Absolutely useless
You have meek fuckers in leadership because that’s who the corporate/wealthy donors want there. If you want to get rid of them you’re going to have to get rid of the money and influence that put them there.
Cuck Schumer
Time to take out the trash
They’re not meek, they profit from the status quo.
These people have no business in governing modern day people, these dinosaurs need to be let go.
He’s not meek he’s corrupt
If you’re old enough to draw Social Security, you shouldn’t hold office. Period.
I know what you mean and mostly agree with upper age limits on office holders but children can receive social security survivors benefits. It is not just (although mainly) old age pensioners.
Dems agree to set Social Security age to 105
From 2008 through Bidens term, when the GOP wanted to use the threat of a Govt shutdown against Democrats as leverage negotiating as a minority party. Now, the Democrats want to use the same methods as a way to have some power. The problem with this line of thinking is that the current administration does not want most of the Government open. They want to shut it down and give DOGE time to make sure none of the employees come back. This is the total opposite of the leverage the GOP had over Democrats who only wanted to keep the Government open. It was never going to work and they would have just been helping DOGE complete their goals. After all their goal is to dismantle as much of the Federal Govt as possible.
So what should the Democrats do? Open another government?
Trump cant do nearly as much damage to a government thats utterly closed down. If the dems had a single stone shared between the lot of them they’d shut it all down. Or maybe the dems are corrupt, but its the same outcome either way.
Here’s the actual story, Schumer relented one day after GOP and DNC megadonors threaten to pull funding away from 10 Democrats.
So the super rich really do control everyone and everything.
Who knew?
Historians and artists have been trying to tell us this for years.
We didn’t listen, but we liked their work.
Anyone else get the feeling he’s been compromised?
He’s very dependent on donations from the banking industry, it’s all there on OpenSecrets. Both NY senators voted to end cloture because that’s where wall street is. Gillibrand seems to be avoiding criticism for some reason but it’s the same exact story for her. Wall street was already suffering from the Trump tariff decline and couldn’t take any more from a shutdown.
Well he’s a zionist. And the zionists bought both parties but preferred trump in power. So yeah.
You mean like recently? No. It’s been a lot more than a feeling since 2016, for me at least. A known fact I guess you could call it?
I felt that about the lot of them since the state of the union address.
they’re giving off strong “fuck you, got mine” vibes.
I doubt any of them realize the following though.
What do you get if you take everything away from a person?
you get what you fucking deserve.
Only if you’re ready for a decades long campaign to flip towns, cities, districts, and state level legislatures like it took the republicans from 1972 to just a month ago.
That’s what we’re up against.
The US needs to break the two-party system so minor parties and independents actually have a chance at representation.
Of course there’s no incentive for the establishment to do that. Is there any way for new candidates to run with the major parties, but on a platform to introduce preferential voting when they have the numbers? I don’t know much about factions within US parties, but they certainly exist in my country, and can transform parties quickly if they think they have election-winning appeal.
It would have to happen bottom-up, as you say, so people can get comfortable with such a big change. Also, people are much more likely to elect independents at a local level.
Gotta move to direct voting.
Lol Trump called Schumer a “Palestinian” (now a threat) and this fucker just rolls over.
and muslim groups objected to the dehuanization of the word ‘palestinian’ becoming a slur, while zionist groups objected to trump calling a jewish guy a palestinian. You cant make this stuff up.
Meanwhile AIPAC continues to control our government and Americans try hard not to pay any attention to that issue, even though our entire government operating as a mercenaryfor hire to the highest corporate or nation state bidder is probably the defining issue of our time.
We’re not going to give Donald Trump what he wants, so we’re going to pass this spending bill that gives him everything he wants! That’ll how 'im!
Donald Trump wants the courts to stop overturning his random EOs. A shutdown would close the courts.
So we should just give him everything he asked for on a silver platter with no resistance whatsoever and not offer any meaningful alternatives?
It’s like invading Iraq when a bunch of Saudis that hate Iraq attack you. You have to ask yourself “is this exactly what they want me to do?” And then “If I want my revenge, whom should I attack and how?”
Attacking federal workers on behalf of Trump is not the way to “Stand up to Trump”
It’s long past time for Schumer and most of the timid OLD dems, to step aside. We’ve had enough of failing. We need to elect people that are capable of fighting back.
Schumer clearly never learned that appeasing Nazis is not the way to go! Or perhaps he’s a nazi is disguise.
Dodgy governments as per usual.
