Chuck Schumer literally governs based off an imaginary republican family he made up in his head who he runs all of his policy decisions by before voting. He has talked about this openly and repeatedly, for years. He calls them the “Baileys” and they voted for Trump.
He’s worthless
Holy fuck that’s pathetic.
With Democrats like these it doesn’t take a genius to wonder why 1/3rd of the US didn’t show up to vote.
We’ve never had a government that put the needs of the people ahead of the wants of the rich. The closest we had was FDR, and even he only pushed the New Deal to stop us from demanding an even better deal.
Are you under the impression 1/3 of Americans made academic decisions to protest poor candidates by not voting?
1/3 of Americans didn’t vote because they’re uneducated, lazy slobs. Stop fooling yourself.
Why are you complicating things? Whos taking about academia? If people don’t see candidates that inspire them they stay home. This is pretty basic. The uneducated lazy slobs came out in droves for Trump whos vote share kept increasing, so why is it the uneducated slobs that dont like Trump didnt? Don’t fool yourself thinking all the slobs stayed home but also managed to vote for Trump. One group was inspired by the hate, and one group was uninspired by the lack of resistance.
So you truly believe that 1/3 of American voters didn’t vote in protest?
There’s that arrogant liberal hubris that rears its head around election time.
There’s that poorly executed strawman that’s all you have! Hooray!
Traitors! Bought and paid for by Citizens United.
Useless fucking losers
The midterms won’t save us. Pitchforks will.
Who needs the diet version of fascists?
Those that refuse to admit that is what they are
Their donors
WE. WILL. NEVER. GO. BACK.
I just don’t see how anyone can hear this and see them as effective leadership. Minority party or not. Like it makes me, a dedicated left wing person, not want to support democrats because they seem to have lost the plot
They haven’t lost the plot, they like the plot. They don’t agree with you, they don’t like you, they don’t want to help you.
Completely agree. There are no US politicians who are willing to offer social progress or even support middle-class workers. If you’re not a campaign donor, you can’t get shit in this country.
Not that it matters who votes for who. After the 2024 election, it’s obvious the winner isn’t decided by votes anyway.
It doesn’t help that most of them are so old and rich they’re completely detached from the realities of the people they’re SUPPOSED to represent and serve.
Many of them either have never been anything other than at least upper class, or their time spent below upper class is decades away and very very irrelevant compared to those of us who are not, especially during this time.
They do NOT represent us. How the hell can anyone expect them to serve us?
PRIMARY ALL OF THE FUCKING DEMOCRATS!!!
Unless they are actively opposing this regime, they are complicit. Full stop. Some worse than others, but just replacing Schumer won’t do shit if the rest of the Democrats in Congress are the same milk toast centrist corporate assholes.
They are going to be primaried, right
RIGHT?
“Democrats agree with fascism and wont oppose it.”
Tell us something we don’t know.
Yet people get mad when you say both parties are working together.
Not so much working together but definitely share the same masters.
But that’s “bOtH sIdEs” thinking!!! Don’t you know even just saying that means you hate humanity?!?!?!
I am so disappointed in Jeffries. When Pelosi stepped back, I thought we might get some change but that was dumb of me to think a Democrat would have a spine. They are so floppy.
He has a spine. He faces criticism and outrage from people like you every day. He likes what is happening. Wealthy Democratic Party donors like what is happening. They want a paramilitary police state.
The police state has been around longer then we’ve all been alive
Yes of course but they are creating the pretext to suppress and disperse all kinds of organized action. Protests, strikes, etc. Once people are normalized to “ICE agents” shooting people in the streets, going door-to-door raiding people’s houses searching for “illegal immigrants”, then it’s only one step further to do the same for “domestic terrorists” who end up being legal observers, journalists, labor organizers, political activists, etc.
In the 1960’s and 70’s they did these things too with the FBI and whatnot, targeting people with worldwide recognition like Malcolm X, MLK, Fred Hampton, etc. but it was clumsy and blunt as a tool, not feasible for larger scale, plus economic conditions were comparatively better, so they didn’t fear anything quite resembling a complete destabilization or revolution. Now they do, and they figure they have the tools and the capacity to do an authoritarian militarily occupied police state at scale.
I called him for being a black Pelosi when they installed him
Lost hope in it as soon as she announced a successor instead of letting anyone else try.
Especially as he’s as strong and effective as a wet paper bag
Dear Leader has something on both of them.
Or just Schumer thinks the issue is the person leading ICE and DHS, not that they have too much impunity.
They always call for cuts like this when they are not in power then boost funding when they get back in.
Stop voting for these incumbent “establishment Democrats.” These boring corporatists who only care about their phony baloney jobs. They have never cared about ordinary people. Vote for Democrats who want real change.
Better yet abandon the party all together, their loyalty will always be to wall street
