As long as you have people like Chuck in charge of the Democrats you’ll never see anything meaningful happen. That they fight tooth and nail against the DSA is also telling.
CHuck and hakeem, even they are shielding for people like slotkin, booker, and others in the DNC theres about a dozen+ for each house.
It’s like we can only choose between the anti-christ and hades.
I feel like those two are somehow better
Hades was like the only responsible god
Fuck off ZioNazi
Neo-liberals are traitors and need to be dealt with as such.
I’m surprised you’re not being heckled by the libs right now for being a useless, idealist.
Mostly we heckle the people saying you shouldn’t vote, or should vote 3rd party, when the ubernazis are closer than ever to total domination. I think most people are of the opinion that, between actual elections, everything possible should be done to get better nominations and replace the old guard democrats.
Traitors to whom? Their primary allegiance was always to the capitalists.
They’re supposed to be beholden to their constituency. Allegiance to their campaign contributors and to schemes to enrich them personally is literally corruption.
Granted privileging property owners over the working class is baked into the Constitution of the United States, but we’ve had multiple reckonings during which we collectively reaffirmed we want our society to be a pluralistic liberal democracy. And the capitalists curse and swear vengeance every time.
(And, as Marx predicted in Das Kapital the capitalists immediately look to recapturing government institutions. It’s what they do. And so far we’ve failed to adequately punish them when they are caught trying.)
(Also, this phenomenon isn’t unique to the US. After rights in France were established in the Napoleonic Code, they were rolled back during the Bourbon Restoration, requiring a second revolution and a lot more piled heads. The French public began to realize even good kings are arbitrarily followed by tyrannical kings.)
At this point the US public is beginning to understand what’s at stake, why we need independent regulatory bodies, why rule of law has to apply to everyone, that capital never sleeps. And more of the Democratic party is tired of corporate shills. (More identify as moderate than progressive, but the platform they want is progressive. UHC is super popular.)
On the other hand, capitalists come better prepared with higher tech every time. The MAGA propaganda machine is very powerful and uses proven brainwashing techniques. And we don’t have a cure for that.
The MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries have been on the stage long enough, and nobody has found them entertaining at all. Time to give them the hook, and get some real talent on the stage.
The rise, and re-rise, of MAGA is 50% their fault, and they haven’t done one single thing to demonstrate that they deserve a THIRD chance to protect us from the MAGA Monsters. Both of them are entirely useless, and Schmuck is even worse than Jeffries, if that’s even possible.
All this corrupt old fuck cares about is Israel and Insider Trading. He has never done one single thing to advance a true Democratic agenda, or protect this nation from being conquered by Treasonous Pedophiles.
When this is all over, and we are putting MAGA Traitors in front of a tribunal, Schmuck & Jeffries need to be heavily investigated, too, and we’ll probably find out they were collaborating all along.
Vote some in and recall them for others as needed, unlike what’s happened in the very recent past with the other party - gotta find a way
If we’ve learned anything in the past decade it’s to keep old white guys out of politics.
US politics is the definition of insanity. Oh and greed.
Fuck Chuck.
and his joke stealing cousin? amy schumer, not surprise she supports israel too.
Why are their pants down?
Gang shit.
Chuck the cuck fucking sucks butts
Chuck LeFuck fucking hates the Canucks
Chuck lugs truck nuts into his guts
If Chuck could chug butts he’d be a butt glutton, aw shucks
He really makes an appealing case, lol
his first words is always “Israel FIRST”
You gotta take the Senate to be the majority.
Baby steps. Or not. Steps. Whatever.
The more progressives want him to step aside, the more incentives capital interests will offer him to doggedly remain in the way.
That being said, he’s up for re-election in 2028, isn’t very popular in New York (or with democrat voters in general), and it probably won’t make much of a difference if he stays on as majority leader while Trump is in office.
IDK, he was literally just elected again in Jan 2025.
Just, like, go away. Once you were respected but now it’s come to light you are just a shill that will do or say anything for the right amount of “donations”.
I’ve already contacted my senators twice to voice my hope that they don’t vote for the gerontocracy. I also contacted Schumer’s office to ask him to retire, for the sake of our country. Not that I think it’ll do much, but it’s something.
I’m sure it’ll give them something to use for kindling.
Better than just posting here like most do.
I’ve always despised Chuck; 40 years in office and counting.
They’re not going away unless they die. Wake up
Look at Mitch McConnell, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Trump.
When this country was founded, there was no way to conceive that we’d live for 80+ and people would hold an office for their entire life, accumulating treasures like Smaug
Yep. I felt the same about Biden. He was a bumbling shmuch for his entire long career.
Republicans want to abolish the minimum wage and keep healthcare tied to employment
And Democrats just want to never raise the minimum wage again and keep healthcare tire to employment. That’s why Schumer is still going to be Senate Leader, he’s a.safe bet for the donors.
I remember the “Fight For 15” and how it didn’t go anywhere
When this country was founded, there was no way to conceive that we’d live for 80+ and people would hold an office for their entire life
Ben Franklin died at 84 in 1790 just 2 years after serving as President of Pennsylvania… but okay.
I wonder how that compares to the average life span at that time. It’s not unheard off but it was rarer back in his time than ours.
Largely averages from back then are skewed by child mortality rates. Looking at the median age of adults at death results in a number around 75 for the late 1700s. He lived a little longer than the norm but not by enough that it was an anomaly.
