Just so shockingly out of touch with what has happened in this country since 2016, with not much interest in learning. Get outside of NYC/DC once in a while - maybe that will help.

Much too late for him to learn, but we Dems need to move quickly or we will be taken down with him. A competent leader would be out fighting and have a message. Chuck has neither the inclination nor the capacity to lead now.
Schumer is not cut out for a fight, he longs for a time that does not currently exist. He has been unable to meet the moment and should step aside, he cannot lead those who have no faith in him
That party, @schumer.senate.gov, died long ago. The last hold out was John McCain. Get a grip, will you. And accept the new reality. If you won't, then step aside for someone who does.
This is why most voters didn't go out and vote, it's because the breach of trust from both parties habitually alienated the people. Schumer is a representative of a generation that has no grasp of reality and lives in an insulated world that does not listen to the people.
Way, way out of touch, he sounds like McConnel who shirked his responsibility and claimed that the courts would deal with Conald. Get out of NYC/DC? He's afraid to even go on a book tour.
Thats what happens when we continue to vote for VERY OLD people. They are OBSOLETE, like Biden was (and we lost for it). They don’t realize that there is no more GOP, only MAGA. They can’t understand MAGA, so they can’t OPPOSE It. That’s how a democracy turn in to a theocracy
Delusional and completely out of touch with the ramifications going on. There will be no "after trump" Republicans. They need to rebrand as a new party to distance themselves from the Maga cult. They're planning on voting in Don Jr, then Barron for president. That's Maga's agenda.
This is why we need term limits & age limits. Schumer and some Democrats are part of a Controlled Opposition that give the illusion of an opposition. They don't have any loyalty to We the People or real opposition to the ruling power. They are bribed self-servers that need to be removed from office.
He was going to venture outside but it got too scary when he found out people were going to protest his book tour so he took the RNC route and decided to avoid interacting with voters. @schumer.senate.gov is a coward.
Honestly, these people over 75. I'll need to step down now. It's embarrassing and they're extremely at a touch jim especially.. Where's pelosi, where is that idiot clooney writing op eds
(Like to see one from him for trump too) wont hold my breath ..
This is exactly what is wrong with the left. This and 9 more just like him sadly! YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO in the PRIMARIES. I am sure there must be some excellent replacements on the left that are complete with spines. Discard or ignore the jellyfish with no spine or stomach for a fight.
Um hello, does he read? His hope is hopeless. Not recognizing he’s not in Kansas and more is a huge problem. He needs to step down and let a strategist lead that isn’t completely out of touch
Hope away, Chuck, but that’s not your job. Your job is to FIGHT for the citizens of America and the continuance of the American Democracy. You’re failing!!
I'm just a rank and file Democratic who expects elected Democrats to act like Democrats. Schumer made a commitment to House Democrats and broke his word. Trust is earned drop by drop and lost in a moment. I doubt Schumer ever played a team sport.
So you’re willing to withhold from democrats bc of the politics all the while the repubes continue to add to their coffers makes perfect sense. Boycott 1 not all seems more reasonable
Chuck, I don;t know. I think you've always been like this. Don't think it's age. You sre not equipped to deal with this emergency. You need to get behind, and support in every way, Democrats--probably younger--who have the fire to resist this unprecedented.predatory regime.
You're out of touch, out of step in todays world Chuck!!!
That playbook you're looking at has been long discarded by the rethuglicans , there are no more John McCains in the rethugs party. That's why you need to resign!!
You're not equipped to handle this battle we're currently in.
Schumer is a fool. The republican party is trump. every one of them. they seem to be content with the country heading into fascism. We really should be prepared for the terrible time ahead and unite as a community to take care of each other.
I would not be surprised. seems many magas will let trump destroy their lives completely. It's the dynamics of a cult. Recent NBC poll gives him 47% approval, after all that has transpired. We have arrived at fascism. It's not the road to anymore - it's the arrival.
Dam right I ask myself how could all this shit be happening and the approval not be in the 20s-30s for the most. I guess shit is not bad enough yet for some
The Republicans have not actually "governed" for the good of the entire country since Ike was in office. Nixon went after people he didn't like, anti-war pot smoking hippies and minorities. Reagan went after the poor and minorities, same with the pa/son Bush while Trump is going after everyone
Chuck, the entire Republican existence is a choice people make. We don’t want the guardians of pedophiles as a party at all. There isn’t a single Repub.thats ever done one good thing for humanity
Can't help but miss the days when a president didn't use social media to troll and insult world leaders with childish nicknames or threaten Canada and other allies.
Oh dear. Does Schumer not realise that Project 2025 isn't about Trump, it's about permanent Republican rule? And that Trump isn't central to it, he's just accelerating it? And that when it happens, Schumer and other Democrats will be irrelevant? I mean, there's optimism and then there's delusion.
I live in NYC. That is no excuse. We are well aware here of what is happening. Schumer, for whom I have voted many times, is now also a "turd" and in need of flushing.
Delusional. @schumer.senate.gov needs to retire ASAP and let others willing to fight for our country take the lead. People who won't go on talk shows to sell their book while their country burns down.
His responses are always, I hope it goes back, I hope they’ll work with us, I hope blah, blah, blah. He sounds like an observer and doing less than the brave citizens fighting for our country, not the minority leader. Do your job or get out of the way.
He lives in NYC. Going to his local bodega isn’t what those of us in redder areas experience. He never sees the maga hats and Trump flags. He has no idea how deep the rot is. There are no good republicans left.
Of all of the things that the septuagenarian over-coddled Chuck doesn't understand, he understands the concept of time the least. We don't have until 2028 to fix this. We don't even have until tomorrow to get rid of Chuck
Bullshit. We know what’s coming. Trump already has a role model: the current president of El Salvador, who successfully rewrote the constitution in his favor.
Even more so, your taxpayer dollars are directly leaving the US and going straight to the El Salvadoran government to pay for this.
@schumer.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov , you both voted to fund this.
Tell me- how is this not the same policy of appeasement that failed in the 1930s?
What have you done? And what will you do and when?
When will the democratic party realize that the game has changed. The trumplicans are NEVER going back to the fiscal and social conservative ideology of the past.
This trumplican party has evolved into an Ultra-right populist party.
If the dems can't help, time for a new political party.
I have written to both my Dem Senators (GA)and reminded them that I spent tons of $$$ and even more time campaigning for them.. I was spit on during Covid because of my advocacy.. no more support until they publicly call for new Senatorial leadership
Let the fascism rip
Omfg. Someone tell this idiot there aren't going to be fair elections. The Republican Party is done. They're never going to come back. Joe Biden was losing it? Well, Chuck is too. Why is he going so hard to help the Republicans? Makes me sick
Schumer was supposed to be getting outside Washington this very week to shill a book, but after realizing he would also be hearing first hand what unhappy, ordinary people had to say about him, he caved…again. Seems to be a pattern.
The John Birch Society has been around since the 1950s. Heritage Foundation has been around since the 1970s. Just like the Cato Institute, 1970s. The attitude of all three started long before Reagan, he just opened the door to them and W Bush took the door off the hinges.
The democracy doesn’t have that luxury of waiting senator! The gop is doing Nazi salutes and using chainsaws as props to gut the government and you and the leadership of the Democratic Party are wanting to invite the Nazis out to dinner or drinks!
I'm sure many people said the same about the Third Reich. Ironic that he's out there stumping for a book about the Holocaust, but he can't see the parallels to today.
Chuck is hurting himself by going on all the news shows. Chris Hayes did a great job last night... and poor Chuck just doesn't get it. I was on the fence before last night. Now, I think he should step down from leadership. I wish he would take those damn glasses off his nose & speak for the heart.
He is just getting in the way now. Sad that he isn’t in touch with reality and is making this about himself. He needs to give up the leadership now. There are many deserving Democrats who are capable of fighting. Make him irrelevant. Don’t give him airtime. New leadership is badly needed.
The Americans will never be able to replace any government in any other country again. Dictators around the world will take advantage of the chaos & authoritarian tendencies of Trump. You cannot even fix your own house. Human rights around the world - nonexistent in dictatorships.
Ha
The old gop party is same as before just not exposed to public daily routine dt represents them in the dark
Same same same
Schumer’s demeanor has allowed himself to be duped to believe Dt loves others
We are never going back. This was irreversible. We will forever be a changed nation. Either an authoritarian oligarchy or a return to liberal democracy under massively new rules.
There is no return to a prior state. He needs to go.
Agree. It’s 100% clear we will need to Amend the Constitution (or write a new one) that:
A: Impose term limits
B: Abolish Electoral College
C: Set term limit on Supreme Court Judges
D: Limit Campaign Contributions to individuals
E: CLEARLY limits Presidents power
F: Make impeachment easier.
Yeah, who's gonna be handed the cemetery shovels to dig up the bodies of all those country club Republicans and working class Reaganites to vote in the GOP primaries?
It's forever the '80s, right?
Then again, he did say it's hope, not his expectation.

