Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has done the near impossible: unite the moderate and left wings of the Democratic Party. Against him, that is.

Bitter rivals over the long-term future of the Democratic Party came to the same conclusion about the current state of things.
“Seems like even the moderates hate Chuck,” a strategist from the party’s far left gleefully texted NOTUS. “Wonder what Third Way’s take is now!”
