Chuck Schumer is not only failing to meet the moment by not opposing the war on Iran. He has long been a hawk on Iran among Democrats and Americans who are yearning for peace.

Chuck Schumer will go down in history as one of the most vehemently hated political figures from this time period in US politics and for good reason.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Democrats of this period will go down in history as the functional mechanism by which the fascists were able to take over.

[-] Wammityblam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I fucking hate that our options for political parties are inept or evil

outwardly inept or evil

Schumer and Jefferies didn't slow-walk votes on war powers resolutions for two weeks before this new war because they thought it would fail; they slow-walked it because they didn't want to have to put Democrats on record as having voted against it. They didn't want to have Democrats being held accountable for the manner in which they govern and the consequences which extend from that governance.

The Democrats only appear inept if you misidentify their objectives. When you recognize that most of the party and definately party leadership, by and large, have the same goals as the fascist party, it becomes more difficult to interpret their alleged incompetence as being anything other than performative. They achieve the goals of their funders. If you are Israel, you are getting what you paid for.

The Chamberlain Democrats. Chambercrats.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Viche Democrats

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 1 week ago

He will be largely forgotten by the history books, a minor side character that 99.99% of people will never learn about.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

No he won't. Historians will be getting their masters and PhD degrees by writing about him for the next century. Every action will be scrutinized. His legacy will be as the most corrupt President in history.

Chuck thinks his job is to make sure democrats keep supporting Israel. Thats verbatim what he thinks his job is.

[-] Tronn4@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Nah he did what Isreal paid him to do. To ignore America and do what they want

[-] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

He's not even doing it for the pay anymore. He's so far into it, if he stopped he would to actually acknowledge that he was bought and paid for by a foreign government to betray the interests of his voters and fellow citizens.

It’s time to chuck Schumer.

[-] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Chuck Schumer! That was a complete sentence.

[-] big_dog_pie@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

The same people that pay Trump, pay dems alike. The republicans and Democrats are the same party. 

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

It has been time for a long while.

[-] rafoix@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

He should be deported to the state he represents. Israel.

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

He should be lowered into Palestine like that cow in Jurassic Park.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Oh… now it’s time? It hasn’t been past due?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Sorry, i asked the Baileys and they said to go flurk yerflelf and GO ISREL.

I think it's past Chuck's nap time.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Indeed, fuck Schumer and Dems who work for Israel and support the war.

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 1 points 1 week ago

Amongst other things, yes.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

gestures vaguely at every action of schumers since 2016

[-] Wammityblam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

All these dusty old white men and women need to go.

These people have absolutely nothing in common with the average American. We desperately need young blood in the game.

Age and term limits for all positions in government.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

What we really need is money out of politics and for AIPAC to register as the foreign lobby that it is.

Fuck Chuck and his glasses.

[-] TemplaerDude@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Trumps entire presidency has been all the fucking proof anyone should need. He’s done everything he can to enable a fascist take over. He’s offered nothing. He’s an incompetent fuck who should be shipped off to the funny farm.

[-] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Chuck loves operation AIPAC fury.

[-] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Literally anything in the past 14 months showed multiple times, that he is part of the problem.

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure his approval of the big beautiful butt fuck bill was pretty strong evidence.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
