CMV: U.S. Democratic leadership is weak and needs to be replaced

Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are weak leaders who lack vision and need to be removed from their positions of leadership for the good of their party.

All the evidence you need for this is wrapped up in the most recent budget deal. Democratic leadership folded like a cheap lawn chair on DACA and allowed a bill to pass anyway. They also could have demanded that the Democratic response memo to the Nunes memo be declassified and released to the public in order to avert a government shutdown down. They chose not to do so.

These people are refusing to take a real stance that would put any meaningful pressure on Republican priorities and the Democratic party should replace them.

Discuss.

The Democrats stopped pushing for a shutdown because popular sentiment was turning against them - the best interpretation of the outcome has Ds and Rs coming out with equal blame, but most put it more on the Ds.  Most people want a deal on DACA, but they don't want it enough to shut down the government.  It just isn't that time-sensitive.

>They also could have demanded that the Democratic response memo to the Nunes memo be declassified and released to the public in order to avert a government shutdown down.

That's just bizarre.  The Nunes memo mostly fell flat and probably doesn't need to be rebutted at all, and it certainly isn't worth shutting down the government *again.*  Especially so considering the spending money Ds got for favored programs their constituents want and the promise that an immigration bill will be considered in the near term.

We just finished 6 years of Obama wherein the Freedom Caucus ensured almost nothing got done unless their idiosyncratic demands were met.  That was a stupid way to run a Republic, and it doesn't get smarter if Democrats do the same thing.
