For context, Marjorie Taylor Greene has said more in Omar’s defense than Schumer.
She’s trying to make her own persona/platform/character, so she’s craving attention hardcore.
For sure, and don’t get me wrong, this is meant as a condemnation of Schumer, not praise for Greene.
I wouldn’t believe him if he said he stands in support of Omar, but he doesn’t even care enough to lie like Marge did. Schumer isn’t even pretending to give a shit about anything that isn’t Israel. There’s no veil anymore. These old fucks are too lazy to even play politics in their job as a politician.
I think Schumer knows he’s a dead man walking. He won’t be reelected in '28, and he won’t be Majority Leader if they take back the Senate. Jefferies (unfortunately) has a shot of hanging in; he’s just as weak and feckless as Schumer, but he kept his caucus together on the shutdown, while Schumer caved. That’s why even normie centrist Democrats want him out, and why he can’t even be bothered to pretend he’s a political leader anymore.
Schumer is the epitome of the establishment.
There’s nothing good about Schumer, so that’s not applicable.
As if we needed further evidence that Schumer is a worthless, contemptible piece of shit.
Chuck needs to go. Come on New York you are fucking the country with this shit.
It’s cause he’s racist
chuck the cuck
Now that’s an insult to cucks. Schumer has no redeeming qualities
Don’t worry he’s typing up a very stern response that will be sent out after Christmas.
Why would Israel’s controlled opposition in their colonial-occupational government openly oppose the deportation of his enemy? Of course he is rejoicing with his fellow Epsteinite-unipartymen, raping children and drinking their blood on some new private island.
Chuck is as much an enemy of the people as Trump, but more insidious than outright evil, by presenting himself as an ally to and leader of the left-wing. He’s nothing more than a bulwark for the Zionazis and a concierge to the other powerbrokers.
Maybe he has the same minor condition like Mitch McConnell. Must be awesome to have all these ‘experienced’ people still in congress without any term limits. Surely does not stand in the way of progress because they fully comprehend the modern world.
I’ll say a few words: fuck, shit, dammit
Nah, fuck chuck shitbird
To be fair, Trump is intentionally doing this at this time to try to distract from the high gas prices, grocery prices, etc, his war caused. Immigration is, sadly, the thing he polls the best on, especially in red states. Republicans are desperately defending senate seats in red states like Texas, Alaska, Nebraska, and more. The more we talk about immigration, the less gas prices will be on past Republican voters minds, the more likely they will be to go out and vote for Republicans.
Schumer would love to have Democrats or Independents that caucus with Democrats in states like Texas, Alaska and Nebraska. Remember it will be 6 years before they are up for election again, that’s a long time to have these seats. This also may be a once and a lifetime chance for Democrats to get seats in states like these, unless Trump is stupid enough to keep the Iran War going through another couple of election cycles.
This is like the 2006 midterms under Bush. 2006 flipped a bunch of Senate seats, then 2008 flipped even more, and the Democrats ended up with 59 seats, and a Republican flipped to give Democrats 60 which enabled them to override the filibuster without completely ending the filibuster.
Why would he the DSA squad will endorse him anyways.
So, are you going to do everything possible to depose him? Or will you keep throwing a tantrum, refuse to vote, and let the regressives steamroll more?
Since he explicitly said that his job is “too keep the left pro-Israel,” his silence is perfectly in line with his job description.
It is enough to make one wonder in what country the Baelis reside.
That’s cause he’s a pos who enables this regime and Israel’s too.
Schumer and Jefferies both need to be removed.
I genuinely think things will devolve to the point that Americans using political violence against the establishment democrats is the only path forward. It’s fucked up. But I feel like it’s the only way America doesn’t devolve into a nation ending civil war. Actually. Cuz looking from the outside I don’t see the outcomes of any of your elections moving the needle anymore.
Voting out republicans doesn’t solve the problem of establishment democrats preventing newly elected democrats from fixing anything.
edit: Hopefully I’m wrong. But this is what I believe will happen.
