Hmmm charismatic dem Senators.. it’s not a great group of communicators. Cory Booker, or Tim Caine who’s been killing it lately are probably the best in the Senate. I think Warren and Klobuchar are great at their jobs but not the most electric orators either. Maybe Warnock?
Yeah, he does, which is why I stopped watching, but my husband had it on last night and I saw the Schumer part. He’s not wrong about this one. Chuck’s not the best commentator at a time like this.
I’m with you. I stopped too. Maybe shooting at our own not the best idea when the other side is running a wannabe dictator. Ive been unhappy with Stewart since 2016. Virtually the same act in 2024.
Schumer could have done so much more with the 52 seats in the Senate, he squandered it. He needs to step aside and let someone with more heart in the game stand up to the Orange buffoon.
Schumer is not the leader we need for this moment. He’s still playing by the rules. We need someone willing to get dirty. We need our own Mitch McConnell.
Sadly, it took Chuck Schumer hearing that Donald Trump has threatened to take Bonanza and M*A*S*H off all television broadcasting station to get amped up enough to do something.
Forget this!! Last week when Federal workers got their emails ALL- every Dem rep and sen -should have been at the Capitol in a special session, with Governors demanding answers as to why a probable total of 8 million plus Americans are being threatened with their world changing!!!!! DO SOMETHING!
Yeah, this sucks. We need better. Sipping bourbon with Mitch was politics as usual. This is the exact opposite. Nothing is normal and I need someone to pretend they aren't rich, and live up to their oath to protect those who aren't.
I wish they had been that animated during the election when, motivating another 2 million to vote, would have prevented fascism. But they were too busy belittling the right at the time.
Actually, it was the radicalization of the Republican party that led us to fascism in America. And while they were perfecting their tactics, there were progressives fucking whining like goddamned man panties that the dem candidates weren't the perfect bride insisting "both candidates are bad."
Chuck Schumar and Nancy Pelosi both need to get out of the way. They're thinking of the MAGA(R) as your 1980's Reagan/Bush(R). We're in a different fight now. MAGA is a mean spirited, pestilence group of termites wreaking havoc on society. We need (D)warriors who will go to war & not easily waiver.
The dems can’t seem to catch a break, damned if they do or don’t. That age group, consistently shows up consistently and votes. If people don’t like it, the kids under 50 need to wake up and realize your screwed 50 ways to Sunday.
Schumer is the wrong guy for these times. He cares about legislative process, and little else. And his messaging is all wrong. What Musk is doing is illegal already. We don’t need another bill that will go nowhere.
We need AOC, JASMINE CROCKETT, and JAMIE RASKIN front and center IMMEDIATELY! The Senate is basically a lost cause at this point. They should sit down, shut up, and fight behind the scenes while the REAL scrappers take this over.
no kidding! Not just because they’re old, they’re ignorant, corrupt, self centered as fuck. no idea who raised the 50-75s alive rn but whoever influenced their collective behavior must be pretty fucking evil based on how they’re treating literally everyone else (including their own families)
I really disagree (53 here). It is more unifying to show them (older and younger gens of dems) working together like they are right now on media etc. They appeal to very different groups of voters, and their presence comforts different demographics.
70 here. At this age, angry just becomes grumpy old "get off my lawn" stereotype. Unimpressive. Retirement happens to most of us for very good reasons.
I said this to a group of young women on Saturday. I’ll be 61 this month. It’s time for me to coach from the sidelines. The young ones need to play the game now.
I'm 56 next month and sick of corporate Dems. It's over now, we have to unite for the right reasons. Religion is not the right reasons to unite a Free country. I worship no man or God! I have evolved past your myths. Sorry started ramble. We are on the same side. If you are for Truth and Science.
I’m not his biggest fan but what I’ll take from the situation is that he showed up. Let him keep showing up, but let the next generation of leaders take the lead. For the first time in a long time their energy gave a sense of hope
That's seriously what this needs... Letters and interviews on friendly primetime cable media programs ain't it anymore. We're gonna have to meet them where they live.
I don’t understand the refusal to go on opposing media platforms to push back on their narrative. It’s like we’re scared to make them look like idiots.
We need an opposing plan to counter Project 2025. Should reflect coherent, measured, stiff, resourced actions & outcomes. Proactive rather than merely reactive. Leverage "cancel culture economics". Extra credit homework: make robust plan in 24hrs as if crisis. Include Liz. / GOP allies. #aroused
This is important because the banking Lobby is huge and if they believe that enough of us are going to start pulling money out of banks ( a run on the banks) because of Doge , they're going to start putting pressure on the Republican Party.
There is someone else, more than a few, but Chuck & Co corp donors are really scared of them, so they aren't allowed near the mics. Why mess up a good thing when Chuck can just wait it out for 4 years, while we die, and get paid again to run a clueless campaign?
I’ll
Never forget this meeting in December’18. Pelosi blasted, Chuck cowed next to Trump, couldn’t look him in the eye. What a weak SOB. Time for a change.
Agree wholeheartedly! Murphy! Almost any one but Schumer. This is war, and he is treating it like just another day in the Senate. Retire. Maybe Trump and Elon
will pay your salary until September!
Chuck's persona is not that of a brawling heavyweight who would cut your throat over a naked bluff in a poker game. It's more of a mid-level accountant advising you on which depreciation schedule to use for your non-liquid asset porfolio. Bring in a fighter...
@schumer.senate.gov can eat a dick. Posting that "Congress needs to do something" while literally being in Congress and being able to do something is tone deaf, insincere, and old. Do something to disrupt the coup or get the f out of the way.
My senator, Adam Schiff, did the same kind of thing, farting out Congress needs to do something blah blah just after voting to confirm Bonespur's nominee for the department of veteran affairs
👏👏👏 to Schumer. He is out in the streets protesting, which is what all decent people should be doing right now. This is not a beauty context. The devil wins when good people stay silent in the face of evil… All decent people of all ages have a right to protest peacefully.

I’m just thinking all that get off our lawn energy won’t fix this.
but a leader will rise.....these times make leaders by the adversity they face
and I cannot stand listening to him speak
uses a lot of words to say effectively nothing
(We're F'd)
His focus-grouped posts aren't cutting it
@schumer.senate.gov
It’s going to be a painful year. Let’s hope for better!
Cory Booker
Sheldon Whitehouse
Come to mind.
I like Chuck, but I don't think he's up to the job.
Get. The Fuck. Outta the way.
The old are off message, generally. The old have already made the show of blocking the young from coming forward.
The old are the ones who believe in the political norms, such as not prosecuting a former president. (Biden, Garland).
The olds are the problem.
Jeffries is no better as minority "leader" in House.

@chuckschumer.com Time to step aside. This is embarrassing.

Pete was never afraid of Fox News.
Jasmine lights shit on fire.
By shit, I mean the Republican party

Musk is stealing our personal and financial secrets and dismantling our government while Trump yells “squirrel” to distract the media. We’re doomed.
Never forget this meeting in December’18. Pelosi blasted, Chuck cowed next to Trump, couldn’t look him in the eye. What a weak SOB. Time for a change.
Yeah that's not who I want representing the free world.
These politicians are part of the same problem.
