In other words, for everybody not in Michigan it's time to call up your senator and demand they get on the list.

The staffer at my Republican senator’s office when I call and tell them to oppose Chuck Schumer:

How the hell did lose slotkin???

kreskin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 21d

Slotkin is a mega zionist, big business servant, and centrist darling. Schumer is not in trouble, he's retiring as chief zionist and passing the torch.

So that means Mamdani likes him?

Tzayad@lemmy.world · 33 pts · 22d

News flash, Mamdani isn't a senator.

hoppeduponcoffee@lemmy.zip · 19 pts · 22d

I think Mamdani is a bit preoccupied with actual work at the moment.

End of the day, the Senate majority / minority leader is decided by the other party members in the Senate, not the party at large.

Excuses as typical.

His future? He's 75 years old! He's already lived out his career.

frunch@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 22d

Apparently in politics he may actually qualify as a spring chicken. I mean shit, he's been showing up to work and speaking somewhat coherently -- he's already ahead of a number of other high-ranking politicians just based on those criteria.

While you're at it, please ditch Hakeem Jeffries too: those two are about as effective at inducing excitement and kindling hope in Democrats as two wet mops left in a bucket for too long.

You forgot Fetterman, too. Show them the door.

dcpDarkMatter@kbin.earth · 21 pts · 22d

While I'd love to see Fetterman get kicked to the curb, this article is about Dem leadership. Schumer and Jeffries are; Fetterman is not.

FoxtrotDeltaTango@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 22d

Yeah, I agree with you on this

charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 22d

I see Jeffries as a semi-sentient representation of a semi-soft dick that's currently in use in a porn video

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 22d

While the article is a bust, Schumer really has the problem of not actually being opposition. He is more "Republican Light" than actually trying to save the nation from the NeoNazi Republicans and their Orange Führer.

At least the Baileys are always on his side.

Manjushri@piefed.social · 3 pts · 21d

No he's on their side. It's pretty clear from his description of them that the Baileys vote republican.

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 22d

Alternative headline: DNC scrambles to remove DINO in their midst once even they realize the jig is up.

That's from a year ago, and the fictional couple that he constantly refers to as, "The Baileys" make an appearance.

Now do Hakeem Jeffries.

I don't know why Schumer should give a shit about democrats rallying against him. He will be on the ballot as a dem in New York state. It's impossible not to be re-elected, so who cares?

baronvonj@piefed.social · 2 pts · 21d

He could be ousted by a progressive primary challenger, though, as we have been seeing happen quite a bit this year.

That's because these STUPID Demonrats think we should spend Taxdollars on AMERICANS instead of ISRAEL! SHAME on THEM!
