The only people who like him are the donors. The Baileys don’t even like him.
Too many geriatrics in USA politics. They need a nice warm drink and a blanket, not a position of power in a country that is rapidly leaving even the children of these people behind culturally.
>Shortly after Mills dropped out, McMorrow posted a video on social media boasting that she was the first Democratic senate candidate who would not support Schumer as leader.
Why would she lie like this? El-Sayed has said this many times already.
He needs to just resign his position as Senator right now and let Hochul appoint an termporary to take his place.
The Trump administration has declared war on Americans (literally, in a few cities, where he’s deployed militarized police forces who have terrorized and murdered people) and the Democrats want to play by the rules. Enough is fucking enough already. Get these weak, spineless, donor-slave pieces of shit OUT. NOW.
If there is anything that leads me to believe that elections are rigged, it’s that useless schmucks like Schumer, Lindsay Graham, Ted Cruz, Susan Collins and Jon Kennedy somehow keep getting elected despite doing absolutely fuck all for the American people.
Chuck go down to Miami Beach and enjoy retirement
If the Democrats want to be taken seriously as a political party, this guy needs to be removed from power.
If Democrats want to start winning people over before the midterms, get rid of Chuck and Jeffries.
Watch it not happen.
Wtf is “stunning” about this? The controlled opposition angle has ran its course.
Vote Progressive left in the midterms. Take the party back across the center line before the general midterms.
We need radical reform to undo the damage of Trump’s reign of terror, and Schumer is going to be an active and pervasive obstacle to any kind of reform as long as he has influence. That puts him in the same category as MAGA as far as I’m concerned.
Get out of the way, Chuck. Go be retired and enjoy your golden years. Ffs, man.
Chuck Shumer (D-Tel Aviv) no longer has anyone’s interest in mind but Isreal.
Any 70+ year old politician needs to step back. And I say this as a 71 year old liberal boomer who considers himself a moderate that supports fiscal restraint by government, but also supports some form of universal or single payer health care and raising taxes on wealth and windfall business profits to help balance budgets.
I have this rather simplified belief that corporations need to pay the government before they reward the stock holders. Crazy talk, I know, but corporations need to help fund the system that enables them to reap those huge profits, and it is not normal for the investor class to demand a government that makes sure they get their 20% ROI every year as the federal government slips into bankruptcy.
But back to my original point. Us old farts need to get out of the way and allow folks most effected in the future by todays decisions to be in charge. The wisdom of age is great, but that doesn’t necessarily guarantee a brighter future. It’s like trying to solve a modern problem with last centuries technology because that’s all you know.
Political division, and income and wealth stratification, are at all time highs and getting worse. I’m pretty sure more of the same as the past three decades from politicians is not going to resolve those two things and the web of dysfunction that emanates from them.
The Dem establishment still think it’s the Clinton era. They think Republicans are just playing a game. They are completely out of touch and need to go.
If you are older than 65 years old, it’s time to hand off the reins.
The old guard has failed the democracy, out of fear.
This article doesn’t mention the actual progressive candidate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, who has been calling out Chuck Schumer this whole time. What a bullshit article. He is polling neck and neck with McMorrow so it’s not even like he’s trailing.
The dems have to be a party made up of more than left leaning republicans for things to change.
If you’re a party that loses to a pedophile criminal, twice, I think that’s a sign that leadership needs to change
„For Every Democrat We Lose, We Pick Up 2 or 3 Republicans“ – some idiot that shouldn’t shouldn’t be leading a political party
I’m paraphrasing, but not by much.

Schumer, Jeffries, Gillibrand, Booker, Newsom, Slotkin, Gottheimer, Fetterman, etc etc etc all need to gtfo of the party. Corporate shills got us into this mess and deserve to be expelled.
For a little background read up on the history of NY’s Tammany Hall democrats. It’s about as machine-y as it gets. They don’t represent the people. They rep the machine…the voters are an afterthought.
Chuck, go to Florida or California or wherever and put on a floral shirt and take a book, go to a lounger, and stay the fuck out of politics. You’re out of touch, you’re a hindrance to the success of progressives and moderates, and your time is done.
Maybe it’s a sign that this guy shouldn’t be the leader. But if he’s making centrists lose then please continue.
Choosing to talk up Mcmurrow in Michigan is certainly a choice.
Abdul El-Sayed is leading the polls as an outsider, but okay
Hard disagree, i want him to tank more establishment dems in the primaries
Jeffries replaced pelosi and everyone cheered. Now he’s just as hated. They’ll just replace schumer with someone younger with the same exact ideology.
