Well sounds like the Democratic leadership to aggressively court disgruntled voters and listening and addressing their concerns is off to a great start with this.
Chuck is a big reason in the rise of Trumpism. He has been weak and only cares about Israel.
How sad you all assume he’s not corrupt and is just taking in big $.
Um Ackshually, he doesn’t seem to be taking in big $, at least according to his financial disclosures (PDF). Most recent estimates of his net worth are in the $7 million range, but that also counts his house in Park Slope, which is probably worth over $3mil now but I doubt he paid that. And a bunch more is in his retirement account. He’s not struggling by any means, but he doesn’t have “Fuck You” money like Elon has.
There are a lot of memes going around about how rich some of these politicians are but they are mostly fake
He’s like Biden, he’s not even corrupt, he just ficks over the people for the love of the game
He cares about his fictional moderate Republican family.
He doesn’t work for the American people he works for Israel
AOC polls way better than Schumer among all registered voters in New York (yes, including Republicans). She’s going to primary him in 2028.
Wish it could be sooner, but her success can leverage off Mamdani’s progress, should all go well…
So did Bernie. We all saw where that got him.
Schumer is hand-in-hand with the republicans. What they can’t win, he loses for the democrats.
Every one of the fucking rotating villains needs to go. You vote for any of that shit, you’re out.
Boomers have overstayed their welcome.
This isn’t a generational issue, this is all out class warfare.
I mean, tons of more boomers in the upper class after they killed all the unions that they benefited from and shipped all the jobs out for globalization
I think its both. Boomers have a lot to answer for and have been abysmal stewards of the world. They fail by nearly every metric. They are the worst generation.
There’s a class connection with generations and privatization.
That’s true but don’t fool yourself. There are younger dirty politicians waiting to replace them if we aren’t careful, and probably in some places even if we are.
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
I used to think it was Russia that had infiltrated US politics. I mean it did, but Israel got there first.
Israel, Russia, Trendy Aqua, whatever. Ultimately the USA has failed to maintain its obligations to civil society, allowing those who operate the mechanisms of power and policy to be susceptible to such exploitation. Classic blunder.
The US also got there first. Sure there are outside forces acting on it but let’s be real, they have a lot more control over themselves than this and choose to be shit.
We put our political system up for sale and are enemies bought it. I think its mostly our own fault.
Hey leave me outta that shit.
fair point. its the “royal we” where you are only a member insomuch as you have any role in actually operating or changing it. Collective responsibility is a slippery topic.
Yes but look at the long game. Imagine what happens when we lose relevance. It’ll be Israel vs Russia.

He’s an enabler, like that of an addict. Enablers need to be held accountable, just the same.
They can get rid of him anytime they want. If they don’t, it’s because they want him in that role.
Ain’t it weird that we can all see these politicians that make weird, nonsensical decisions like Schumer does are Israeli plants, but the politicians who sit right beside them everyday when they go to work can’t? Either they are willingly stupid or just trying to play dumb in our faces.
ICE is a domestic terrorist organization. Anyone who even conceives of throwing more money at it or thinking these animals just have to be “trained” is not living in a state of reality. ICE agents act exactly like the cartels and do not value human life. They are damaged goods, who come from a different culture, that are not compatible with American society. The only solution for them is hard therapy and those dogs are too far gone for that.
Did you ever watch parks and rec? Do you remember the episode where Ben is working on a senatorial campaign and the Senator is essentially a robot? He comes out, makes some generic statements on camera, says a few scripted lines to the people around him “stay cool, it’s a scorcher out there!”, and then goes into a room and stares blankly at a wall until they need him for something else.
That is essentially what a good portion of our politicians are like. They make no decisions. They have no opinions or thoughts of their own. They are surrounded by handlers every day who tell them what to wear, where to go, what to say, and how to vote. They have zero autonomy of their own. And unfortunately, this is far more apparent on the left rather than the right. I don’t get why people are surprised that the Dem leadership has been so ineffectual; it’s essentially just a collection of cardboard cutouts with voice recorders going “When they go low, we go high!”
When they pulled that bullshit to oust David Hogg cuz he was actually trying to do shit was my final straw for dems. Some fresh young blood comes in and wants to make progress and their first thought is “we need to get rid of him.” Fuck establishment dems they are absolute piles of dog shit and they aren’t even the worst party we have in America!!
He’s a fucking collaborator
Guys, you just don’t understand. His job, as he stated, is “to fight like hell for Israel.” This other stuff is just peanuts for him.
Not just Israel. He’s also here for the Baileys!
From Wikipedia:
Schumer has long claimed that his political decisions are guided by an imaginary middle-class couple, Joe and Eileen Bailey (initially O’Reilly), swing voters living in the Long Island suburb of Massapequa
Specifically an imaginary couple who voted for Trump twice. His guiding imaginary couple are Republicans.
If you haven’t seen it, here is a link to Jon Oliver’s piece about Schumer and the Bailey’s and how the imaginary swing voters he bases his policy decisions on are really Republicans.
Fuck those people. I’m from long island, I know people from Massapequa. They probably love ICE.
I’m from long Island
Sorry to hear that mate.
So does Schumer
Even better, Trump takes the focus off Gaza, that’s a big win for Schumer.
Maybe he needs to go be a politician in Israel then because I’d prefer that he “fight like hell” for the US at the moment.
Maybe he should join the Knesset if he cares more for Israel than the US.
It’s a conflict of interest for sure.
