As a writer, I have to say I would not personally choose to piss off a huge number of people across the country before going on a book tour but that’s just me I guess

Here's the thing though Amber, you, unlike Schumer, are aware of what the moment calls for because you aren't an out of touch octogenarian who hasn't lived in the real world for 40 years. You are a real person.
Oh people will show up but they won't be buying his book and they won't be asking for his autograph. He is not going to know any peace from what he just did you want to talk about some heckling oh he's going to get it that dumbass schmuck
Oh I'm right there with you. I noticed on his little list of starting out he's completely avoiding the Midwest and we're waiting for him. And don't just protest make sure he doesn't sell one f****** book or sign it
Oh yeah there's a lot of them matter of fact there's ten to be exact. And we are going to make sure that they get primary out of office at the latest an example needs to be made out of these backstabbers and all we have to do is keep reminding people they're the f****** 10 that did this to us
Right? If conservatives aren't your market and you blow up your demographic who's left? Maybe it's such a bad book he just needs to explain zero sales to his mom?
I can guarantee you that the reason @schumer.senate.gov didn’t want to fight the spending bill was because he was more concerned about his book tour and didn’t want the distraction from his planning for that.
If he’s anywhere near my Long Beach CA home, I intend to rip him to pieces. Should be easy cuz this squirrel has no spine, no ethics, no accountability… I wonder what his 40 pieces of silver actually cost to cancel democracy? Must have been a sweet amount of nothingburger.
Kinda sick of all the "sincere" politicians and newspersons running all over making money off books like they don't have enough already. Not a lot, if at all, better than the greed of these billionaires and trump teammates.
I doubt I'll ever have the platform to piss off a huge number of people across the country before going on a book tour, so hadn't really thought much about it
Boycott his book but definitely show up. Set up a “Schumer is super-maga”-Tshirt booth to give out to anyone that buys it…tell them welcome to New York and meet your new maggot. Red the shat out of his scene, hats banners and all…
The man in the white house said nice things about @schumer.senate.gov so the MAGA morons who have always had more money than brains, can wear their golden shoes to buy his book. Because no Democrat should buy it.
I love to read! But especially after today, I wouldn't buy Chuck Schumer's book if it was the only reading material available. His time has come - to go!
Likely because this is his last term, or he's checking out early and going to quit. The fact he caved like a wet cardboard box is telling that he has given up being a Senator. 😒
I hope is book fails and he has to cancel his tour because like WTF.
Yea!!! You are right I really don't understand he and the other Democrats just caved like that with that damn bill. I guess some of these SUPPOSED to be Democrats showing their true colors. 😐🤔☮️❤️✨✝️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👎🏾👎🏾
They all need to stop doing tours during their regularly scheduled work time. Save it for when not in session, but make sure to still be meeting with constituents.
It's a strategy to build interest and excitement. And, given @democracymattered.bsky.social is willing to drive an hour to the tour.... that must mean it's working!
As a non writer, I wouldn’t stand back and say NOTHING while Biden and garland gave trump a free pass for clear and obvious crimes for 4 years straight either.
No, that's not "just you" but as a writer and an author, keep in mind that 10% of 350M people is 35M people, so if he can get 10% to buy his book he makes a lot of $. More importantly, antisemitism remains a terrible stain on Western cultures and his book may help fight it.
He exemplifies exactly what’s wrong with the Dems. They’re tone deaf & can’t read the room. They wasted away oppty after oppty to put an end the MAGA BS but they keep playing nice while they’re getting their heads bashed in.
Meanwhile Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is holding town halls in red state districts where a Republican won by a squeaker in 2024.
This is also known as doing something constructive.
There’s something about Tim Walz that’s hard to put into words. He came into the ‘24 race running for VP but I think his calling was to talk us down from the ledge. This man is fueled by innate enthusiasm and HOPE. Seems like he came out of nowhere.
i need him to get somewhere. i am literally rooting for this man. everything ive heard about him is a green flag to me. a man who has stayed up to play goddamn Sonic Adventure 2 in his adult years is unironically the sorta person we need and im not joking about this.
You mean well-adjusted and normal? I get what you are laying down. I want a human with experiences and feelings and relatability. Not a chronic narcissist petty liar who doesn't drink adult beverages and doesn't laugh because he isn't wired for humor.
To be fair, I don’t drink adult beverages myself. Never tried beer or hard liquor because it smells so nasty. Don’t like wine or champagne. (Also never tried coffee.)
So I don’t hold that against anyone. Being a weird jerk who’s just out to hurt people, though….that I will hold against anyone.
well yes, but i think having someone who knows about Shadow the Hedgehog and likely actually understands the story and appreciates it is like a huge bonus to me, considering the whole sorta themes of. well. the Entire Thing.
You know what to do, folks. This craven bastard chose Wall Street over We the People. Let’s let him know that HE WORKS FOR US! This isn’t about his book. This is about him capitulating to fascists. Make a plan. Show up and show out. BE LOUD. This motherfucker betrayed us! 🤬
Tells you what an idiot Schumer is!! It’s all finally coming out, revealing their true selves! Did we not just yesterday think Musk was a genius, Newsom the man for next Dem Prez, Fetterman was it for Dems in PA? We all did! Fooled us all and now they are the fools cuz the truth is out- traitors!
Just go’s to show in dark times who’s going to step up and who’s let’s us down it’s better to know now so that they can be voted out in less then 2 years
