Chuck needs to go. Come on New York you are fucking the country with this shit.
For context, Marjorie Taylor Greene has said more in Omar’s defense than Schumer.
She’s trying to make her own persona/platform/character, so she’s craving attention hardcore.
For sure, and don’t get me wrong, this is meant as a condemnation of Schumer, not praise for Greene.
I wouldn’t believe him if he said he stands in support of Omar, but he doesn’t even care enough to lie like Marge did. Schumer isn’t even pretending to give a shit about anything that isn’t Israel. There’s no veil anymore. These old fucks are too lazy to even play politics in their job as a politician.
I think Schumer knows he’s a dead man walking. He won’t be reelected in '28, and he won’t be Majority Leader if they take back the Senate. Jefferies (unfortunately) has a shot of hanging in; he’s just as weak and feckless as Schumer, but he kept his caucus together on the shutdown, while Schumer caved. That’s why even normie centrist Democrats want him out, and why he can’t even be bothered to pretend he’s a political leader anymore.
As if we needed further evidence that Schumer is a worthless, contemptible piece of shit.
Schumer is the epitome of the establishment.
There’s nothing good about Schumer, so that’s not applicable.
Since he explicitly said that his job is “too keep the left pro-Israel,” his silence is perfectly in line with his job description.
It is enough to make one wonder in what country the Baelis reside.
Of course not. Its his full time job to “fight for aid to Israel, all the aid it needs”, he said so himself. He doesnt care at all about Omar, or any of us --except maybe as sources of funds.
Because he’s a scumbag AIPAC shill, like most politicians in the US.
It’s cause he’s racist
That’s cause he’s a pos who enables this regime and Israel’s too.
Schumer and Jefferies both need to be removed.
I genuinely think things will devolve to the point that Americans using political violence against the establishment democrats is the only path forward. It’s fucked up. But I feel like it’s the only way America doesn’t devolve into a nation ending civil war. Actually. Cuz looking from the outside I don’t see the outcomes of any of your elections moving the needle anymore.
Voting out republicans doesn’t solve the problem of establishment democrats preventing newly elected democrats from fixing anything.
edit: Hopefully I’m wrong. But this is what I believe will happen.
I don’t know that violence is entirely necessary, but working toward the DSA becoming its own thing and letting the Establishment Dems crash in to the hard reality that nobody supported them in the first place, they just disapproved of them less than the absolute mayhem on the right should probably happen.
The only way the dsa will ever have any actual power is if they tea party the democratic party. Remaining a third party will in most districts in the US just make them a spoiler that gets republicans elected.
This is the answer. If people want change, they need to get active and primary democrats with the candidates they want.
Wishcasting some kind of third party into existence is naive and the outcome is we get more Republicans in power and life gets remarkably shittier as a consequence.
If we somehow get ranked choice voting, it’d be different. But right now there is only 2 viable choices in the general. Do what you can for the primary and hopefully you feel better about voting in the general. Sitting out or voting third party is just helping conservatives and their agenda being waged on America.
I specifically didn’t say their own party. Although there’s something to be said for fighting for a 3 party system, it’s simply not practical given the structure of the constitution. The only way to have an effective 3+ party system is starting over from scratch. The USA would not survive such a ground-up overhaul.
Upvoted; but please understand, I’m not describing what I want to happen. I’m applying my weapons grade autistic pattern recognition to my background in attending and paying attention to history classes.
The Republicans and Democrats are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.
I agree with you, it’s not necessary. But I’m warning you that it’s inevitable. Those are not mutually exclusive!
Obviously not everyone is going to agree with me on this. Hopefully I’m wrong.
I don’t think anyone should rule it out, I just don’t think the death blow to the elites is going to come from partisan politics anyway. I think we’re past the tipping point where the system as built can be salvaged.
I just don’t think the death blow to the elites is going to come from partisan politics anyway.
That’s beyond the scope of what I’m saying. I only mentioned wealthy elites to illustrate the role establishment dems play in subverting progress.
MMW USA will either play an integral role in the global working class uprising, or no longer exist in it’s current form by that time.
Yeah, I dont think reforming the Dems is possible anymore. I had hopes but it increasingly just seems like me huffing hopium. Dems wont charge your family for the bullet for your execution, but they will still pull the trigger when their klpetocrat rulers tell them to-- same as the GOP. Some would say that lesser evil is the best we can hope for, I think we should all disagree and have a real government.
If we’re taking violence, I’ll start with Republican’s, thanks.
But Schumer is Republican.
Yeah, the Murc’s Law vibes are strong in this thread. Attacking…Democrats? First? What is even happening?
lmao no you wont
Not the way you seem to want propaganda man
Dem Centrist leaders will cheer you on, then knife you in the back when you’re fighting, then when you have finally got the republicans vlying anquished on the floor, the dems will lift them back up and forgive everything they did. Centrists are as much your enemy as your friend. Its literally in their name, “centrist”.
I said start with, not end with.
Which is exactly my point fyi. If establishment democrats continue to undermine the democratic will of their voters than inevitably their voters will turn to extra-democratic solutions.
Call it what you will. Says more about you than it does me.
Americans don’t get to gripe non-Americans wishing acceleration on them. Full stop.
So…. You don’t advocate for violence against MAGA, just the Democrats. Got it.
Welcome to fuckin Lemmy where every fucking thing the republicans do is a democrats fault for some dumb fuckin tankie-ass reason.
