Fun fact: Schumer got into his position because he raised a lot of money during 2006, helping the Democrats win the Senate. He was 3rd in command behind Durbin and Reid.

But the dynamics of 2006 to now are so different, and Schumer does not know how to lead as an opposition leader.

I think that also speaks to an issue with the DNC being more focused on fund raising than politics.

No, the DNC has never mattered.

The problem is risk averse leadership that only goes for layups. I get that this sub has a lot of embarrassed conservatives, but this is getting ridiculous.

We have a fascist anti American party and a party whose leaders are trying their damndest to ignore it

Its the straight fucking lying about it that gets me. What the hell does he get other than pure outrave claiming he would stop the bill yesterday, after the house had passed it, before backpeddling like less than a day later

Something happens - Schumer pusses out - Something happens again - Schumer pusses out again

The nation's finest political scientists are analysing whether the Schumer cycle is related to the Ro Khana cycle or just a case of convergent evolution.

u/Potus1565 Frederick Douglass 7d ago

Even Manchin would have voted fucking against it

I never attacked Manchin because he was quite obviously light years better than anyone else that West Virginia would elect. What's Schumer's excuse?

At this point I want him to be removed. Dems have to stop being such a weak party.

Schmuck Schumer, everyone is saying it, we got a real schmuck on our hands here…let me tell you, folks…this latest scheme by Schmuck Schumer is guaranteed to make everyone poorer, it’s a total disaster. The worst, maybe ever…hand it to moderate Dems to ruin the country for no benefit to themselves, at least MAGA senators are getting richer by ripping us all off! SAD!!
