Chuck Schumer is absolutely not the person to lead the Dems in the Senate. Not only is he an abject coward, he's in corporate pockets, and he supports the genocide in Gaza. On November 3rd, when Dems take back the Senate, Schumer must be immediately replaced.

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

Possibly. He's being talked about a lot as a contender for president in '28 though. We need someone as Majority Leader who can stay for at least a whole six year term.

Schumer belongs in the last century. He gives zero confidence the country is going to be saved. The Democrats should have their own version of Project 2025 by now. A manifesto that intelligent, caring people can rally around. Call it “No Kings” if you can’t think of anything better.

There are two issues,with American support for Israel.We placed the irritation in the ME,to stave off a revival of the Ottoman Empire.Israel, then supported most of Congress, with re- election monies,and both US policies and Congressional need for money, reinforced the dynamic.It’s Mickey’s brooms.

Fair... but had Jeffries spoken out yet? He should be the first and loudest. I can think of a whole laundry list of trains Schumer is not up to the job in the Senate though. This is just another item on that list. These entitled and useless people are what is wrong with the Dem party.

When most Democrats were telling Schumer he was wrong, he was going on every talk show that would have him saying "I know I am right". That's the problem.

The popularity of the Democratic Party is only slightly higher than the worst American ever born. Your leadership is not up to the moment. To halt the backsliding of democracy will require bold, articulate leaders able to urgently communicate the stakes. Jefferies and Schumer have GOT TO GO!

When he talks it sounds like he whines. He has no passion and is a weak leader. I would vote for Cory Booker to be senate Democratic leader over Schumer any day.

agreed moral clarity 2/10 absolutely unfit to think his way out of paper bag he lacks capacity to see past his giant, stupid ego

With you on this, but I find it at least as alarming that he hasn’t said anything about the betrayal by the Trump govt re Ukraine

Not replaced. Schumer must be REMOVED. Remove and file charges of Crimes Against Humanity for all the genocide in Gaza he gas been involved with. Innocent until proven guilty - arrest him and let him prove his innocence.

Israel and his imaginary friends upstate told him Americans don't care about domeatic issues, they just want to make sure Israel is armed and their citizens get universal Healthcare.

Jack, I completely agree with you. Schumer has done nothing to stop, legislate, or prevent any of the atrocities that the Republicans have pushed down our throats. I deplore him as a politician and a man.

Will Dem US Senators get the clue as well, because they're the one's who pick the Leader? Hope the House gets the same clue and finds someone besides Jeffries to lead the Dems, and Trump (and his entire administration's) Impeachment, Conviction, and Removal. He's too performative, not substantive.

I worry so much that the Dem's leadership will fail us in changing the game when it comes to corruption, lying, and running over the "norms". We need some fucking bulldogs with heart, conviction and fearlessness. Biden fucked up big time with Garland-it would have made a huge diff with a bulldog

Schumer is such a fence sitter. His vote is undependable because he is a coward. We need someone new, someone with integrity that puts their vote where their voice is. Like-Jon Ossoff or Chris Murphy or Elizabeth Warren or my pick Lisa Blunt Rochester.

As an Arizona resident, I will be incredibly disappointed in my two Democratic senators, Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, if they don't push for change in Senatorial leadership! Chuck MUST go!

If Democratic leadership can’t see that what’s currently happening is not just a rebuke of Republicans but the entire system. They may not be up for reelection but they will be. Start actually working for the people, not your wallet.

I'm all in with Chris Murphy to be the leader He's pushing forward as a leader and I for one think he'd be a great replacement for Schumer. I feel the same as many do about Jeffries, he's not a leader and his little tete a tete with Kushner was the final straw for me.

Schumer is past his prime and should step aside. He has had a great career but can no longer keep up with what the party and people need. He will never agree to cut off money to Israel and it’s time we spent that money on saving the people of Gaza and going after Bibi.

He’s a Trump supporter. These people haven’t stopped any deportations, why would this be different? The only difference is it’s someone with a big name. Someone in office. They aren’t gonna stop it. Or he’ll torture them.

I stood up to Trump. Therefore I’m a foreign adversary in trumpland. It’s not the USA anymore. I have had to smell shit all day. It’s like smelling the decay of a shitting body. This is the worst fucking country in the world.

I’m so sick of these institutional Dems - they’re being fed from the same trough as the corrupt Rethuglicans. Dems better not waste the opportunity if they are given it!

I dont think a stale, pale long-term member of the house is the right decision for the Dems. The house-dems need genuine, trustworthy, inclusive leadership and Chuck Schumer is not that man. And that's before the genocide and tacit disrespect for women and other faiths.

Do you know about the group Antisemites for Israel? They doubt the Holocaust happened, but love Netanyahu's war machine. Heard of R.E.L.A.P.P.I., Real Estate Lawyers Advancing the Private Prison Industry? They don't like being called Nazis, they're just helping with the contracts. #VoteBlue #writer

chrismaley.comFascist organizations you have not heard of. (That’s because I made them up.)Romeo Whiskey Tango, continued. The Private Equity Diversified Overseer class. SPOILER ALERT: None of the following nefarious-sounding organizations exist. Just putting that out there so tinfoil-ha…

We haven’t heard one word from anyone about Ilan and the hate she is receiving from this administration. Will someone step up and defend her or is what they are saying true?

Not gonna vote for any establishment Democrats as long as Chuck Schumer is the minority leader & remains in the Senate. FULL STOP. Here in NC Cooper will not be getting my vote & I am voting tomorrow. Same for any other establishment democrats in federal or state offices. They can all go get fucked.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen has been great as well, not sure if he’d want the job bsky.app/profile/vanh...

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov

Today, another American citizen & journalist was brutalized by Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians in the West Bank. This repeated violence & brazen impunity for attacks against Americans & Palestinians alike are unacceptable. When will Trump & Rubio DO SOMETHING?