It’s a Murc’s Law paradise in some of these threads. It’s beyond ridiculous.
If I wanted to get that kind of opinion, it’s all over the place in every corner of the “liberal media” and the extremely right wing media.
Yeah. I’m seeing that. It’s like they aren’t clever enough to hide their bias though.
I think they were saying that it will take both. So it’s a bit of a both sides argument, but really it’s an accelerationist or total collapse argument if you really follow through on those actions.
Anyone that doesn’t actively advocate voting for the most progressive candidate in every primary and then preventing republicans from gaining power at any cost in the general is an accelerationist.
Yeah it sucks, but it’s the only rational solution in the current rules.
Old guys who are entrenched, whether democrat or republican, should finally get the hell out of dodge and let the next generation take over.
We give them the option to take what they have and cut ties with the rest. If they go out kicking and screaming, SEIZE IT ALL!
This, especially for all the Republicunts with heavy ties in the current admin. Lay it out and give it to them like this. Look, we know for the last couple years during Trump, your finances have grown exponentially. Through wildly illegal means. So, it goes like this, you forfeit all of your ill gotten gains and walk away peacefully. We remove all the bullshit laws that were created and disperse the money towards the deficit and less fortunate. if you have one negative thing to say, just one! WE TAKE IT ALL! And you get to meet Mr. Guillotine!
That’s quite extreme, but then again, so is today’s world.
People like JD? He’s the “next generation”, I guess. Or a few generations down, actually. He’s Gen Y.
Not sure what age has to do with it. Or the number of terms.
The answer is to primary fuckers like this with someone better. No matter how old they are.
They wont. They will need to be dragged out kicking and screaming. Very few of them seem to be honorable or decent people.
Voters can always vote them out.
That’s what I always thought but the big money guys like elon seem like they can now buy elections. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me considering trump winning a second term.
Well Zionists hate all Arabic people, so…
Can’t agree there, the government of Israel has gotten along really well with the government of Saudi Arabia for example. If you murder journalists and protesters and otherwise repress dissent they will try to work with you.
Please don’t conflate the elite Saudis with the rest of the Arabic speaking world. When money and power are concerned, the Israeli government will placate. When it comes to average arab people, they will persecute and subjugate.
The kleptocratic ruling classes of many Arab countries have happily aligned with Israel, openly or covertly, in opposing legitimate Arab democracy. And that’s not limited to the Saudis and the Gulfies. Look at Sisi and at the king of Morocco for two other prominent examples.
And this means that Zionists will treat ordinary Arabic people with respect, dignity and humanity - or are you still conflating the goddamn elites with ordinary Arabic people again?
Like seriously, Arabic people are second class citizens in Israel - and we’re not even talking about the beta Israelites.
I’m sure the Epstein class Arabs are well taken care of when approached by Israeli elites, this has already been established by the previous commenter - but it’s still not an argument against what I said.
Read what I actually said please.
Ha, Zionists hate everybody. They are the Chosen People.
And Islam hates everybody, they are God’s select. So there’s a wee bit of conflict there. A thousand years of this clown show.
It’d be a tidy summation if it were true, but its not historically accurate. Jewish people got along just fine in Muslim lands until zionism resurged. There has been 100 years of violence, since zionism-- which is racism.
Indeed, over thousands of years there have been times of peace.
However, you must ignore “Zionism resurged” and “Islamic State resurged”, which is my point. That “resurgence” is the problem, you see… that resurgence that will always be waiting in their most Holy Tanakh and Koran.
Christians have the same issue, it doesn’t take much for a resurgence of fundamentalists. Because these holy books are fundamentally murderous.
I wonder where that aspect of Zionism originated…
I hate to say it, but one of the big three is not like the others.
I wonder where that aspect of Zionism originated…
Mainly in the Austro-Hungarian empire, at a time when the government there was relaxing the long-standing policy of discrimination against Jews, enabling them to assimilate. The Zionist leaders were panicked by the possibility that assimilation might erase Jewish identity, and by the alternative possibility that a reactionary backlash against equal rights might lead to further persecution. The latter is what ended up happening.
The diagnosis of the risk was correct. The problem was with two linked features of the proposed cure: ethnonationalism and colonialism.
And yeah, for centuries, Islam treated its second-class citizens less badly than the Christians did. That didn’t make Islam a human-rights paradise, but consistent discrimination was more bearable than the Christian kingdoms’ pendulum swings between tolerance and pogroms.
All three have a lot to answer for over the years. I could do without any of them, but I think humans would find some other bullshit excuses and narratives around an invisible friend to justify subjugating other countries and subjugating others within their own country…
Humans will always find some other bullshit excuse and narrative… but only the religious get tax-free status over and above any non-profit.
We certainly shouldn’t be passing their tax burdens onto everybody else, for any religion. They are all unfathomably wealthy already, no need to add to their gigantic pile of gold.
They are all infested with a smug superiority and have proven willing and able to murder all who won’t submit to their rule.
They are dissimilar in some ways, but the most important thing is that they are all murderous and all have scriptural support to be murderous.
But yes, one of the big three is not like the others. For example, there are no PRIDE parades in any Islamic state.
chuck the cuck
Now that’s an insult to cucks. Schumer has no redeeming qualities
He is a total scumbag.
Schumer has an “Israel-first” mindset.
Don’t worry he’s typing up a very stern response that will be sent out after Christmas.
