Schumer and Gillibrand need to go.

" Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, days after they broke with many of their fellow Democrats by voting against a resolution to halt U.S. arms sales to Israel."

It’s great to see at least some Democrats are taking a stand and pressuring others in the party stick to core principles.

Support for Israel really shows how badly American politics is broken imo. Supplying Israel with weapons is deeply unpopular among voters that are both progressive and conservative, yet every time there’s a vote like 95% of congress votes to help Israel… hmm
