Chuck Schumer struggles to meet the moment as Democrats call for leadership
Chuck Schumer struggles to meet the moment as Democrats call for leadership
Consider he can't handle to NOT voting for another fascist cabinet member, yeah, screw this ineffective asshole.
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.
Zionists to be specific. It’s not all Jewish people.
Zionists are the fascists, not Jewish people.
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.
Schumer Pelosi and Warren need to retire or be voted out.
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.
There's no time left for voting them out. We've already had our last free and fair election.
This is the man who said his purpose as a Senator is to serve Israel. He should move to Israel. I wouldn't be surprised if he already has Israeli citizenship.
“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.
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.
Maybe that’s why he’s also struggling to get his message heard
Christ if this is success, what does failure look like
People like him are the reason why the Democrats dont truly qualify in my eyes as an opposition party.
"Struggles" is being generous. He is intentionally not fighting. The elderly leadership and all the AIPAC loyalists within the party major road blocks to any form of fighting back.
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.
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.
Good job New York. Keep electing this geriatric dust collector.
Not ‘struggles’, simply ‘fails’
Still too generous; "fails" implies that he even tried
"Struggles" doing Atlas level lifting here.
There's no struggle. Dude has always been fash.
Chuck Schumer Struggles to Meet the Moment as Tuesday Unexpectedly on Calendar Once Again.
More like coward sell out shows his true intentions.
He cannot meet the moment.
JESUS CHRIST! Get these old, ineffective fucking fogeys out.
Chuck is an absolute fucking loser.
Off ya fuck, Chuck.
As an old white guy, I’m really tired of old white guys.
RETIRE!
It’s not him. Make room for the new blood.
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 were never once put together well enough to do something for those that come after.
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.
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
Why is this guy called a leader when all he does is immitate a mall Santa on Christmas Day?
Nobody appreciates the artistry that goes into writing a good angry but very polite and subservient letter these days.
Who's the old dude for us non Americans
"Leader" of Senate Democrats. I put that in quotes because I'm not seeing any leadership out of the guy. He needs to go.
Despite his name being the title and half a dozen times in the article, it will forever be a mystery.
I mean what does he do, is he like the opposition leader or something?
He does nothing. In theory he would be an opposition leader but he's happy to play the "not quite as bad as Trump" role, which means he won't do anything to actually stop Trump.
He's the most senior Senator in the democratic party, he's as entrenched as they come.
