ANALYSIS: The Senate Democratic leader is increasingly finding himself out of step with both his party’s voting base and his colleagues in Congress, writes John Bowden

Consider he can’t handle to NOT voting for another fascist cabinet member, yeah, screw this ineffective asshole.

    “Struggles” is being generous. He is intentionally not fighting. The elderly leadership and all the AIPAC loyalists within the party major road blocks to any form of fighting back.

    He’s not struggling to meet the moment, he’s struggling to hold his own party down. Make no mistake, that traitorous bastard is a collaborationist Vichy-Democrat, a blue-dog-Republican snake. He wants as little to be done about the exploitation of the nation as possible, so he and his doners can reap the rewards.

      Please primary all these dinosaurs, they were old when I was still young. I don’t know your process but please get more progressives in the house and send this current batch out to pasture

        Schumer’s seat is only up in 2028 but if enough of his allies - preferably in safe seats - get primaried in 26 and the new progressives hold them in the general election (and hopefully win some back from GOP) I expect he will be forced out of leadership for the next Congress

        It has to have enough shift to progressives or else he will take credit and stay on. He will also be ousted if Democrats lose again but in that scenario MAGA will continue unchecked for 2 more years at least

    I have despised this craven, insipid, spineless weenie ever since he collaborated with a clumsy Republican smear campaign to ruin Al Franken’s career.

    Since then, he has been ineffective at best, and has been a cowardly collaborator at worst. It’s time for this loser to be removed from office, let AOC take his place, and be replaced as Senate Minority Leader by someone bold enough to go toe-to-toe with the MAGA Nazis.

    “Polls come and go. Our party is united. We’re on our front foot, we’re stepping forward, going after Trump and having real success,” Schumer insisted.

    Nothing said here reflects reality.

        That piece of shit was coming here on his stupid book tour. Friend and I had plans to go challenge him before he cancelled when he realized he’s unpopular. Schedule a new tour, Chucky. We’re dying to see you.
