I kept thinking he was hiding, but I neglected to consider that he's like 95 years old and probably napping

nateboyd.com•20 days ago

Thx for the gift!

mavill.bsky.social•19 days ago

Schumer's only problem is he lost the youngs, the olds & the middle aged, other than that he's solid

traveller-in-black.bsky.social•18 days ago

NOPE

Not the man for the moment

Not solid at all

Is obstructing people who might actually do something, so maybe he's 'solid' in that sense

beckybradway.bsky.social•20 days ago

I know a lot of mainstream older Dems who are completely fed up with their party’s weakness. This headline is clueless. (I’m talking people from 60-80.)

traveller-in-black.bsky.social•18 days ago

The dude's living in the past, or is just too selfish to step down

rollamichael.bsky.social•19 days ago

Wait a sec, Jeffries held his caucus together and they did the right thing. Don’t paint him with schumer’s stench.

danielsereduick.bsky.social•19 days ago

Jeffries read the room on this at least but he's a joke too

rollamichael.bsky.social•19 days ago

Why on earth would you call him a joke? Last time I checked, neither you nor I have been elected to Congress nor risen to minority leader only three seats away from being leader.

danielsereduick.bsky.social•18 days ago

I mean, congrats to him on his career progression or whatever, but Jeffries sucks, always has

rollamichael.bsky.social•18 days ago

By what measure (s)?

bugeric.bsky.social•20 days ago

I’m 64, and I am right there with you!

santacruzmag.bsky.social•19 days ago

I'm 54, not young, still fuming. Time's Up, Chuck, ya suck

martingeorge.bsky.social•20 days ago

Then young Democrats, and young people in general, need to get off their asses and get to work. These people don't elect themselves.

ilk.org•20 days ago

65, and very much of the same opinion.

ealex212.bsky.social•19 days ago

53 and I’m supporting who ever is going to primary him.

proftlt-emeritus.bsky.social•18 days ago

67 mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.

professingdi.bsky.social•18 days ago

Curmudgeonly as always, and yet you are not alone!!

leesarenae.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'm very happy with my Dem Senators and Congress members. If your state has crap members, get involved in your own state party. #Oregon

pattyjb.bsky.social•20 days ago

Schumer is way past his "use by" date, and I'm 73. Ffs.

okazu.yuricon.com•19 days ago

Agreed. This was an enraging show of weakness for no reason other than leadership is tired and old.

archytoothless.bsky.social•19 days ago

I’m 60 and I’ve never been more infuriated about the pathetic response to the CR.

crobi.bsky.social•19 days ago

These old farts need to go, their draconian ways are dead. There's no reason or feasible path to try and back out of a fight when the other party WANTS to fight. Stand your ground and defend yourselves.

These old ghouls haven't fought for anything in decades.

californiaexpat.bsky.social•20 days ago

We need to elect young democrats. The old guard has failed us.

tallyannae.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'm 70 and I'm fuming too.
Chuck needs to go if he can't stand up to the GOP and actually lead Dems.

gwchilly.bsky.social•20 days ago

The flip phone embellishes your point.

daniele-gaither.bsky.social•19 days ago

🥱

imdumfounded.bsky.social•18 days ago

Not just the young.

grandmabirdy.bsky.social•18 days ago

I came here to say this too!

tempus.bsky.social•20 days ago

I’m two years ahead of you and I’m at the same place you are

lumpblock.bsky.social•19 days ago

53 here. Same.

letty787.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'm not a "young" Democrat and I am also fuming at Schumer. We do certainly need new Democratic leadership, but stop making it about age. I don't care what age they are, as long as they are fighting for the people.

mayamedia.bsky.social•20 days ago

And this is not the first time he’s stabbed us in the back. This news article is from Trump’s 1st administration. https://www.vox.com/2018/8/30/17797770/chuck-schumer-trump-judicial-nominees

lauratitian.bsky.social•19 days ago

Schumer has old democrats fuming, too.

kmmickvega.bsky.social•19 days ago

It’s nice of the NYTimes to call me young, but I’m old as fuck and even angrier.

morticia-frump.bsky.social•20 days ago

Not a single Democrat from Oregon is voting for this nonsense. They are all fighting. In Oregon, we're keeping Senators Wyden & Merkley, and Reps. Bynum, Salinas, etc... Thanks.

dmcj.bsky.social•20 days ago

I’m 61 and I 100% agree. Step aside, sir, and let the real leaders lead.

curiousgirl42.bsky.social•19 days ago

I'm 64 and right with you!

theduckofdeath.bsky.social•20 days ago

franklinsmom.bsky.social•20 days ago

Do his reasons hold any! Water?

wholetree.bsky.social•19 days ago

"...has young democrats fuming." ..so now, it is going to be framed as nothing more than an internal, generational battle between dems. how about we keep the focus on the real battle... between fascism and democracy.
