Another mistake for the Democrats

I see where Senator Schumer is heading the Democrat's efforts to win more Senate seats, while Rep. Emmanuel is doing the same for the House. Schumer, in particular, seems to be a caricature of someone who really cares about this country. I can't see how he can convince the centrists to return to the Democrats; all he can do, perhaps, is energize the converted, of which there are fewer and fewer.

Imagination? Ideas? Principles? You won't find them in either major party. We need a different way of voting, one in which the incumbents are not, by and large, shoo-ins. We've had too many years of being governed by people who care more about their careers than their country. It's time to throw the rascals out.
