“My job is to keep the left pro-Israel.” -Chuck Schumer
Maybe it’s time some folks who haven’t thought about going into politics to get in there. I don’t know what to do anymore than strap up and put up…
This guy gets the best healthcare for life. Fuck him and everyone who voted to end the shutdown.
Chuck Schumer joins Merrick Fucking Garland, as Americas greatest failures ! Useless fucking cunts, who sold out their country!
This dumb motherfucker. He’s a Republican plant as far as I’m concerned.
Snatching Defeat from the jaws of victory, good ol’ dems. Never letting a simple thing like success get in the way of the bullet they so badly want to marry to their foot
In fairness, it wasn’t Schumer this time.
He handpicked democrats that they felt were “safe” and arent up for re-election in 2026.
This is classic DNC as controlled opposition. DNC and RNC are the same thing.
Its time for a new progressive party. Its time to go scorched earth and tank every election untill they not only allow progressives in the DNC but actually embrace them. I think its the only way to get reverse citizens united.
Senate Minority Leader Schumer
He’s either complicit in this scheme now that local elections are over, or ineffective at wielding the whip and keeping his caucus in line. Unless there’s a big public schism and this gang of eight get cut out, then he’s also feckless to boot.
I’m talking scorched earth retribution too, there needs to be a message sent and received to all in the party that breaking ranks for self-interest will cost them and their careers personally. Nobody gets to fold without consequence when the rest of your party’s elected members risked themselves and their position.
I call bullshit on that. He didn’t personally cast a vote, but you can bet your ass this move emanated from the highest levels of the DNC.
Yup. It’s all kayfabe.
Everything Chuck says is just calculated and performative, just like when Josh Hawley pretended to give a shit about the impacts of the BBB on Missourians.
Watch Schumer answer questions about Israel or Mamdani and you’ll see a lying weasel who thinks he’s funny/cute while he’s lying to us.
He thinks he’s our grandpa pulling a coin out of our ear and winking and leaving us in awe…
He is the Senate leader, of course it’s on him.
Not only that, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re all either retiring or not up for reelection until 2029.
He organized the vote, he secured the votes, he set the schedule and did everything to make it happen.
Don’t be fooled because he voted against it at the last second. He’s the goddamn senate minority leader, none of this happens without his oversight. They are treating the American people the same exact way Trump treats his base: like you’re an idiot and can be fooled easily by pageantry and performatism.
No way he didn’t sign off on this. I wouldn’t be too quick to let him off the hook.

Schumer voted against the deal. Place blame where it belongs:
John Fetterman
Catherine Masto
Jacky Rosen
Angus King
Maggie Hassan
Tim Kaine
Dick Durbin
Jeanne Shaheen
These are the ones who caved.
Aw Tim Kaine? He seemed cool when I lived in VA as a kid…guess he got bought up.
Like the others, he pussed out.
Are people down voting because he voted to open the vote? I’m so confused, all of this is so damn confusing.
People are downvoting because they’re using this to fulfill their pre-existing hatred of Schumer. Even if it doesn’t make any sense.
Probably because it is naive to think that Schumer didn’t approve or even push for the Democrats to capitulate.
I’m sorry, it’s naive to not believe your dumbfuck, baseless conspiracy theory?
Other way around, champ.
It’s because Schumer worked to get this to happen, then bowed out at the end so he could pretend he had nothing to do with it. He was the architect and the driving force behind this capitulation.
So people are downvoting MiddleAgesModem for falling for a blatantly obvious attempt by Schumer to redirect blame.
It’s because Schumer worked to get this to happen, then bowed out at the end so he could pretend he had nothing to do with it.
What have you read that proves that to be true?
He was the architect and the driving force behind this capitulation.
Again, based on what?
So people are downvoting MiddleAgesModem for falling for a blatantly obvious attempt by Schumer to redirect blame.
I have more upvotes than downvotes, in case you didn’t notice. Maybe not everyone agrees with your unsubstantiated accusations. Some of us still need proof to form our opinions. You disregard proof so you can maintain your inflexible opinion.
It’s because Schumer worked to get this to happen, then bowed out at the end so he could pretend he had nothing to do with it.
Absolute fucking bullshit. Pathetic fucking lies so you can carry on with your pre-existing hatred of Schumer. He did exactly what you said you wanted him to do and now you’re blaming him for something? Stupid. Dumb fucking baseless conspiracy theory, I swear you guys are no better than Trumpers.
He was the architect and the driving force behind this capitulation.
Prove it, dumbass. You’re just a progressive dipshit blatantly lying to stick it to the “establishment Dems”.
So people are downvoting MiddleAgesModem for falling for a blatantly obvious attempt by Schumer to redirect blame.
I have 17 upvotes and 7 downvotes, dumbfuck. Do you know what numbers are?
He didn’t do ‘exactly what I said I wanted him to do,’ don’t put words in my mouth and lay off the insults.
As for ‘prove it,’ what proof would you accept without degenerating to more namecalling and flagrant ignorance of current events? The fact that the only senators claiming Schumer did a good job and is ‘solid with the caucus’ are the 8 Democrats that flipped? Levin and McMorrow outright stating they no longer support Schumer as senate minority leader due to his actions? House Democrats like Jefferies and Khanna also stating that he didn’t fight and needs replaced? Wahls stating that the Democrats who voted were given his blessing, and motherfucking Jeanne Shaheen herself- one of the very democrats that voted to capitulate- directly confirmed on Fox News Schumer was involved the whole time.
Spice Hoarder asked why you were getting downvoted, not why you were negative, and I answered that question. Also, for the record, when I did answer that question, you WERE in the negative. And judging by this reply, you should have stayed there.
You know… if I was a Russian disinfo gremlin desperate for something to pivot to after the whole “my name is Mamdani” spanking they just got I’d probably also be trying to amplify the whole “The Dems are cowards” messaging. Problem is that, thanks to years of their machinations, more people are actually checking sources and reading details now. Good.
If Republicans pulled this shit on John Thune, he would primary the crap out of them.
What is Schumer going to do?
It IS his fault.
I was thinking the same thing.
I knew Schumer wasn’t one of the defectors, but they’ve got his name right at the top.
He started the initiative by lowballing the Healthcare and these chucklefucks doubled down. If he had stuck to the plan this would be far less likely as an outcome.
As the top Dem in the senate it is his fault because he started it. Plus we are in this position because he did the same shit in the spring.
Party schism time.
No need for Russia to do or say anything in this case, Democrats did this to themselves
Money talks. The donor class needed 8 dems to end the shutdown and turn on the money fountain again, and they got them. If they had needed 25 dems to cave, they would have gotten 25. If it was (somehow) critical to maintaining their wealth that 40 republicans vote for the “Trans and Immigrants are Actually The Best Bill”, then 40 republicans will vote for it. Congressional outcomes have nearly nothing to do with voter preferences, you can look up studies on exactly how that has become totally desynced the last century, especially since Citizen’s United.
Citizens United is where this country really went wrong.
If money is power, then capitalism is a form of government, and that is exactly what we see happening.
Country has been wrong a long time, but much more transparently so.
Can you do some leg work for us and link a study or 2?
This is probably the most famous one, all the way back from 2014! https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/abs/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B
And here’s an OK video on the study (more biased than the study itself but very easy to understand): https://youtu.be/5tu32CCA_Ig

The Art of the Kneel
This decrepid old bastard needs to step aside. Or get shoved out of the way.
Literally not working for us. They work for rich government contractors who want to get paid.
Schumer joins the republicunts in telling us to just lay back and let it happen…
This is just a case of the right meeting the far right on the far right demands.
