when Democrats were prepared to take a stand for the CR vote and Schumer kneecapped them with a minority of Senators, the vast majority of Democrats were ready to fight.

Passing the CR back then without getting any protections for our social safety net allowed for the subsequent passage of the Big Ugly Death Bill.

police itself, and to deregulate, privatize and gut government programs plays directly into the hands of Wall Street and the billionaire parasites.

Democrats need to be pounding on MIDDLE CLASS KITCHEN TABLE ISSUES, asking things like, "Hey, Daddy Twump, if you're so fucking great, why do more Americans than ever have HEALTH CARE DEBT? Why are we getting squeezed to death by Wall Street nickel and diming us? Why isn't college affordable, and why do so many of our kids and grandkids end up BURIED IN PREDATORY STUDENT DEBT??? Why isn't childcare available and affordable? Why do I have to pay out the nose for my prescriptions?

And why the fuck are we spending OUR TAX MONEY on shit we don't need like trillion dollar military budgets and an ICE secret police force? How the hell does that help me AT MY KITCHEN TABLE.

It doesn't help me. Not at all. The last time the US government did anything that actually helped me and my family was the passage of the ACA, because pre-existing conditions were outlawed. That was good, but what would be better is Medicare for all.

Hey, I have an idea Chuck. Grow a spine and stand up to these GOP nazis. They aren't bipartisan. You gotta stop letting them roll over you. I don't give a shit if your donors are happy, Chuck. I am not happy. We need to start focusing on KITCHEN TABLE ISSUES AND REBUILDING THE MIDDLE CLASS.

Until we drive the money changers (and their comfy enablers - talking to you Chuck) out of the temple nothing is going to change.

He's been bad lately.

and actually holding him accountable.

in 1 year this man has uprooted the world.

When we are in power, we go very slow.

Nobody and I mean NOBODY gets a pass from me on voting in FAVOR of masked secret police abusing, terrorizing, gassing, beating, jailing, maiming and even deporting and KILLING AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Nobody gets a pass.

But they aren't a Police Force - they are a Paramilitary Organization with Miller as General.

of their historical context and the images they conjure up in even those who are only vaguely informed, at best.

Right now this administration is hiding a secret militia in the open under the banner of law enforcement. They are using the power of the law, even while they treat the law itself with seething derision and mockery. I find the term “secret police” an effective and quick means to communicate this concept even though I fully realize the term is imperfect.

time and time again.

Start standing up for us AND REBUILDING THE MIDDLE CLASS. Take steps to pull Wall Street's fangs because Democrats have allowed the Wall Street tail to wag the Main Street dog.

Wall Street is NOT Main Street, and Democrats need to be the PARTY OF MAIN STREET.

Of course he will.

It might hurt the Democrats politically if he was to vote against it. That would be his rationale.

He is out of touch, unfortunately.

...an initiative that is going to bring THOUSANDS of jobs to his state, and something Lutnick and Trump had little to nothing to do with making happen but thought they'd come onto his state and get a platform to brag about something their party mostly opposed when it was coming into being.


WHY THE FUCK SHOULDN'T HE PROMOTE AN INITIATIVE THAT HE HAD A PART IN CREATING UNDER A DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION?

Seder ratfucked Biden the last election, one of the primary 'Gaza' demagogues who bashes the Democratic party each and every day.

Why do people still promote these ratfuckers who deliberately helped Trump win the last election by tearing down our president and candidate with his demagoguery?

Apparently some people can't see beyond their own antipathies to Democrats and think bashing jobs initiatied by Democrats is some political genius.

It's a real thing and it's the most god-awful inhumane thing I've ever witnessed. You should check it out.

To return to topic, you do realize that the issue is not Schumer's attendance but his fumbling the ball once again?

...should they show up to promote groundbreakings when it produces actual jobs in their state?

Did Lutnick have more business being there than Schumer?

Didn't he crash the event to try and steal the thunder from Biden and Schumer and claim it was a trump achievement?

Didn't Schumer contradict him at the event and give credit to Pres. Biden?

Isn't Seder providing cover for Lutnick here by focusing this false ire on Schumer and diverting from the CHIPS Act that was a DEMOCRATIC achievement which provided the funding for this project?

...Seder is not only misrepresenting the event, he's LYING about Schumer, who contradicted Lutnick at the event and gave credit to Pres. Biden for making it possible.

...it's about jobs for New York, Who here is opposed to the CHIPS Act and the jobs it's helping create in states like the senators'?

Who is railing against this Democratic initiative, or actually thinks Lutnick is responsible for it? They need to educate themselves.

Schumer actually CONTRADICTED Lutnick in his remarks, not praise or support:

were the shoe on the other foot:

Schumer credited the energy of the groundbreaking to collaboration across different parties and levels of government.

“We are working together seamlessly to make this happen,” Schumer said. “Because getting this done is not Democratic, it’s not Republican, it’s not Independent, it’s America, it’s Syracuse, it’s Orange.”

...and make the event about the White House.

Having to explain this just made me feel dumber than the premise.

...got that going for me.

on having “viewed the clip” as opposed to relying on a published article. The viewer stated an opinion which I can’t say is a lie so I can’t agree with your notion that the OP lied.

For the sake of transparency, I would add that I do have tolerance for criticism of elected Democrats and Democratic Party leaders that is based on one’s perceptions of results formed over time, especially long periods of time. Results are what counts. In my view results count far more than party fealty.

They won't, IMO. They are stringing him along.

