      No he’s on their side. It’s pretty clear from his description of them that the Baileys vote republican.

      Apparently in politics he may actually qualify as a spring chicken. I mean shit, he’s been showing up to work and speaking somewhat coherently – he’s already ahead of a number of other high-ranking politicians just based on those criteria.

      Slotkin is a mega zionist, big business servant, and centrist darling. Schumer is not in trouble, he’s retiring as chief zionist and passing the torch.

      In other words, for everybody not in Michigan it’s time to call up your senator and demand they get on the list.

        The staffer at my Republican senator’s office when I call and tell them to oppose Chuck Schumer:

        I think Mamdani is a bit preoccupied with actual work at the moment.

        End of the day, the Senate majority / minority leader is decided by the other party members in the Senate, not the party at large.

    I don’t know why Schumer should give a shit about democrats rallying against him. He will be on the ballot as a dem in New York state. It’s impossible not to be re-elected, so who cares?

      He could be ousted by a progressive primary challenger, though, as we have been seeing happen quite a bit this year.

    While you out it, please ditch Hakeem Jeffries too: those two are about as effective at inducing excitement and kindling hope in Democrats as two wet mops left in a bucket for too long.

      You forgot Fetterman, too. Show them the door.

        While I’d love to see Fetterman get kicked to the curb, this article is about Dem leadership. Schumer and Jeffries are; Fetterman is not.

    Alternative headline: DNC scrambles to remove DINO in their midst once even they realize the jig is up.

    https://youtu.be/dijMKwZMU2Q

    That’s from a year ago, and the fictional couple that he constantly refers to as, “The Baileys” make an appearance.

    Now do Hakeem Jeffries.

    While the article is a bust, Schumer really has the problem of not actually being opposition. He is more “Republican Light” than actually trying to save the nation from the NeoNazi Republicans and their Orange Führer.
