Connor Lamb was defeated by Fetterman who had rock solid support from the populist left (Sandernistas).

Fetterman by not "fighting" to make "Schumer's Shutdown" a reality is now on the Democratic primary (s)hit list.

So is this really about fighting Trump or MAGAtism or just preparation for dumping Fetterman in 2028.

And please stop dumping on politicians who are releasing books. It really is a shallow point. Books are released on schedules that do not relate to ongoing political events. Book contracts always require authors to promote the books when published. I haven't a clue why anyone would read a book by Schumer but it seems the book written has something to do with saving democracy. His book signing events seem like a perfect opportunity to engage in dialogue with him and ask how he sees his role in that and why he seems shy of fighting. Instead activists just want to turn it into a protest and a screaming match. Shutdown Schumer for not forcing the "Schumer Shutdown" on America.

In this moment, rallies and meetings with constituents trump book tours. Their job is more important than their side gig.
