The Democrats are cowards and fucking terrible politicians. They’re also owned by big money as much as the Republicans.

The entire US Congress except like 4 people needs to fucking go. Not just Schumer.

The simplest explanation is that the oligarchs have assured him he'll continue getting his salary if he continues being ineffective.

because the capitalists like him there

Fun fact Chuck Schumer doesn't even pretend that he works in favor of his Democratic constituents. No Chuck Schumer's entire career is based off of serving the needs of the Baileys. A fictional couple he invented that he bases all of his ideals rhetoric and legislation around. They are Republican. Look this up if you never heard before it's the weirdest fucking thing.

His job is U.S. Senator, which he holds because he received the most votes from the state of New York. “Senate Minority Leader” is a position he holds because no one else wants it. It’s not a Constitutional position, like Speaker of the House or President of the Senate, and the U.S. Senate is a house of equals. Being “minority leader”bestows no added power, only responsibility for representing his party when negotiating with the other party. If another Senate Democrat wants to be responsible for negotiating with a senile man-child, they can call for a vote whenever the minority caucus meets.

The fact of the matter is that if Democrats had been elected, there would have been no invasion of Venezuela, nor Iraq two decades ago.

Let us not kid ourselves. Non-voting eligible American voters let trump take the reins again, with control of Congress and the Supreme Court, knowing he could pull shit like this at any moment, yet still sat on their lazy asses TWO Election Days, fondling their purity, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL, and now they're like... "C'mon Schumer... dazzle me and my most excellent purity over here!"

Elections have huge consequences, so spare us the righteous outrage. Whatever blood gets spilled, it's also on those soft, tender, lily-white hands of non-voting deadweights.
Also, twice is a pattern: "Vote for a woman?!! Me?!! When PIGS FLY!!!"

When you consider that the Democrats' job is to offer only token resistance and lose elections, you realize he's doing his "job" very well.

It’s pretty simple really he gets money from Israel and the oligarchs to pretend he’s opposed to things in the weakest and least convincing way possible. He’s doing a good job at the job of pretending to be opposed to facism while preventing any movement left so he continues to get paid to do that.

Think of it like a ratchet mechanism. He's not there to move things left, he's there to keep things in place while the right takes a little break to twist up the tension even more.

That's how the left works in the US now: They're not actually there to create change or movement, they just hold the place and keep things from moving until the right can get back in power. They don't do anything but act as a placeholder for real change - they hold their position until the right puts their screws into things again and twists us further to the right.

It's...ridiculously obvious once you notice it.

They're the party of the status quo. They'll probably take 50 years to reinstate the rights lost by this administration.

Major chunks of the country will always vote for the same party. That's why you hear talk about blue states and red states. He's in a safe area, so he has a negligible chance of losing even if he does a terrible job.

.. because he was elected.

How does/did Schumer, Grassley, Graham, Pelosi, McConnell, Feinstein, and so on, stay in power? I always get downvoted and naysayed when I say this, but American voters fucking suck. Just the absolute worst. People will blame the two party system, and they do have a point there, but those same people don't show up in the primaries to make a difference. They're too scared to vote for change, as they've shown over and over. Just a bunch of ignorant, self-satisfied, cowards.

AFAIK he was OK during Trump's first term, back then it was Pelosi holding back.
Now he is making the same mistakes Pelosi did.

His leadership position was voted on before the DNC chair.

So his threats to cut off funding to the state of any Dems that wouldn't back him still had some teeth.

It doesn't now, mainly because the DNC immediately jumped into the largest twin esture into state parties, ever.

He's been a lame duck all but maybe a month of this senate leadership term, and will almost certainly lose it next year.

If he doesn't, it's a bad sign.

His job is to lose and stall when instructed to by nazis, and he is a goddamn genius at doing it (though a dumbass for failing to see how dumb it is to do that)

Point is, he's doing his job: losing.

The problem is simple. Congress and Senate treat their job like jobs. Not sworn duties.

At the end of the day they don't give a damn about the USA and will always accept checks from special interest.

Gerrymandering criminals.

The Baileys' votes each count as 100,000+ votes

politicians are the least accountable poeple in Murica (probably in the continent)
