      To be clear:

      I don’t think ANYONE thought schumer had a spine. But we at least expected him to do the absolute bare minimum rather than campaign for the republicans themselves.

          Could we maybe not attack our LGBTQ+ friends?

          There are much better ways to insult a traitorous piece of shit that doesn’t involve resorting to homophobic language and insults.

            This isn’t homophobic my friend. Except if you deny cis men bodily pleasures just because you want to categorize them.

            Besides that, he uses it as a prosthetic to keep him upright.

              Ah, my mistake. I wasn’t aware you were… complimenting schumer for being comfortable with his own sexuality?

              Do better. Our friends need to know we are allies since they are already on the front lines whether they like it or not.

                Implying the presence of a dildo as a structural member(ha) doesn’t negate or speak hatefully about the use of sex toys or people who use them, but it does imply he was being submissive to someone else(GOP). This has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ support. Sex toys don’t belong to just them.

                I need to do better? You were the one running to conclusions.

              They need to constantly be the center of attention and a pick-me.

              Schumer is male. The big schoolyard insult is that he has a dildo up his ass.

              There are two ways to interpret that. One is that he is very comfortable with his sexuality and enjoys pressure on his prostate. The other being that he wants to have sex with a man or is “submissive” (and calling THAT an insult is also pretty shitty) and so forth.

              The chud-lites are pretending that it totally wasn’t an insult and they were just giving a non sequitor about how schumer is comfortable in his sexuality and that anyone who thinks they were calling him gay (as an insult) is the real villain. I would say that whether people can even think that with a straight face says a lot about them as a person.

            I for one agree that kind of sexualized criticism is inappropriate. I think a reasonable person would read it as trying to demean Schumer by associating him with other-than-straight behavior.

      I saw him in Prospect Park (Brooklyn) once and he legitimately was walking around with atrocious posture. Funny, in retrospect.

      It was always Pelosi calling the shots (for better or worse). Schumer was always there as a fundraiser.

        Pelosi has a LOT of conflicting loyalties and interests but she is a leader. She is not the leader I want, but she is a leader.

        Schumer has actively undermined Democrat efforts. It is hard to argue why we should even fight for Senate seats (and by association, House) when he is actively going to give up what little strength we have so that he can go home earlier.

        The Democrats need to make him stand down as minority leader ASAP and I have repeatedly said as much when calling in at the various levels.
