Don’t get me wrong, Schumer is terrible, I’m just surprised. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 days ago (2 children) One of the best arguments against Schumer is not his centrism but that he's just bad at the job. His bumbling smarmy media responses, his bad senate picks, and his last minute defection on the Republican spending bill are all just bad things for a leader to do. Slotkin may be a centrist, but she's also a newer senator and can recognize incompetence rather than accepting that you just need to defer to seniority. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago* (1 child) isnt he also the richest aipac senator too he has motives to keep it that way, hes worth like 85+million. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago Highest AIPAC donations among Democratic senators in believe. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago (1 child) I'm just as baffled.
