Ah fuck I wish I could walk and chew gum at the same time
Except the people who always go on attacking democrats for every little thing are never present for when republicans come in and start wrecking everything. It's not about whether or not people can multitask or not, because these people have constantly shown they do not care what republicans are doing as long as they can make it about democrats.I don't think this is a fair accusation to make against Driz or EPR
And what do you expect to accomplish by bringing this up? Because I can tell you right now there is a bigger battle that needs to be won and it's not about the NYC election.Of course Republicans are the most immediate threat.
Schumer's issue is that he's a passive dealmaker and doesn't fight well. Not that he's corrupt.He's ineffective and his spine-equivalent can't even keep a good posture. Why would I trust someone who still doesn't even have a smartphone?

To you, personally?

Vote blue no matter whoFor Schumer vs. any Republican (if I were in NY), of course.
Schumer is not corrupt in the way that Trump is.
But that's really a matter of definitions. IMO large-scale political fundraising from private sector actors in the US is inherently corrupt. Of course the politicians are going to get owned by their biggest donors. It's unnatural to pretend otherwise.
Oh, god, the fucking flip phone.Not to tangent but... It doesn't even look like one of the newer ones that support 4G or 5G. I don't even think he'll notice when it stops working. 2G and 3G are almost completely gone.
Chuck, you're a goddamn Senator, you can afford something better.

Schumer is utterly representative of a Jewish boomer from Brooklyn. I see dozens of Chuck Schumers whenever I go back to those neighborhoods all overNone of these other people have massive political fundraising operations to manage.
Every big Bronx cookout.I kind of like the idea that if a Bronx cookout reaches a certain threshold, Chucky Schooms just sort of appears .

I'm sure he got to where he is because he was a natural fit for the requirements of the position, but do you really believe he's presently able to change his mind without regard to his fundraising?

I think in a lot of cases he is also very responsive to Democratic voters. The shutdown right now is a good exampleWhat about the March budget bill?
Why should people trust Schumer when he flip flopped on the last spending bill and caved into Republicans?He's made it this far. Give credit where credit is due.
He's doing good with the shutdown NOW and I'm generally content with the dems, even if they could and should be doing more, but Schumer is bought. He knows who his masters are.
He's made it this far. Give credit where credit is due.I did. But he has also betrayed the American people in this situation before, so you have to be cautious in your trust of him. Voting for a MAGA approved candidate is also a bad look.
You laugh, but this is literally the case."Hey man, sorry I'm late, work was a nightmare, but I brou-"
What about the March budget bill?
No one in this topic has mentioned Cuomo being a sex offender until you decided you wanted to move the goalposts.post 18 ackshually
Keep in mind that this isnt some kind of situation like where Trump takes all of his donations and lines his pockets with them.This is double-edged.
Schumer is bankrolling close elections all over the country.
What is the goal of stirring in-fighting especially over an election where Cuomo isn't going to win anyways?

"You can't come in."
"Dude, I'm ten minutes la-"
"No dude, you don't get it. Justin brought his girlfriend, she brought her friends... we have 49 attendees, Steven."
"Oh. Oh god. I'll... I'll go. I'm sorry. I didn't know."
So vote blue no matter who unless the who is a leftist, got it. Schumer cannot even pass the most vocal of liberal purity tests.
Everybody should be reacting to Schumer exactly how they do the "champions of gaza" and people who threatened to withhold their vote.
To be fair, the actual DNC looks to be for mamdani. It's schumer being weirdYes, but that doesnt fit the Progressive Jesus is being persecuted by the Liberal Pharisees narrative.

Yes, it's useful that Schumer is doing that.
But further cementing the control of capital over the Democratic party is not something to celebrate.
Democratic and Republican donations don't come from the same place. Dems get a lot more from law firms, retirees, labor unions, etc. A big chunk of people donating to actBlue are well off liberal professionals who are more leftward than a lot of the working class
Indeed. "He's not supporting Mamdani because he wants to keep raising money from people who push the Mamdani-type progressives out of the party" is not really a good sign, because it just shows that Schumer is rather complicit in the corporatization (is that a word?) of the Democratic party.
On which issues are they more leftward? I find that a lot of the young urban professionals can be rather left on social and cultural issues, but then become center or center-right when economic issues come into play. You'll be surprised how often young urban professionals turn into center-right nutbags when zoning laws and affordable housing come into play
A vote for Cuomo is a vote for MAGA, so if Schumer did it he is no better than any Trumper.Schumer's a jackass with some garbage takes, but suggesting he's "no better than any Trumper" is a plainly ridiculous opinion.
Schumer's a jackass with some garbage takes, but suggesting he's "no better than any Trumper" is a plainly ridiculous opinion.Agreed, and that kind of thinking is a slippery slope that leads leftists to believe that Democrats and Republicans are all the same, turning them into full-blown tankies.
Its really nobodys business and his right not to say. I understand the point you all are trying to make, but the concept of secret ballots is sacrosanct.
It's a little hard not to see it that way with so many openly saying it about their preferred primary candidates
Schumer's a jackass with some garbage takes, but suggesting he's "no better than any Trumper" is a plainly ridiculous opinion.Schumer voted for the MAGA pick. We don't tolerate people who voted MAGA or withhold they're vote against MAGA here.
Schumer voted for the MAGA pick.
Did he? Prove it. Surely you have one statement from Schumer saying "I voted for the MAGA candidate."Oh yeah he's just really shy to say he voted for Mamdani for some reason.
