Chuck Schumer: The Man Who Let American Fascism Rise Without a Fight — There is no more room for weak leadership, no more time for calculated political inaction. Schumer must go, and Democrats must replace him with a leader who understands the existential stakes of this moment.

  1. If this were the military he’d be looking a dereliction of duty.

  2. Can somebody explain to me why he’s just sitting around and not doing anything?

  4. Okay, but who? There isn’t a single person in congress who understands, not even AoC or Bernie. Walz said it the other day: Trump will begin imprisoning political opponents. Yet even Walz isn’t ready to do anything about it. So the question is, who? 

  5. At this point, both parties need to go. Repubs are so poisoned with racism, hate, and misogyny the whole party is a cancer. Democrats are too unfocused and keep gutting themselves over and over to play bipartisan that they’ve become spineless.

  6. Quietly removing TS security clearances of multiple former political rivals is straight out of the Fascism 101 playbook. He is flooding the zone. I’m seeing some grassroots pushback building, but nothing from Democrats, except for AOC and Bernie who are what you needed 4 years ago. Both Schumer and Jeffries are the wrong people in leadership. Just like Merrick (I’m afraid of my own shadow) Garland was the wrong AG in the Biden Admin. You needed a pit bull. Trump should have been immediately arrested on Jan. 21, 2021 for treason (J6). You had so many opportunities to unplug Frankenstein and you failed to do so. You now own it America. Your Mango 🥭 Mussolini said during the election campaign that you would never have to vote again. Well, after 60 days of absolute chaos, we know what he was talking about. As a Canadian, who is daily threatened with invasion via ALL CAPS rage tweets by your leader with a broken brain 🧠 anything is possible. As my proudly, redneck father from “Wildrose Country” Alberta (Canada’s Texas) said, after you allowed Trump to run again for re-election; “do Americans have shit for brains?” I fear the only way President Trump is going to give up power and leave the White House is in a pine box. I hope I’m wrong, but so far, it has been a MAGA shit show. Elbows up! 🇺🇸🇨🇦

  7. His interview with Chris Hayes earlier this week was terrifying. Schumer is not up to this time.

  8. American fascism rose on November 6th and it wasn’t because of Schumer. JFC this is why we are fucked. We spent way more time attacking our allies for making 1 of two REALLLY bad choices. Rather than the people who created the choices.

  9. Lots of foreign influence trying to peg democrats as the bad guys in this administration

  10. Could not agree more. Passive aggressiveness is the last thing we need right now.

  11. We found the Neville Chamberlain to our orange Mussolini.

  12. He has done a lot of good for this country. But, as with Pelosi, their strategy is outdated and ineffectual. What Chuck did as the minority leader in supporting the CR was him getting to his knees to kiss Trump and Elon’s rings. Followed by a narcissist, self promotional book tour while the country was in crisis. Granted, he canceled the tour because he caves to everyone, but the Chuck today is a spineless worm who has long overstayed his welcome. And I’m a lifelong, centrist Democrat. Until now.

    Integrity and leadership is where my support goes, and in addition to AOC and Bernie, there’s a lot of fight in Raskin, Crockett, Buttigieg, and many others. Now, those that have risen to the surface need to assemble a dream team and lead a united, coherent movement that is grounded in what we DO stand for.

  13. I guess the headline is partially right. Schumer is a voter and voters brought fascism to America. Many here cheered for it. “Stay home!”, they said. “Punish the democrats!” they jeered. Now that a fascist America is starring you in the face, it’s someone else’s fault for not saving you from yourself, right? Right?

  14. Democrats are the blue-collar workers who put on Tupac on the way to work and then bend over for their boss and repeat that daily. Grow some balls and fight back.

  15. chuck and mitch have ruined this country with their inability to make good for humanity decisions

  18. Can you also direct that at Jeffries too … he is actually worse the Schumer imo. Jeffries is hell bent on keeping the democrats leaning towards the moderates. Absolutely terrible politician fighting for drug and insurance companies.

  22. Step 1 do not elect anyone over 70. Step 2 Do not elect any convicted criminals

  23. Chuckles is a spineless coward, a double dealing traitorous, republican sell out! Chuckles and DICK Durbin need to go! Time for leadership with a back bone that won’t back down!

  24. The Democrats are running around like chickens with their heads cutoff!! Pathetic.

  25. I like how everybody’s blaming Schumer for inaction when half the population hasn’t even voted to expel the orange turd in the first place.

  26. What?!! No way! I know a lot of tough mean 75 year old fighters! Wait… nope they are usually dead or so weak they want to be.

    The Democrats won’t win anything with geriatric leadership.

    Ageist? Absolutely because if you’re not going to fight like hell then get the hell out. The stakes are too high for those that can’t fight

  27. Burn it down and build a new party.
    The geriatrics will still grip it on their death beds.

  29. The stakes were high when they ran a losing candidate for president. The stupid mother fuckers never learn. This is what they did when they sabotaged Bernie to run Hillary. We didn’t want Biden, we didn’t want Hillary and we sure as fuck don’t want to lose when the Republican Party was in their death throes. We need aggressive leadership on the left not a bunch of pussies.

  30. Give Bernie the fucking reigns. If the DNC hadn’t shafted him in 2016 we would never have gotten to this point. Listen to the will of the people. It’s not the current democratic party.

  31. Neville Chamberlain set a better example than Schumer at this point

  32. Schumer still thinks that the GOP is a functional political party that’s just caught up in a moment. He is blind, and hasn’t seen that it is a cult, and that it will not respond to the typical political movements. As long as Trump is alive and in office, there is no “bottom of the barrel” for how low they will go.

  33. Get the corpse out of the Senate. He’s stinking the whole places and is haunting the corridors of freedom and his “constituents”. Rest now Schumer, you can spend time with your like minded Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Primary, Primary; Primary!

  34. I am pretty sure his handlers had something to do with his recent activities. Go where the money is

  35. We could have let the government shutdown happen, and then it would have been trump’s discretion of what department agencies to open back up.
    How fucked would we have been then?
    You might as well put a crown on his dickhead

  36. That’s like saying victim shouldn’t dress so provocatively. Blame the fascists for fascism.
