Even Pelosi doesn't support the latest Schumer capitulation. This is 100% an act of weakness; he's spooked about the midterms/polling and afraid that fighting will lose his party support. And if polls looks worse next week he'll somehow try to capitulate further. His playbook has two options: bluff and surrender.

because outrage fatigue is setting in and we're all hypernormalized and all polling is based on dated models for idiots but the decrepit blight and ash elementals that pass for senior leadership don't understand that we're living in hellworld

"restoring balance" what kind of star wars bullshit is that?

For those who don't know, Joseph Crowley is currently the (I believe) number 3 Democrat in the House, and you'll often see him standing to Pelosi's left in her photo opps. His district is Western Queens (including Astoria and where I live) and some of the Eastern Bronx, in NYC. I don't believe he's ever had a contested election, and got into the House through some county party fuckery:

Wikipedia posted:

Democratic Congressman Thomas J. Manton quietly retired from the Congress in 1999, having already filed for and circulated petitions for re-election. He withdrew on the last day it was legally possible to do so and arranged for Crowley, his chosen successor, to replace him on the ballot.

He's currently the chairperson of that party, which has county committee meetings every two years, with the executive board, composed mostly of his goons, making decisions in the interim.

If you're curious, he does have a primary challenger right now -- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who is running on the Justice Democrats (that young turks thing) and Brand New Congress lines. She's been to a couple Queens DSA events, including this past meeting at the end of January, where she (and I was as shocked about this as anyone) didn't say anything in favor of her campaign and only acknowledged (gladly) who she was when someone else mentioned it. She straight up just joined a housing working group breakout session and contributed. It blew my mind.

Anyway, if you want to unseat an arch-bad dem, maybe help her out?

I already know the answer for this but if the wave is big enough in 2018 would there be enough will from Senate democrats who see where the wind is blowing to force him to step down from minority / majority leader? I mean even through all their denials and 11th dimensional chess the bad dems have to realize how bad he is making them look.
