The Senate vote comes amidst a full-scale rampage by the Trump administration against the working class and democratic rights.

Progressives need to co-opt the Democratic Party the same way the Tea Party and MAGA took over the GOP. Build a base, win primaries, and force the establishment to move left or get out of the way.

There are groups working to do that. We don't have to talk about this as a hypothetical can get involved today

For instance, groups like Indivisible are pushing for Schumer to be pushed out. Groups like Run for Something are supporting progressives under 40 to run for all positions in state and local elections (generals and primaries)
