ANALYSIS: The Senate Democratic leader is increasingly finding himself out of step with both his party’s voting base and his colleagues in Congress, writes John Bowden

Consider he can’t handle to NOT voting for another fascist cabinet member, yeah, screw this ineffective asshole.

    He’s not struggling to meet the moment, he’s struggling to hold his own party down. Make no mistake, that traitorous bastard is a collaborationist Vichy-Democrat, a blue-dog-Republican snake. He wants as little to be done about the exploitation of the nation as possible, so he and his doners can reap the rewards.

      Please primary all these dinosaurs, they were old when I was still young. I don’t know your process but please get more progressives in the house and send this current batch out to pasture

    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.

        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.

            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.

          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.

    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.

    “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.

        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.

      “Leader” of Senate Democrats. I put that in quotes because I’m not seeing any leadership out of the guy. He needs to go.
