Democrats absolutely do care what their base wants, unlike the Republicans, but yes this sort of talk and action are why the DNC lost. Being the lesser evil very unfortunately wasn’t enough.
The political landscape changed a lot faster than he did. He used to be a guy who could get people from both sides to cooperate to pass legislation, but since 2016 things have become such that cooperating with the conservatives is sometimes literally criminal.
Child poverty fell by half under Biden, there was also the massive Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment, there was the largest ever investment into preventing climate change at 369 Billion USD, he attempted three times to cancel all college student debts unfortunately only managing to cancel a few tens of billions and instead creating the SAVE plans which lowered monthly payments down to $0 for many or greatly reducing payments for those over the income thresholds, protected gay marriages, etc.
And a shitload of other stuff that nobody talks about because BoTH siDeS BaD. 🤡
I think I’m their base. I don’t want genocide. I do want everyone to be happy and healthy and educated with healthcare and clean air. People should be able to afford things without working themselves to death.
Then maybe you should read the vote counts on most of the important legislation passed in the last 3 decades? Because I assure you that you absolutely are represented.
The worst score the DNC would have with your list would be handling Israel and Gaza but our guy was swearing at Netanyahu over the phone, building a pier to distribute aid, and withholding weapons shipments. The new guy, who replaced our guy, has bragged about fulfilling the delayed shipments, is backing a full and complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
So, I mean, hands down no competition. Remove Republicans at all costs. ALL COSTS.

It doesn’t help that Schumer’s term goes on until 2029 so the only way to primary him is to issue a recall. It’s going to be a rough decade.

The only way to primary him. Not the only way to be rid of him, though.
