“One of the things that we heard last night, resoundingly across the country, is that we are in … a new movement in this country,” Flanagan said. “Many of us were elected who refused corporate PAC money, who are beholden only to the people who elected us and are ready to fight for bold change. And so I think it’s time for new leadership.”

    What if my Senator is Schumer? How do I politely tell him to retire already?

      Tell him you want a more progressive leader in the senate. He should know his constituents don’t want him in charge either

      He’s openly suggested that he’s more loyal to Israel than to the united States. Tell him that’s borderline treason and he’s despicable for supporting genocide. Tell him you want a new rep and a new leader.

        Honestly, because it’s staffers that receive communications; they can either delete it or log it, and coming at them with (too much) spite might tip them over to ignore you. So politely tell their boss to fuck off, so that message might actually get logged.

          They work for a piece of shit. You gonna be polite to a Nazi general because he’s just doing his job? Making all his staff quit would go a long way toward making him actually fuck off, rather than getting your polite “fuck off” message politely delivered to the nearest trash bin so they don’t get fired.

      Sir, as one of your constituents I do not feel as though you have acted in accordance with the needs or the will of the people who elected you into office, but rather submitted to the demands of private interests and corporate donors. Your actions, or often lack of action, have caused harm at worst and at best kept positive change from happening. I respectfully ask that you step down and allow the next generation of leadership to enact the will of regular Americans.

      Sincerely, dhork.

      Politely tell him he had his turn, and now it’s time for a different democratic leadership and approach.

      If he hasn’t already felt how incredibly unwelcome he is, you can politely figure out a way to tell him to “go fuck himself”.

      Bully tactics is how people like him ended up in power. Start there. End with a hug and make sure it doesn’t happen again. Better yet, give what’s left of this land back to the natives. They did it better. #LANDBACK

        “I would prefer the democrats to be led by a being not suffering from intellectual unsustainable disparity.”

        (Edit: forgot a not, thats pretty important)
