I hope Schumer enjoys watching his political legacy burn down around him.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

He's rich, he don't give a flying fuck.
Well. Money doesn't mean a ton if you ask Elon. The guys the richest person in history and he still has daddy issues and is miserable. Guy could fuck off and so whatever he wants, but instead he tries to impress techbros and has to be the best at everything even when it's clear he's not good at much beyond shady salesmen tactics.
Yeah, like someone in the democratic leadership would do something for the good of the country.
I hope the Bernie and AOC rallies start hitting 6 figures for attendance numbers, and that it turns into the start of some real change at the mid-terms. We’ll see.
Time to try throwing tomatoes directly at him

Why does he need 10 offices, and who is paying for all of that?
You are. I am.
He's a state senator - there are lots of fair criticisms of Schumer but I think it's a good idea if Senators are accessible over the wide geographic areas they represent.
Shumer has chosen his side and it's not ours.
It never really was, thats the crappy realization at the end of all of this. The dems left us all behind a long time ago, for whoever would write them the biggest checks. They don't even care if murder is involved. Its all been a big bullshit show.
Yeah, sucks to admit but the both sides people were right.
If Harris had won, would we have reached the same realization?
Hard to say. Starting about a month before the vote it seemed to me like the whole party kept making error after error and distancing themselves from their voters, and they havent done anything but double and triple down since then.
I will say that election could have been won by Harris if she'd thrown a small number of bones to the anti-genocide crowd and the working class. She chose not to. It was "yes to genocide and unfettered corporate influence peddling or bust".
Most of us realized this a long time ago. Voting for Harris was still the right thing to do though.
I think most of us have known it on some level for a while, just didn't realize exactly how right they were. I always thought Harris would be a bandaid at best, and I expected more resistance after she lost not total capitulation and running to Palantir and SpaceX (Theil and Musk) for money.
As Jesse Wells put it in a song:
The pills are all the same. The illusion is you get to choose.
It’s just like kayfabe in professional wrasslin’.
Call your senators (if dems) and keep the pressure up
Tell them to call for senate minority leadership to be replaced
Calling is just step one of building the pressure but it's a very easy place to get started
No democracy, no peace. No rights, no sleep. Get your pitchforks and torches to drag the bastards to the guillotine.
He's a civil servant. His home address is public info. I'm not going to provide it because someone would say I'm doxing him. Fucking protest outside his house do not let him sleep.
Apply for protest permits in the municipality. Do it above board. Just make him fucking miserable for the last decade of his shit ass life. Do not let him sleep.
