Privately, many Senate Democrats conceded that their leader was doing his job by protecting his members from a tough vote and making a politically painful decision. But the backlash from his party was intense.

Can't they vote his ass off of leader?

yes, people living in states with Dem senators should pester their reps to push for more progressive leadership.

there are still a few people in both houses with integrity and drive to actually fight but they have been pushed aside by mainstream (out of touch) rich assholes like Schumer and Pelosi for too damn long.

Just need 2/3 majority vote within the party members. Just need one to raise it for a vote.

Yes but it won't change the scope of his influence as minority leader. He can still vote the way he does, ask others to join him.
