The background is Blue.

The words are MAGA.

I wonder if there is a term for this.

The term is "fucking traitor that needs to be censured and primaries". Get this MAGAt wannabe out of office, but first get him out of any democratic positions/appointments.

Sorry I'm told I'm not allowed to criticize Democrats so call me John Banner.

Wow, I knew things were bad but I didn’t realize it was this bad.

Same logic evangelical Christians use to oppress LGBTQ folks here at home, Chuck. But you knew that, which is why you don't care about that either, beyond your performative outrage to get votes.

These crusty old dirt worshipers need to go. Every last one of them.

Nah. Just guns at this point.

Schumer is really letting the mask slip lately. Time for him to go.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 19 hours ago

There's a mid term for this

Is Schumer's district mostly Jews? That fucker needs to go. I hope there are sane people in his district with an open mind.

Jews are very divided on Israel in general and heartbreakingly on whether or not it's cool to genocide. Chuck is in the genocide is cool as long as it's not against Jewish people camp, many of us stand firm on our no genocide no matter what. He's also a senator so represents all living in NY state, so short answer is no.

It's the whole state... Unfortunately no one ever seriously primaries him

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Look at what he stands for.

Look at what he caves on.

Genocide is centrism's only actual policy.

Even if you take what he says at face value, his conclusion still doesn't even follow logically.

This man has a mental illness.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish people wouldn't call moral failure a mental illness.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Those aren't mutually exclusive.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Of course not, but blaming moral failure on mental illness exonerates the moral failure while further demonizing the mentally ill.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

That's actually a really good point.
