We had a PRESIDENT in KELLY… I truly respect and voted for OUR KAMALA, but our great, but backwards country was not

( & won’t be for a while) ready for a woman. KELLY would & still could “SAVE OUR COUNTRY from TRUMP TYRANY”

Mark Kelly was on the list to vote with the Republicans until last night.

He’s my senator, but not sure I trust him.

That's disinformation. He's steadfastly against and has campaigned against it.

I’m not sure I would trust him either. I don’t see him, yet, as a Fetterman or Schumer, but you never know.

Yes to AOC running against Schumer. Of course, there will be loads of corporate money arrayed against her, but I think she can handle it. No to Mark Kelly, the most conservative Democrat after Fettermanchinema. Chris Murphy would be a great choice. Other strong choices, in my opinion, are Cory Booker, Jeff Merkley, Sheldon Whitehouse, Elizabeth Warren & Ron Wyden.

Warren is my Senator and she’s great but last time she ran for POTUS she didn’t even win her own state.

It's because the corporate establishment in the party put their finger on the election, told Buttigieg, Klobuchar & Steyer to get out of the race & endorse Biden just before Super Tuesday to sabotage her & Bernie's campaigns. That's what we're up against & must replace: that corporate establishment that has been running & ruining the party since last century, pulling the party ever more rightward.

There's a huge void on the left side of the political spectrum, even though progressive policies are overwhelmingly popular, because progressives are mostly blocked out of mainstream media, are poorly organized & are dispersed among the Democratic Party (where they form a sizable minority), independents & various minorities parties. They have tried & failed for decades to win over the Democratic Party. It is time they all unite & coalesce under a new party to challenge the corporatist Duopoly.

That is because Democrats are strictly a state and regional power... they are ineffective as a national party and as long as you have idiots like Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, Booker, AOC.... you will never ever be of national importance