What does that even mean? We've been in a Trumpian nightmare for a decade. That's all some ppl have ever known. I don't want to reclaim anything "old" after this. We deserve politicians who honor precedent but who are looking ahead. We don't need fossils who glorify the impotence of a bygone era.
With the exception of state employees, states do not pay income taxes to the Federal gov't. Employers and individual taxpayers collect and pay those taxes.
Each individual can claim the maximum number of deductions on their W-4's, though. That would prevent anything being withheld.
I know Republicans who still believe this - they can’t admit that what has happened to their party is a permanent change. I almost feel sorry for them.
And the thing is this, even if it was a 100% guarantee that they’d return to pre-trump status, they shouldn’t be allowed to do so. Because they have gotten people killed bungling a pandemic, making a mint on fake cures in the process. The GQP needs to be destroyed for what they’ve done.
And the fact that Schumer’s basically saying that his victory conditions are to just have this all go away and everything go back to the normal that wasn’t working anyway is insane. He will not be using his power to hold them accountable if he is left to his own devices.
I’m glad it is, to be honest. Hear me out, say the republicons could be trusted to revert to pre-trump GOP when he is gone. That would pretty much necessitate that they not be held accountable. Which guarantees they will try their hand at dicktatorship yet again later. The GQP has betrayed us all.
And if Chuck had his wish of them just “going back to normal,” we would be left in the same dysfunctional system that allowed this disease to grow in the first place. With the same problem of one of our two political parties having gone all in on propaganda and autocracy and attacking the rest of us
They seriously cannot comprehend the idea that neoliberalism is dead, it physically breaks their brains bc they have convinced themselves so thoroughly that it’s the best system ever designed
His brains are leaking out of his ears. What fucking planet has he been on for the last decade? This is what happens when we let the gerontocracy rule, we has useless leaders not fit to lead in crisis. We need TERM LIMITS yesterday.
It’s the Party of Putin, not Republicans. They’re sacrificing the American Constitution & Democracy, for what, a takeover by billionaires, cronyism, authoritarian fascists
and Trump, the most felonious, stupid, ignorant, characterless, selfish man to ever hold the presidency in American history.
Omg!!! Schumer: “so people will stop being mEaN to me”……😵💫😵💫😵💫 He’s either totally clueless, totally corrupt or doesn’t give a 💩 about the people….hmmmm, could be all 3.
he was on Morning Joe this am. What an out of touch idiot, he needs to resign from leadership or be thrown out by the rest of the Democrats. What is embarrassment trying to explain away his stupid vote. He can't read the f ing room.
“We are fighting to live in a world based on truth.” However, this is threatened: "Mader powerful actors are currently creating an alternative reality and destroying the common factual basis of our societies.
I’ve come to realize that Trump is not the disease, but the most a symptom of real problems. Those problems will remain once he is gone and the Republican Party is poisoned forever.
I believe the only way Chuck will leave is when we pry his cold, dead fingers from his Senate seat. He voted in favor to keep his cash cow donors happy & is no better than Trump in that they only care about the $ & not American citizens.
Ya he wants the old to always run the USA, people have seen PM Trudeau (young man) and other leaders stomping on their old felon like he was useless or something!
If the US doesn't wake up after this and start electing middle aged people, i have no words!
How does he not understand Trump is a symptom of what the republicans have become? Take Trump away and they will still be crazy/disfunctional. How has he not seen what they have turned into over over the years? And this change started long before 2016.

