Consider he can’t handle to NOT voting for another fascist cabinet member, yeah, screw this ineffective asshole.
“Polls come and go. Our party is united. We’re on our front foot, we’re stepping forward, going after Trump and having real success,” Schumer insisted.
Nothing said here reflects reality.
We’re on our front foot
He’s on his ass … which is remarkable since he’s talking out of it at the same time.
Maybe that’s why he’s also struggling to get his message heard
That piece of shit was coming here on his stupid book tour. Friend and I had plans to go challenge him before he cancelled when he realized he’s unpopular. Schedule a new tour, Chucky. We’re dying to see you.
Christ if this is success, what does failure look like
I have despised this craven, insipid, spineless weenie ever since he collaborated with a clumsy Republican smear campaign to ruin Al Franken’s career.
Since then, he has been ineffective at best, and has been a cowardly collaborator at worst. It’s time for this loser to be removed from office, let AOC take his place, and be replaced as Senate Minority Leader by someone bold enough to go toe-to-toe with the MAGA Nazis.
People like him are the reason why the Democrats dont truly qualify in my eyes as an opposition party.
Good job New York. Keep electing this geriatric dust collector.
In this very interesting video Tom Nicholas describes the transition from modernism to post-modernism to a new thing called metamodernism.
One thing he points out is that post-modernist political parties of all stripes avoided having actual stances and thought just playing the part of a politician - wear suits, use the right hand gestures, say the right words - was enough to get elected.
This is almost exactly what Schumer is doing here. As a post-modernist politician he can create his own reality and ignore actual facts.
Schumer is a deer in the headlights at this point. If we’re being generous, he’s useless. If we’re being honest, he’s a fascist enabler. And fascist enablers are fascists with extra steps.
I’m going to say something controversial to some of us: It’s because Jewish people are the fascists this time around. Israel is a militarized police and tech surveillance state whose leader will be ousted if the war stops so he went on the offensive. Chuck is receiving money from AIPAC and doesn’t want the campaign cash to stop so he’s looking the other way while the fascists take over.
Elections need to be publicly funded. Money in politics is the source of America’s decline.
Trump’s a goy. So’s Vance. A lot of the white nationalist MAGAts would be happy to murder Jews if they got the chance.
Likud’s influence on both Dems and Republicans is indeed pernicious, but it’s money in politics and the peddling of foreign influence that are the underlying problems, not Jewish people.
Every Jewish person I know is opposed to aid for Israel, supporting their genocide and very vocally supportive of Gaza/palestine and very critical of Israel-the-country
It’s not that he’s Jewish. He’s just a prick.
There’s a super reform synagogue in my town, their president is an out lesbian, they turned out for blm marches, host families traveling to get medical care for their sick kids, etc.
And they’re generally super pro-Netanyahu, pro-NeoNaqba.
It’s baffling to me that you can understand that there is rampant racist police violence in the US, and not in Gaza or Jenin.
As a Palestinian I keep feeling the need to bring up that we have no issues what-so-ever with Judaism or people of Jewish faith. But I hate Zionism to my core, and I strongly commend Jewish people against Israel. Please personally thank your Jewish friends for making a choice
It’s telling how people in the imperial core generally can’t distinguish between judaism and zionism. That’s how deeply ingrained the indoctrination and propaganda goes. The widespread conflation of judaism and zionism is a completely normalized form of anti-semitism.
The widespread conflation of judaism and zionism is a completely normalized form of anti-semitism.
And it is intentionally pushed by Israeli PACs.
And Netanyahu himself.
I’ll pass it along, but I can tell you they’re going to be a bit confused and say “it’s just the bare minimum,” or “it’s just the right thing to do.”
(that was their response when I expressed my own gratitude and appreciation.)
Zionists are the fascists, not Jewish people.
Zionists to be specific. It’s not all Jewish people.
Schumer Pelosi and Warren need to retire or be voted out.
What’d Warren do?
She’s useless, all Dem leadership is
There’s no time left for voting them out. We’ve already had our last free and fair election.
This is Hakeem Jeffries erasure.
See also: Durbin, Cuellar, Clyburn, Hoyer, the entire Blue Dog Coalition, King, Coons, Klobuchar, Tester, Rosen, Hassan, Peters, to just name a few of the feckless Dems (and one independent Senator who caucuses with Dems but often votes with the fascists) who still value “bipartisanship” over the wellbeing of the people they’re pretending to represent.
How sad for him. The times call for someone in his position to do more than going through the motions and other ineffective and performative bullshit

Not ‘struggles’, simply ‘fails’
Still too generous; “fails” implies that he even tried
It’s not him. Make room for the new blood.
The US Congress is about to join this list:

👀
I mean, if they haven’t already it’s because wiki is slow walking the edit.
They are busy moving the database to somewhere in Europe. Give them a bit.
As an old white guy, I’m really tired of old white guys.
Off ya fuck, Chuck.
Why is nobody sending him a series of strongly worded questions!?!
They are though. He’s done, he knows it, but he won’t leave and it takes time to force powerful old men to retire.
Chuck Schumer is running the bet that the GOP will implode before the whole country goes up in flames.
It’s solely a hedge to save his party and capture as much power as possible.
Maybe it works but it was never for you. Unless you believe the democrats are actually “elites” that deserve to be in charge.
Personally, I think their time has come and gone and it’s a crying shame they never once were put together well enough to do something for those that come after.