78 years old. Why does anyone think the people who caused so many of these problems have any interest in fixing them?
He should’ve just stayed away involving this race. Had he not pressured Mills, there were apparently a couple other, perfectly normal „outsider“ types looking to jump in.
Now you can seriously question the potential for Platner to even get through. He might, but I’ve seen stuff here and there from people in the northeast saying folks online are overestimating him already as is (specifically focused on Maine 2 and him probably being overestimated there).
(and gosh darn it, I’m breaking my rules here, should just lurk)
It is time for generational change in the US.
In the same way I won’t shed a tear when Mitch McConnell passes on, you won’t catch me misty eye when Chuck leaves this mortal coil. Mitch might have fucked over the entire country but Schumer is the man that let him do it and stifled the Democratic Party during his entire tenure.
People need to stop calling this a bug, it’s a goddamn feature.
Schumer and Jeffries are doing a fantastic job following the directions of the wealthy who have them by the balls. And the wealthy play both political aisles to ensure that their decades-long wealth redistribution racket continues to keep cranking.
The level of anger building in the country makes it fertile ground for real meaningful change right now. The Elite can’t have that so they know that with the inevitable changing of the guard, they need two stooges on both chambers to sabotage attempts to stop the money from flowing.
Duck Chuck.
The DNC needs an enema. The root cause analysis can wait until after midterms and out of an abundance of caution Schumer needs to at the very least shut the fuck up. Dem complacency is straight up diabolical at this point in our nation’s history. Schumer thinks doing what he’s always done will work and instead it’s shooting our country into reverse. I’m so sick of old white men condescendingly telling us what’s best for us. And I’m 53. We need young, bright, energized aggressive representation against the old Ironsides GOP. Schumer is like a boss who knows you’re being bullied but is friends with the bully so tells you to take it. Fuck him.
Best line from the article:
“… the institutions that got us to this point cannot be the ones to get us out of it.”
The article bring up Fetterman as an example where an outspoken progressive can backfire, but come on- the guy had a stroke.
Schumer is the poster boy for everything wrong with the Democratic Party today. It’s not just that he’s old- Warren and Bernie are old; it’s that he is THE corporate democrat personified. His loyalty is always to Israel first, then to some kind of ideal world where concessions to corporations are supposed to be met with concessions to the working class and poor. The world, particularly corporations, have proven that they do not work that way. They would take all of your water and sell it to the highest bidder. They would steal your electricity to subsidize their data center and AI power over you. They would chop down the forest to build their strip mine. And if your state says ‘no’, they’ll go to a state filled with naive Republican voters and do it there. If your country says ‘no’, they’ll take it to a poor one and do it there- though these days they’ll just fund a propaganda campaign through a paid and bought law like Citizens United.
Schumer’s mindset is doing more harm than doing nothing at all. He and his type need to leave.
Chuck is a sell out. An agent of Israel. He needs to go!
I get the feeling that everyone hates Chuck and that Chuck must go.
As one of his constituents I want him gone.
few things DJT getting elected again showed.
1. How much Racism and hate is still in America.
2. However much corruption we thought was in government, it was / is Soooooo much worse.
3. The republican party has become mostly ineffective due to refusal to move forward and realize what worked 50 years ago no longer works.
The scary thing, to me, is what has basically been admitted to in the fallout of all of this. There has been a lot of [online/press](https://www.notus.org/2026-election/janet-mills-exit-maine-schumer-platner) back-and-forth between the Mills campaign and Schumer staffers. The basic story is that the Mills campaign claims Schumer didn’t support nor fundraise for her enough, while Schumer claims they did all they could do without fully putting their thumb on the scales in a way that would become toxic (bolded emphasis mine):
>*The lack of support from Schumer was conspicuous, some Maine Democrats said, e****specially after he had recruited her into the race****…She got utterly fucked over by Schumer,” one Democrat said…A Democratic operative with connections to the race told NOTUS that Mills would have “needed significant money” to blanket the airwaves before the primary and “didn’t have it.” On why* ***support from Democratic leadership committees and PACs didn’t jump in to help Mills*** *in the primary: “You need to show life if you want a lifeboat.”*
But, you see what that means? It inadvertently acknowledges that they do this all the time. The DNC, DSCC, DCCC, and affiliated PACs go out of their way to handpick bad and corporate-friendly candidates in order to prevent better, constituent-focused candidates from upseting the apple cart and bucking the establishment.
It has been working less and less lately. And here they are just basically admitting that if it was more feasible to do it, they would have done it here.. again. But it was too difficult to do it discretely this time, and probably wouldn’t have worked…and establishment Dems in Maine are airing the dirty laundry about it.
