Wonder if he'll get "primaried". Chuck's definately lost touch with the democratic base. How he handled the NYC mayoral race demonstrated that.

Weak leadership is why we are in this Trump era in the first place. Leadership comes from the Top down look at how Republicans emulate Trump.

Because he's a corrupt piece of shit, owned by the same moneyed interests that own the Republicans.

"Why does Schumer keep trying to cave?"

How will we ever find the answer to this complicated question? I mean, if you just assume that he's compromised trash, and barely better than his GOP colleagues, then everything would be explained, but that obviously can't be the solution.

His imaginary Republican family told him so.

Because that’s his nature, presumably

Stop pretending these oligarch lackeys in public office are "caving" or "surrendering" or "giving in".

They are doing what they are paid to do by their donors.

Money.

Just a reminder that this past election shows that people are absolutely fed the hell up with the current spinless democratic party. Donate to the progressives, never donate to the DNC and its ilk, and vote for them in the primaries to get these collaborators out of office. The change is happening but like the Beastie Boys say, it takes time to build.

Just hope that these collaborators don't vote to remove the right to vote because I can see them doing this.

Because if they get rid of the filibuster he might have to start doing his job.

It's Schumer, that's what he does, that's what he's always done.

It might be time to rename the Dems to the Controlled Opposition Party (COP). Seems like a nice counterbalance to the GOP.

SACO == Schumer always chickens out

Vote in/ allow to be voted in psychopants and weak willed and you get a crumbling society. It's not complicated.

Follow the money. Who owns him? Ask them about the why.

... trying?

Why Does Water Keep Trying To Flow Downhill?

He wants the good old days back, when both parties shared equally in the grift and everyone in the political elite understood what the game was and how to keep it running. Schumer gets that to keep the machine running (that has made them all very wealthy and powerful while working about 85 days a year) he's going to have to go under the boot and take us all with him.

Schumer is part of an old american politics where there was a cordial relationship between both sides and the cost of sacrificing the interests of the constituents was largely negligible - no one knew what was going on so no one could complain (pre-24hr news cycle and pre infinite news outlets online or in public). Times changed. People notice everything. Schumer is not built for this time where everything he does is under a microscope and where consequences are seen and felt. He is acting as if he can just pretend that things are like they were in the 90s where he can show up, gladhand with donors and his colleagues across the isle, cash a check, work 4 months out of the year, and insider trade. He cant. The problem is that he is also intrinsically part of the democratic party machinery so no one can force him out. He needs to be primaried at a minimum.

He wants to become the head coach of the Washington Generals.

Schumer is more centrist than liberal.

He’s not “trying” — he is caving.

Simple:

In world politics, USA Moderate Democrats are Center-Right on the scale

So they might as well be 2 sides of the same party

Sure there are some good moderates but majority have been failing us for too long.

So look into/research/volunteer for Run For Something. They train Progressive candidates and won many of their elections couple days ago when we won big

They take no AIPAC, & actively make sure their members do not. They are growing nationally their bench & have on Substack RFS Feel Good. Which weekly updates people with accomplishments they have collectively completed over the years

He isn't caving... this was planned.

The ratchet keeps turning it all to the MAGA side.
