I find the problem is that liberals always take the individualistic viewpoint on this, and they’ll fixate on specific people like Schumer instead of recognizing that there’s a structural problem within the party. In my experience, discussing the fact that there are structural problems is a bridge too far for most people.
That’s true, but the fact that he’s the minority leader helps. It’s still individualism, but it’s possible to point out that the party leadership is bad. That’s not that far removed from saying “… and that’s why we need to form a labor party”
Many, sadly, will think they can just change leadership and the Party will be fixed. I think continually pointing out the contradictions and agitating with these examples still helps. We can wear them down!

Yeah, I think focusing on the fact that there is a lot of historical precedent to go off is the best approach.
