Read like a “yes, and…” reply to me…
If a politician doesn't explicitly say yes in response to a direct question I wouldn't interpret that as a yes, nor would I expect anyone to interpret that as such. Thats how they operate.
Her answer was insightful enough to know that Schumer leaving could mean you just get Schumer 2.0. The problem is bigger than one person. Schumer should go, yeah, but more importantly—the problem (of which Schumer is a manifestation) should go. Fight for change, not a facade thereof.
What if the response in stead of saying “Yes” to “should Chuck Schumer be removed?” actually tells people how to accomplish it? Still doesn’t count as a “Yes”?
Shes one of the people who has the power to do it, and yet she refuses to say she'd do it.
If im a fireman and you ask me if im gonna put out a fire in your house and instead of saying yes I tell you how a fire extinguisher works, you gonna assume that means I'm gonna help you put it out?
She's in the House, Schumer is in the Senate. It'd be like asking a fireman to put out a fire while he and his truck are two counties over, and complaining when they tell you to get help from your local fire station instead.
Or like asking an EMT to help you put out a fire, and when they point out they're an EMT, indignantly scoffing and calling them a "spineless establishment first responder."
The key here is she can’t do it by herself. She doesn’t have the votes.
The better analogy would be if you were the fireman organizing the bucket brigade.
