I'm not finding that in the news anywhere.
Thats because he did it sly. He never endorsed him, what you are seeing is PR for the aftermath. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/chuck-schumer-hails-impressive-campaign-from-zohran-mamdani-but-doesnt-endorse-or-congratulate-him/
The claim was he came out against Mamdani, though, where is the evidence of that?
Also, the second article I presented don't like Mamdani so the only way it makes sense for PR is if they're quietly promoting Republicans.
So you're happy with this lack of endorsement?
No, but I won't participate in divisive tribalistic bullshit which weakens the left.
Schumer is not on the left
And I'm not going to go out of my way to say people who are actively hurting the US are somehow good, regardless of their ~~tribe~~ party.
Instead you blame people for not doing things completely outside of their power, and you want others to blame them too so that they never have any power to fix this situation.
Corey booker held a 24 chat session instead of holding up actual legislation. Filibustering works, Dems just dont want to.
This bill is going through what is called "Reconciliation." Because it's a budget bill and the DNC have filibustered it, the GOP are using a simple majority to pass it back to the house to be voted on a second time after which the president can sign it into law.
Other examples of this in the past: The DNC almost used Reconciliation in 2010 to pass the ACA, but before that could happen they got independent Joe Leiberman to agree to concessions and pass it with a supermajority instead. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 used Reconciliation. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 used Reconciliation.
so you hate waffles?
My reply was in reference to their own reply here: https://infosec.pub/comment/16780580
I was not being serious.
well exactly what he is doing here, superficially looking like he is doing something where as doing nothing when and where it matters
