I'm so done with Schumer. Even if the Senate Dems ultimately vote no, Schumer can't control the narrative externally or within his own caucus. Put Klobs in charge - I think she is on the minority leadership committee.

the reasons why Schumer has to go move far beyond a fight over a continuing budget resolution

silverknyaz.bsky.social•2 days ago

and to be clear idrt he's going anywhere, there lacks a critical mass of real support to oust him *right now*, let alone in 2028. i am Big Skeptical this goes anywhere meaningful, as much as i want him gone.

Best chance is hoping people are still pissed in Summer 2017 and AOC running against him

*2027 obviously

Like, this isn't even an NY Dems bad, thing! He's fucking over his fellow Brooklynite hakeem jeffries, too

Upstate NYer. Only letter I've ever written to a rep was in 2016 after trump won and I told him "those that do not fight lose by default". He's defaulting. I won't vote for him again.

"fire Schumer because some people claimed he was going to cave and then he didn't"?

davedette.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean, a) it sounds like he's going to cave, and b) he's doing a bad job! There's no control over messaging. There's no messaging period. What does he do? What's the point of him?

I don't believe these Schumer defenders are arguing in good faith. It's like the khive but for Schumer of all people.

To keep the caucus together, is his main job
As for messaging, should he declare his intention to shut down the government? Whose messaging was more effective here?

To keep the caucus together for what? Keeping the caucus together is not an end in and of itself (Which is the exact mistake ppl like Schumer often make)

He and Jeffries are a huge part of the problem for the entire party
