Well, a step in the right direction... but Schumer still needs to retire already...
post
Schumer's just trying to keep his job.
This is obvious, which is why it mystifies me that performative progressives online aren't celebrating that they're taking over the Democratic Party. They're winning, but they still have to be all "neither party is pure enough for me" in posts.
Democratic Socialists are doing exactly what the Tea Party and then MAGA did to the GOP. Doesn't anyone think we'll all be better off without the Neoliberal DNC and with the DS DNC?
Is there anyone who'd be upset if chuck drowned in his own piss?
The Baileys would probably be discouraged.
I'd rather he were torn apart by wild dogs, but I'd settle for piss-drowning.
What if he drowned in their piss?
Ah expanding from the cavitations I see. Most distinguished good sir.
Quite an assumption!
Obligatory fuck Schumer, but even for the crusty old guard corporate democrats, winning the majority is crucial. Once a progressive candidate clears the hurdle to make a challenge, they have to fall in line. It’s that slim and that uncertain.
At least for now. They’re likely planning to drown him in bribes if he wins and hope that moderates him.
He needs him to vote for him for senator majority leader. After that he will shit all over him.
I’m worried about Democrats’ new (old) direction of not being the loser party. Who body-snatched Chuck?
Oh, you mean the guy who has been lying about a fictional couple that he thinks about when he casts his votes? Yeah, I trust him 100%.
I don't know anything about this other than Schumer being a fraudulent asshole. Vote Socialist / Leftist. Fuck Dems. And if Schumer is right about this person / anything, it's by accident or a lie.
“What people don’t understand is that a big tent is a strength, not a weakness,” Schumer said.
Wow, Charlie. Nobody understood that until you explained it to us. What a fucking political thinker.
I am hoping that anyone left of center finally learned their lesson from the last election. Vote with your heart in the primaries but come election time join hands with those closest to you and present a united front. Republicans are idiots but even they understand this. I voted for Sayed and I'm happy he won, but if it was Stevens I'd be getting behind her as well.
Good job. You're keeping Dems in power, ensuring they never have to change. I hate the current admin being in power and making people I care about at risk. It's the fault of Dems, not Leftists who want actual change.
You could have just said you haven't learned yet.
Have you ever considered the reason we are here is because you haven’t learned yet?
I am absolutely one of the reasons we are here. I voted third party in a swing state in 2016.
Vote as far left on every ballot but vote for the candidate that actually has a chance. It's that simple for me.
I too want the party pulled left. And the time to do that is in the primaries, which is exactly whats happening now.
How’d that primary strategy work out in 2024?
You are voting 3rd party in the primary but somehow fail to realize GOP and DNC are owned by the same interest. The illusion in the cave is that you think the DNC is left. (You call the DNC left of center above).
Voting to center right (DNC) when you want to be left of center will never shift American politics left. Trump is the boogeyman that gets you to abandon what you claim to stand for (progressivism).
MAGA co-opted the GOP by refusing to compromise. This shifted the GOP even further right. When progressives compromise the entire American political spectrum bell curve just shifts further right.
I understand that you think your approach will produce an immediate harm reduction. I am sure it will look that way, but the steady march to the right won’t stop if the left side of the spectrum caves while the right does not
I'm glad that the shift towards more progressive politics is being accepted by the establishment. It just makes sense even from a purely rational view of "my side wins", and if that's what it takes to enable actual change then so be it, regardless of what kind of politician chuck is on his own right.
Abdul El-Sayed’s victory is earthquake for Democratic Party old guard