Fire Schumer.
senator/man.
They sucked for a very long time so that's not something to wish for. How about working to expel the dictatorship as a priority?
(Like to see one from him for trump too) wont hold my breath ..
I’m old. I hope I’ll be dead before that happens.

Schumer is myopic and needs to move aside.
"Hope is the sister of wish, and wishing is for children."
In fact, by comparison, it wasn't quite as horrible.
I mean I’m sure we will vote but I’m guessing we will see some historic landslide victories of like 90% GOP that makes no mathematical sense
We aren’t going back chuck cause that whole version is dead and gone
"The more things change, the more they stay the same"
Even more so, your taxpayer dollars are directly leaving the US and going straight to the El Salvadoran government to pay for this.
Tell me- how is this not the same policy of appeasement that failed in the 1930s?

Never mind the simple fact Trump's tax breaks in 2018 added 25% to it.
Idiots voted for more of it.
Let the fascism rip
Chuck, thanks for your service. Time to pass the torch.

Chuck hasn’t kept up with the changes and that is why he is operating by the old rules that no longer exist.
REPLACE CHUCK SCHUMER NOW!
and Trump, the most felonious, stupid, ignorant, characterless, selfish man to ever hold the presidency in American history.
resign
imunity.
If the US doesn't wake up after this and start electing middle aged people, i have no words!
Or maybe he'll hunt Democrats on the White House grounds.
He's a sicko.
2) if he's playing dumb & lying, he should resign.
