It’s sounding more and more like our best strategy is to advocate to replace Schumer with Chris Van Hollen as leader.
If you have Democratic senators, you can sign the below petition and it will be sent to them as a letter/email from you:

Bernie has been the beacon of hope, action and change that we deserve.
He’s a leader and progressive flag bearer and we’d be lost without him.
Yes Bernie! Thank you.
I’ll just put it out there, that it was the Chuck Schumer who, as the leader of the DSCC in 2006 endorsed Bernie Sanders and helped ensure no other Democrat challenger would appear on the ballot to split his vote. So Schumer hasn’t really been outwardly anti-Sanders over the decades they knew each other since his time in Brooklyn.
I still think that at present he stands to just rot in the Senate leader’s chair ala Mitch McConnell, and this moment calls for change and a movement away from the age-old familiar practices in order to meet it.
Slotkin? The MI Slotkin? Are we sure? /s
That seems pretty hype tbh. Wouldn’t have guessed she would be one of the centrists to change her mind