I don’t know that violence is entirely necessary, but working toward the DSA becoming its own thing and letting the Establishment Dems crash in to the hard reality that nobody supported them in the first place, they just disapproved of them less than the absolute mayhem on the right should probably happen.
Upvoted; but please understand, I’m not describing what I want to happen. I’m applying my weapons grade autistic pattern recognition to my background in attending and paying attention to history classes.
The Republicans and Democrats are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.
I agree with you, it’s not necessary. But I’m warning you that it’s inevitable. Those are not mutually exclusive!
Obviously not everyone is going to agree with me on this. Hopefully I’m wrong.
I don’t think anyone should rule it out, I just don’t think the death blow to the elites is going to come from partisan politics anyway. I think we’re past the tipping point where the system as built can be salvaged.
I just don’t think the death blow to the elites is going to come from partisan politics anyway.
That’s beyond the scope of what I’m saying. I only mentioned wealthy elites to illustrate the role establishment dems play in subverting progress.
MMW USA will either play an integral role in the global working class uprising, or no longer exist in it’s current form by that time.
The only way the dsa will ever have any actual power is if they tea party the democratic party. Remaining a third party will in most districts in the US just make them a spoiler that gets republicans elected.
This is the answer. If people want change, they need to get active and primary democrats with the candidates they want.
Wishcasting some kind of third party into existence is naive and the outcome is we get more Republicans in power and life gets remarkably shittier as a consequence.
If we somehow get ranked choice voting, it’d be different. But right now there is only 2 viable choices in the general. Do what you can for the primary and hopefully you feel better about voting in the general. Sitting out or voting third party is just helping conservatives and their agenda being waged on America.
I specifically didn’t say their own party. Although there’s something to be said for fighting for a 3 party system, it’s simply not practical given the structure of the constitution. The only way to have an effective 3+ party system is starting over from scratch. The USA would not survive such a ground-up overhaul.
Yeah, I dont think reforming the Dems is possible anymore. I had hopes but it increasingly just seems like me huffing hopium. Dems wont charge your family for the bullet for your execution, but they will still pull the trigger when their klpetocrat rulers tell them to-- same as the GOP. Some would say that lesser evil is the best we can hope for, I think we should all disagree and have a real government.
If we’re taking violence, I’ll start with Republican’s, thanks.
But Schumer is Republican.
lmao no you wont
Not the way you seem to want propaganda man
Yeah, the Murc’s Law vibes are strong in this thread. Attacking…Democrats? First? What is even happening?
Dem Centrist leaders will cheer you on, then knife you in the back when you’re fighting, then when you have finally got the republicans vlying anquished on the floor, the dems will lift them back up and forgive everything they did. Centrists are as much your enemy as your friend. Its literally in their name, “centrist”.
I said start with, not end with.
Which is exactly my point fyi. If establishment democrats continue to undermine the democratic will of their voters than inevitably their voters will turn to extra-democratic solutions.
Call it what you will. Says more about you than it does me.
Americans don’t get to gripe non-Americans wishing acceleration on them. Full stop.
So…. You don’t advocate for violence against MAGA, just the Democrats. Got it.
Welcome to fuckin Lemmy where every fucking thing the republicans do is a democrats fault for some dumb fuckin tankie-ass reason.
It’s a Murc’s Law paradise in some of these threads. It’s beyond ridiculous.
If I wanted to get that kind of opinion, it’s all over the place in every corner of the “liberal media” and the extremely right wing media.
Yeah. I’m seeing that. It’s like they aren’t clever enough to hide their bias though.
I think they were saying that it will take both. So it’s a bit of a both sides argument, but really it’s an accelerationist or total collapse argument if you really follow through on those actions.
Anyone that doesn’t actively advocate voting for the most progressive candidate in every primary and then preventing republicans from gaining power at any cost in the general is an accelerationist.
Yeah it sucks, but it’s the only rational solution in the current rules.