Our leadership is disappointing, IMO.

However, after the last "Moderate" Republican, Lincoln Chaffee, got ran out and the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society took over GOP Inc., there's been no chance of "Bi-partisanship" unless there was a significant profit involved.

And even then, anything legislative that would have been good for the US "at Large" would have some sort of poison pill giveaway to GOP INC. buried in it.

The opposition to GOP INC. is not to hire a lobbying and consultant firm and create a "Democrats INC.", with senators and representatives acting as marketing agents and sales services, because Democrats INC. is still a product chasing money to buy election advertising.
The opposition to GOP INC. is not to sell consumers a "team figurine" to put out on the front porch showing if you're behind Team Red or Team Blue. The opposition to GOP is people who actually live and work in the real world instead of a purchased facimilie, who can think independently, and understand common goals that benefit the majority instead of filling pockets every fiscal quarter.

progress on the economic front in particular has seemed like "one step forward, two steps back" to me. It has been depressing to say the least.

...does a handful of them supporting it make it a republican initiative?

This is exhausting.

That's it. Not us.
What used to work in previous Congresses no longer does, since before 2016. He appears not to have noticed this.
Kindly step aside.

is kissing the a$$/ring of the thug president. Schumer needs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cahoots.
Money is the root of all evil...

You know, for when something really important comes along.

Fascism kicking down our door isn't reason enough? I'm sick to death of "keeping our powder dry."

FYI - I posted something like this a few weeks ago and someone alerted on me. Our elected officials serve us, not the other way around. They should be held to account.

I think it's dangerous to give our elected officials a blanket pass just because they have a "D" after their names. It's an honor to be elected as a Democratic leader and one should take that seriously and govern as a Democrat. If we fail to hold them to account, anything could happen.

At a minimum, a "whip them in line" attitude by some.

It really means a lot.

...voters don't elect the Democratic leaders, the elected members of the party in their respective chambers nominate and elect their leaders to represent THEM.

Schumer is more progressive than the collective Senate membership, and a reliable progressive vote who had advanced ALL of Biden's landmark, historic legislation when in the majority.

They voted for him to lead the Senate, not his constituency who voted for him to represent THEM. Are you from New York? Did you like any of the legislation that Democrats advanced in the Senate when we held the majority? That's all Schumer, btw.

Calling for him to be primaried (he votes the party line) is cutting off the party's nose to spite it's face.

of life now. the social rules are chopping us off at the ankles.

in wisconsin, we have no national leaders nor do we have respect from the DNC or other high Dems.

Governor Evers and a brewery owner are the progressive ones that are making headlines that i see.


therefore, color me not sympathetic to Washington DC politicos

but in the case of my two Senators here in Oregon I am very fortunate. When they are delivering the goods, why upset the apple cart?

if they could share in person progressive appearances in purple areas— Wisconsin, Alaska, North Carolina, — i could have hope of being blue.

...it never happened.

“We’re here today because of the core drive from President Trump,” Lutnick said. “This groundbreaking only got scheduled at the end of December because of the Trump administration.”

Schumer, however, praised the federal CHIPS and Science Act passed under former President Joe Biden as a key factor in Micron’s commitment to central New York. Schumer said the legislation helped allow the federal government to “unlock billions of dollars” in incentives for semiconductor facilities.

“There’s a real future here, a real future in tech manufacturing,” Schumer said after the ceremony. “Have faith in central New York.”

“We are working together seamlessly to make this happen,” Schumer said. “Because getting this done is not Democratic, it’s not Republican, it’s not Independent, it’s America, it’s Syracuse, it’s Orange.”

...what absolute bullshit to represent a project that Schumer, himself, helped initiate as providing cover for Lutnick.

It's a completly bullshit take that not only ignores what he said, but is bashing the senator for promotiong his own initiative's success in bringing jobs to HIS own state as Lutnick tries to hog in on the glory.

Here, SEDER ACTUALLY COVERS FOR LUTNINK in HIS sophistry, ignoring that Schuner actuallY contradicted Lutnick and gave praise to Pres. Biden; something that Seder is loath to do because is mission is to bash Democrats each and every day.

Everyone who recced this is a victim of Seder's ratfucking.

Of bashing democratic leaders? Also it’s not based on exact truth.

I was almost going to alert on it, but your reply post is important

Not just bashing; outright lying.

facts. It’s a shame, but the disinformation mongers are very committed.

willing to trash Democrats with misinformation.

...Al Franken!

And if the truth were known, THEY BOTH KNOW IT!

Hand the sword to people who will use it!

...signing the fuck out.

This place is infested with trolls.

Beware those who would hunt monsters, for when you gaze too long into the Abyss it gazes back unto thee.

Zarathustra

Bless your heart.

Passive-aggressive fake emotional attacks against Democrats picked out of a hat and trolled hard.

And we will, the country is going to take a sharp turn LEFT. And, I'm all in. Enough of subsidizing billionaires.

Get the response you wanted?

I totally agree with the historical summary but want to focus on a winnable solution to elect/appoint/glorify anyone other than a MAGAt in political power.

The ballot box has become a gauntlet for opposition to MAGA. MAGAts know Democrats are using that as a remedy and are attacking voting rights nationwide—don’t fall for it.

Resist 24/7/365 is every capacity, top it off with a vote in November. In the meanwhile today and every day, meme, whisper, shout, organize, and proudly stand up for democracy and the Democratic Party who is the best hope for ridding the U.S. of MAGA terrorism.
