Can't they vote his ass off of leader?

Just need 2/3 majority vote within the party members. Just need one to raise it for a vote.

yes, people living in states with Dem senators should pester their reps to push for more progressive leadership.

there are still a few people in both houses with integrity and drive to actually fight but they have been pushed aside by mainstream (out of touch) rich assholes like Schumer and Pelosi for too damn long.
