    If you add every single undecided to Schumer…

    The survey by the liberal firm Data for Progress, first shared with POLITICO, found that 55 percent of Democratic likely voters said they supported or leaned toward supporting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided.

    AOC would still have a double digit lead…

      That is hilariously damning for Schumer. Granted, I don’t trust a poll these days further than I could throw an overweight pollster, but still: that is FAR outside the margin of error. Schumer fucking torpedoed his own legacy, and (save for the context of the government falling the fuck apart) it’s fucking hilarious. There’s going to be a whole chapter named after that dipshit in EU history textbooks (I don’t think the US will have history textbooks for a while. Or, they won’t be “US” history textbooks), and it’s going to be about the progression of how the DNC was captured by monied interests, and subsequently incrementalized their way into utter irrelevance.

        It won’t be a whole chapter. He’ll probably get a sentence that might not even mention his name, as the former leader of the defunct minority party that did nothing to slow the tide of fascism

      Can’t get complacent, though. All seasoned politicians are experienced in rehabilitating their image before an election.
