Part of me wants to move to New York just to primary this guy.

Chuck Schumer’s advice for Democrats staring at a long two or more years out of power: Just wait.

“Trump will screw up,” he tells Semafor in an interview.

It's a hell of a plan. Real ballsy.

Him, I mean.

Please don’t be daft. Your day job counts for more.

The Dem leadership is bringing a a knife to a gun fight. Even worse, it's a butter knife.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk and four other kids I've never voted for have access to my personal information.

We can no longer put all of our eggs, and our hopes, in the two-party (binary) flawed-democracy system. We need more parties > more representation/participation. At minimum, it will change America's fabric from a "binary vision" to a "spectrum understanding" so people learn to work together across.

Sadly, it looks more and more like the Democratic party has been captured by the billionaire class just as much as the Republicans. It has accepted an existence of legitimizing the right by maintaining the illusion of an opposition, and in exchange they get to enrich themselves and their donors.

Where's Pelosi when you need her

For a UK person, what does ‘to primary’ mean?

jonifan.bsky.social•19 days ago

Thank you.

BTW, I am beyond excited to hear from you personally: The Big Picture and Something Deeply Hidden both on my bookshelves - read more than once.

To run against in a "primary" election, the one to determine the party's candidate in the general election between parties.

I'd move there just to vote for you.

toddewing.bsky.social•20 days ago

You should do that

I'm conflicted. I feel like Schumer has been, mostly, a good steward of democracy.

Assuming you're of a liberal, democratic mind, we could do much worse than having you as a senator.

I haven't read your books but I've caught you in a few videos and you've given me much to think about.

He will definitely screw up, but together with the whole country?!

johnokillens.bsky.social•20 days ago

PLEASE!!!!!
I’d move back there just to vote that two-faced, clueless, bum out of office.

Does Trump have pictures of Schumer in a compromised position?

futurewah.bsky.social•20 days ago

They still think it’s business as usual.

adrian-prussia.bsky.social•20 days ago

We should all agree....never, ever, no matter what, vote for any politician over 65.

woutersmind.bsky.social•19 days ago

Sean, please don’t. Though I would love to see someone like you in politics, I would really hate to see you waste your time on it. What you do now is so much more valuable.

richardyoung.bsky.social•20 days ago

I agree Dems' response has been lacklustre to say the least; but it's not even a fortnight. And I think Schumer might be right: the best way to utterly discredit Trump is let him be TrumpMax. Obviously it's a risk; but if he torpedos himself, the movement takes a mortal blow Dems could never land

zcorbain.bsky.social•20 days ago

A better way to put it us, "He will continue to screw up."

rocinante88.bsky.social•20 days ago

Why can’t we have Chris Murphy?

cathodion.bsky.social•20 days ago

if i were in new york, i’d vote for you

dominiqueqc.bsky.social•20 days ago

All we see right now is on Schumer, Pelosi and Garland. All were weak and failed to act when it was time. Oh, McConnell too. He should have allowed DJT to be impeached instead of being a partisan hack.

I will immediately donate the maximum legal amount to anyone who primaries either NYS senator.

libbyrock.bsky.social•19 days ago

I live in New York. We need new blood and the dems need to wake up. Waiting for Trump to screw up? Rally now and build momentum and fight back. It’s like we are all standing around like deer in the fing headlights

gmacdonell.bsky.social•20 days ago

Unfortunately you can stay at Cal Tech or whatever for a few years.
