Why are we letting obscenely rich 70 and 80 something year olds make decisions that will affect the rest of us for 50-60+ years
The US is a broken country and it’s hard to see a fix at this point
Too late for that
Schumer has shown that he is a GOP stooge
A refusal to endorse isn’t enough and he desperately tried to change the conversation. Grow a fucking spine.
he’s done
Kelly said, *“But I also hope they understand that we all need to be on the same team here. And what matters at this point is restoring these tax credits—if we can do it—in December. And we’re gonna work really really hard, and we’re gonna focus on getting the Republican votes necessary to do that.”*
There’s the issue right there. By „same team“ he means following the centrist minority who just swung their votes to the Republicans and he actually believes there are Republican votes to extend ACA tax credits. These aren’t normal political times, the MAGA version of the GOP will not engage in bipartisan solutions, and this is just woefully naive as to the reality of politics, the country, and our descent into authoritarianism.
So instead of showing some backbone and forcing Republicans to capitulate, Democrats decide to beat them to the punch. This isn’t the party to meet the needs of this moment. Far from it.
From old Chucks point of view the worst that can happen is he is forced to retire and spend more time with his money.
Mark Kelly – whom I have always liked – should have gotten a new asshole torn live on air for that non-est of non-answer.
Dems need to figure out we want *unequivocable* answers.
This non-answer bullshit will lose the election.
Anyone endorsing Schumer also needs to be primaried
Good
what a completely useless piece of cowardly shit. this guy is pathetic.
Any Senator unwilling to demand Schumer be removed from leadership as far as i am concerned are as feckless as he is
Keep up the pressure! Call your senators and leave a message requesting that they remove Schumer from position of minority leader! It takes about 30 seconds and holds more weight than a email!
When I called I made sure to tell them that I was a registered voter, member of their party, and frequent donor. Chuck Schumer had proved a ineffectual leader who could not even corral his whip for a vote of this magnitude.

Jesus fucking christ. They just can’t help themselves. He didn’t „refuse“ to endorse Schumer. He refused to condemn the 8 senators who broke ranks. Kelly just demonstrated that he doesn’t have a spine, either.
I am so sick of these sniveling, two faced assholes. The whole lot of them need to be primaried.
The reason Schumer is so useless is also the reason he’s so hard to remove as minority leader. He made a handshake deal with a bunch of the independently minded dems (including Bernie sadly) that he wouldn’t use the threat of removal from committee assignments to keep dems from breaking rank.
Refused to endorse, but also *refused to criticize.*
Maybe Mark Kelly’s spine functions better in zero-g.
Mamdani should refuse to endorse him. Like stage a question from the press to set it up. Lol
Its interesting to see that the Democratic party is willing to cave over a few flight cancelations… Nothing that Boeing or Southwest Airlines doesn’t do every other year… Party of the People I guess?
Go one step further, endorse someone else now to be leader. Chris Murphy for example. Just do it already and get Chuck out of here.
Schumer is a dumbass leader. He should resign.
We have a minimum age for a presidential candidate.
We have a minimum age for a congressional candidate.
The reason is that they are not prepared as well as out of touch with the community as a whole.
A maximum age limitation should be considered for the exact same reasons!
How out of fucking touch is this decrepit ass millionaire fossil? Schumer can get fucked into the sea.
Just retire all you old people. You have grifted and insider traded enough for 100 lives already. Just go away.
8 senators caved. 8 traitors. Schumer’s biggest crime this time around is being an ineffective leader
He sold out *everybody* that the ACA exchanges helped. Every last person.
I emailed my Democratic senators thanking them for not voting along with the other 8 and asking that they publicly denounce Schumer in the minority leader role, then work towards replacing him with someone much more effective in that position ASAP.
If you’re in the same boat, I urge you to do the same.
I’ve watched politics turn into nothing more than progressively worse versions of “bad cop/slightly less bad cop” year after year since Reagan.
At this point I believe collapse is inevitable. Meaningful change only seems to happen after hitting rock bottom. Like in nature, destruction of the old allows for healthy new growth. We have the party leadership in place to ensure our destruction. After watching the democrats give up any negotiating advantage they might have enjoyed I no longer have faith in a positive outcome. Sorry, it scares me to even be writing this.
