Haven't you heard? Treason is acceptable now. You are allowed to commit treason if you have a solid, selfish reason for it. Selling out your country for a lot of money is at the top of the list of acceptable reasons for Treason.
His own made up middle class reactionaries don't even support him. He's playing to the imaginary middle, that even in his imagination are supporting republicans. Meanwhile spiting the actual left they can't win elections without, as well as the half of the population that doesn't vote because there are no good options and because all they will get are people like schumer perenially shaming them for not pretending they aren't doing a fine job to justify the leaders' losses.
Doesn't matter the citizenship of the assholes. They want to prop up the defense industry with more contracts and protect other financial interests of the wealthy. Its a class thing not a nationality/ethnic/religious thing.
The number AIPAC pays him actually doesn't mean much because Schumer is so central to their operations that they would pay him literally whatever be needed to stay in power. 1.7M is just what it cost to keep him in power. They would gladly give him 20M if that's what it took.
Senile self-satisfied old fuck needs to be forcibly removed. But who knows who they’d actually replace him with because it’d probably be another pro-Israel democrat who thinks Amazon deserves more tax breaks and that ICE isn’t that bad.
Treason- The betrayal of allegiance toward one's own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts.
Definition: In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the U.S., or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.[1]
Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death,[34][35] or not less than five years' imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.[36]
Let’s start with the people actually currently holding power. They will be sentenced in proportion to their crimes against the American people and then be sent to the hauge to be sentenced for their war crimes against the citizens of Gaza
There is no one challenging anyone in power. You can't blame the voters alone for not turning out to vote for, no one. The problem is not the electorate, it's the system that is so corrupted that no one thinks they can make a difference and just surrenders it to them, even as surrendering it to them leaves us wide open to fascists seeking to put a permanent fix in.
We need new leadership, inside and outside the party, and we don't need new primaries for leadership outside the party. There is no time like the present. Until you bring that you cannot blame the voters as they don't have any other options.
The vote shamers hard at work. Try getting a good candidate to begin with and they will shout you down, but after they have their guy the other guy is worse and it's your fault when they lose because you didn't believe hard enough, didn't pretend they were doing a good job.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-New York) said on Sunday that one of his most important jobs as Senate minority leader is to “fight for aid to Israel,” as the Trump administration’s masked federal agents continue their deadly raids of the U.S. with little to no pushback from Democrats.
In remarks at a breakfast gathering of Jewish leaders in New York City, Schumer said, “I have many jobs as leader … and one is to fight for aid to Israel, all the aid that Israel needs.” Part of the remarks at the UJA-Federation of New York gathering were posted online by The Forwardreporter Jacob Kornbluh. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) also spoke at the event.

Dereliction of duty in such a high office is horrible.
Moreover, enabling genocide is unacceptable.
And this is what AIPAC Chuck Schumer will be remembered for.

Of all the things, funding another fucking country that already has universal health care is absolutely NOT your fucking job, asshole.
I'm sure many Israelis look over here at clueless marks funding them and their lifestyle of apartheid and murder and just laugh at us...

They get the quality of leader that as a collective they vote for.
Since fuckall turn out for primaries and 60% for the main vote, Schumer reflects the vote in terms of quality and effort.
When Americans start
blaming themselvestaking responsibility for where they are, they might fix it.Edits for clarity
