    His progressive critics? Apparently you are a progressive If you don’t want your neighbor to go bankrupt becausee their kid has leukemia or you want to feed the poor. American sucks so bad. It’s a shit hole country.

    Either he was a “silent partner” in this or has lost any control of the party. Either way that’s not someone that should keep their job. With leaders like him the Dems may as well not even run.

  3. Yet a lot of people are providing cover for him on here. Apparently him being unable to lead the caucus and get his votes in line isn’t his fault and doesn’t imply poor leadership.

    Schumer is a wolf in sheep’s clothing for dems. He also knows he’s probably on the way out so he’s gonna do whatever he can to make as much money as possible. Which right now, is folding to the right.

  5. Schumer should resign as minority leader. He failed on the narrative and leader front in every way. The Dems were never going to win this with Schumer. It was a hard win in the fist place, but Schumer was never up to the fight. It isn’t his nature. He is a 9 to 5 guy who got the office by waiting it out.

  6. Yeah, this needs to be it for him. The Democratic Ancien Regime has got to go. Pelosi is a good start, now Schumer, then more. The party needs a purge of these antiquated voices. Their ideas and strategies are simply obsolete now.

  7. The way I see it, we have 2 paths:

    1. ⁠join and do everything in our power to take over local parties and committees, removing the levers of power from these corporate shills and influencing strategy to align with our goals. Or;
    2. ⁠do nothing and complain online

    Dudes gotta go. He cost us affordable healthcare for at least a year, if not indefinitely. What was even the point of the shutdown if he’s just gonna cave and get nothing?

  9. That’s because people think the Dem Senate follow his lead in lockstep like the Republicans do for Trump.

  10. I hate the Tea Party/MAGA, but here’s what they did right: They completely took over the Republican Party by **voting in the primaries.** They pushed for Tea Party/MAGA candidates in every election at every level, and they did it for more than a decade.

    That’s what progressives and democratic socialists need to do. It’s gonna be harder, because we won’t have billionaires astroturfing to keep us enraged and turnout jacked up. We’ll have to pay attention and act with intention. But we must be actively, righteously pissed off with warrior-like focus on breaking the corporate hold over critical blocks of the Democratic Party.

    You don’t want to vote for some Chuck Schumer-type in the general? Fine. **But you BETTER show up** to beat him in the primaries. Canvas your neighbors to beat him in the primaries. Drag 10 friends to the polls with you to beat him in the primaries. Make it a mission and turn it into a fucking party when you win.

    When you lose, lick your wounds and move on. Sulking accomplishes nothing.

  11. Remember folks, Congress can’t reign in Trump’s campaign of terror if Congress is closed.

  12. This is nothing new. Schumer and the rest of the party should have been removed in 2020 when they voted against union labor and screwed the railroad employees. Im guessing most of you dont remember that and didn’t really care at the time.

    By the time these 8 people are up for reelection, no one will remember this. They will stay home for the primaries, fail their responsibilities as a citizen, and bitch because it doesnt get any better.

    The fault of our current political situation lies firmly with the American people. NO ONE else. We are a lazy, apathetic, greedy nation full of whiners who can’t be bothered to stand up and demand our elected representatives do their job.

    The real blame lays at the feet of Dick Durbin minority whip and the illusion of choice that party politics has led Americans to be dissatisfied with the Senate chamber. This goes back to even Joe Lieberman shooting down the public option all those years ago.

    Americans are fed up with the Senate acting high and mighty with the filibuster doing nothing more than protecting senators from facing the repercussions of their actions.

    You can only lean on kicking the can down road before Americans start losing faith in the chamber.

    For any centrist chickenheads out there, the moderate position between fascism and nonfascism is indeed fascism.

    They were in the strongest position possible. Most the country was behind them. And they just…gave up. What that fuck!?
