Well sounds like the Democratic leadership to aggressively court disgruntled voters and listening and addressing their concerns is off to a great start with this.

Guys, you just don't understand. His job, as he stated, is "to fight like hell for Israel." This other stuff is just peanuts for him.

[-] tmyakal@infosec.pub 5 points 3 months ago

Not just Israel. He's also here for the Baileys!

From Wikipedia:

Schumer has long claimed that his political decisions are guided by an imaginary middle-class couple, Joe and Eileen Bailey (initially O'Reilly), swing voters living in the Long Island suburb of Massapequa

[-] Rekhyt@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Specifically an imaginary couple who voted for Trump twice. His guiding imaginary couple are Republicans.

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago

If you haven't seen it, here is a link to Jon Oliver's piece about Schumer and the Bailey's and how the imaginary swing voters he bases his policy decisions on are really Republicans.

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Fuck those people. I'm from long island, I know people from Massapequa. They probably love ICE.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

So does Schumer

[-] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

I'm from long Island

Sorry to hear that mate.

Maybe he needs to go be a politician in Israel then because I'd prefer that he "fight like hell" for the US at the moment.

[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 8 points 3 months ago

I used to think he was merely useless, now I think he's a collaborator.

I used to, but I still do.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago

The DNC is controlled opposition and the fact that centrists are in denial about it puts all of us in great peril.

Get the fuck out chuck and move to Israel you will be accepted there.

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

AOC polls way better than Schumer among all registered voters in New York (yes, including Republicans). She's going to primary him in 2028.

Wish it could be sooner, but her success can leverage off Mamdani's progress, should all go well...

I used to think it was Russia that had infiltrated US politics. I mean it did, but Israel got there first.

Duh. Schumer works for Israel, not the USA.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

He doesn’t work for the American people he works for Israel

[-] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Get rid of him and they'll replace a mirror image of him. The same way they replaced Pelosi with a black to version of Pelosi.

[-] DylanMc6@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

We need a revolution

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Every one of the fucking rotating villains needs to go. You vote for any of that shit, you're out.

[-] Sunflier@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Boomers have overstayed their welcome.

Schumer is hand-in-hand with the republicans. What they can’t win, he loses for the democrats.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago

It's time for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries to get the hook, and get dragged off stage.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

We just need like 24 senators who arent compromised by Israel to win an internal party vote to dethrone him. But we dont even have close to that many who would vote for that. This is why we need to clean our own house up as our first focus. We cant fight republicans effectively when Israel controls our leadership and prefers that trump always wins. Our reps dont actually work for us, and thats part of why dems always lose. Its not that its the nature of left leaning people to fight weakly.

Yeah this clown and like half the Dem establishment needs to go. Maybe more than half. I'm not one for the "both parties are the same" bullshit, but between the enablements and the not listening to constituents, it is clear that many of these people are incapable of performing the duties for which they were elected.

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Their duty is to Israel first, America second. We need to primary any Dem who takes AIPAC, or other Zionist groups, money.

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Chuck is a big reason in the rise of Trumpism. He has been weak and only cares about Israel.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

He cares about his fictional moderate Republican family.
