    This “progressive” vs “centrist” bullshit is a false narrative. You could describe James Talarico or Adam Hamilton as centrist, but they have more in common with Bernie Sanders than with Chuck Schumer.

    This battle is about ethics and tenacity vs corruption and fecklessness, not “progressives” vs “centrists.” Schumer clearly greases the wheels for his donors, represents the interests of AIPAC above those of the United States, and does not have the skills to lead with new ideas or stand up to would-be authoritarians. All the Democrats who represent the working people should unite to support another candidate for Majority Leader.