Apparently it’s a new marketing concept, started by the CEO of a big EV maker. Figure out who is the most likely target for your product, then work hard to alienate them.
We know who Trump/Vance/Musk are...we expect them to fuck us but not the leader of our own party.
The rage at betrayal is explosive. Schumer is a target that we can have an immediate impact on.
Get him out of a leadership position.
Tell Cersei it was me.
I won't ever buy his book. Hope others will follow suit. Instead of writing a book, he should be working to fix the government. That is why he was elected to office. Hold him accountable!!
I have to wonder if Schumer voted for cloture partially because a 6-month break from any political responsibility would give him more time to focus on his book tour.
I’d love to go on a book tour for one or all of my 9 published novels. If some people were pissed off, at least they’d be paying attention. LOL. https://www.vernturner.com.
What if he's right? What if he voted against the budget, a shutdown happened and Trump used that opportunity to gut out even more agencies and services?
Would that make Schumer be a hero or a traitor then?
Trump has had plans to gut everything either way. It was time to show unity. Schumer and friends failed the assignment. The blame was to be laid at the feet of the Trump supporters and they joined them. SS was planned to go away either way according to DT and EM. Riots to follow with arrest. 😩
Trump would welcome a shutdown and reek more havoc as it continued for months. Would GOP try harder to negotiate to stop a shutdown? What then? No SS / Medicare / Medicaid / SNAP payouts. Military not getting paid. For possibly months??
Which is the lesser of two evils? Where / how does it end?
They will gut SS, Medicaid, Medicare, and more anyway. I have 2, of my 3, kids in the Navy right now. They were prepared for a shutdown and for it if necessary. We have good men and women in the military. Trump didn’t get to everyone. Cool heads are prevailing.
OMG… DT might make it illegal NOT to buy a copy! Because it will be the best book that’s ever been written. In the world. And no one in the world knows more about books than he does.
I never knew book tours brought down high food prices, or made housing affordable or helped disabled and homeless veterans.
But when taxpayers cover your meals, your travels and healthcare, It must be possible.
All proceeds go to ..?
You don't pay your leaders enough to dedicate their lives to the job
Or
Your politicians are too fucken corrupt & filled with greed to be "public servants"
You retire
Then you write a book
Sooo
He needs to retire
So do his comrades
Fuck them all sideways with a 2×4
No. As Robert Reich says, Dems need to grow a spine. The spines are rising to the top. Debbie Dingle civility got us Trump. Fighting against MAGA is getting organized like they are. We left millions of stay at home votes on the table, because Dems aren't well organized at getting out the vote.
Nothing says out of touch ineffective impotent opportunistic career politician like scheduling a book tour during a hostile government takeover by a psychopathic regime…
In a world as fucked up as this one, it's not possible to write anything meaningful without pissing off the people who are profiting from the fucked-upness. If priority number one is to avoid doing that, it speaks to the value in quality of what we're writing.
That’s because you don’t appreciate what a rain of rotten eggs can do for your standing in the Trump circle of cretins, cons, conspiracy cranks, convicted Christian Child pederasts, and just plain grifters! 🥚🥚😖
I've informed the DSCC, DNC, and my Democratic rep that they'll get no money from me until he's removed from leadership. A strong showing of people demanding the same can't hurt. I wouldn't discourage anyone from pressing for it in any way they can. It definitely won't happen if we don't even try.
Trump wanted Schumer to shut down the government. That way, he could say the Congress and Senate are ineffective, and only he can run the country. That would be carte blanche for him, and all the bad things will be the fault of the Democrats.
He can try, but he can't say that the Congress isn't actively governing. Let congress do what they do, and Trump will continue to act like a crazy, out of control lunatic. Eventually, he will be hamstrung( the courts are already saying it's illegal to fire all those government employees).
Don't you think if does the recession will be worse? Eventually, even his supporters are going to be tired of him. Then the next senate and congressional elections, the Democrats can take the majority, and the Republicans left will be sick of Trump and actively work against him.
The democrats will probably win but will be in a glass cliff situation where the fed gov is too depleted to go back to normal functioning levels. They won’t be able to fix things good enough or fast enough and the republicans will run on that and win the next cycle.
I had a funny thought
As you say
He pissed off the ppl that would read it
But
(And this is important for sales)
He's kinda ok rt now with the ppl who would burn it

Treason.
Fire his ass.
Because as Democrats, their careers are done.

If so, I don't think it's going to work.

The cr gave them more legal power IN WRITING to do it.
Without the cr their cuts would be less legitimate and more disputable.
FUCK CHUCK.
Honestly, just tank the sales. We've all read enough old cisc white guy washed up has-been memoirs by now.

As others in this thread have said. There are true leaders out there FOR the American people.
They are listening. They are our leaders.
If you want to hold a public office then listen to the people and engage with them.
He will use it prove his satanic "point"
…except this, this is terrible publicity.
#schmuck
At every single stop.
Schumer has gotten way too comfortable with his position of power.
Let’s hope he’s in for a big surprise on his book tour 😉
He can and will simply lie and almost the entire media apparatus can and will just report his lies with no commentary about them being lies.
This was a battle we couldn't win, and we were wise not to fight it.
The battle is coming this fall. That's the test.
I wonder what Mitch McConnell would have done if the situation were reversed.
