Consider he can’t handle to NOT voting for another fascist cabinet member, yeah, screw this ineffective asshole.
In this very interesting video Tom Nicholas describes the transition from modernism to post-modernism to a new thing called metamodernism.
One thing he points out is that post-modernist political parties of all stripes avoided having actual stances and thought just playing the part of a politician - wear suits, use the right hand gestures, say the right words - was enough to get elected.
This is almost exactly what Schumer is doing here. As a post-modernist politician he can create his own reality and ignore actual facts.
“Polls come and go. Our party is united. We’re on our front foot, we’re stepping forward, going after Trump and having real success,” Schumer insisted.
Nothing said here reflects reality.
We’re on our front foot
He’s on his ass … which is remarkable since he’s talking out of it at the same time.
That piece of shit was coming here on his stupid book tour. Friend and I had plans to go challenge him before he cancelled when he realized he’s unpopular. Schedule a new tour, Chucky. We’re dying to see you.
Maybe that’s why he’s also struggling to get his message heard
Christ if this is success, what does failure look like
Chuck Schumer Struggles to Meet the Moment as Tuesday Unexpectedly on Calendar Once Again.
“Struggles” doing Atlas level lifting here.
Chuck is an absolute fucking loser.
As an old white guy, I’m really tired of old white guys.
Off ya fuck, Chuck.
More like coward sell out shows his true intentions.
He cannot meet the moment.
Why is nobody sending him a series of strongly worded questions!?!
They are though. He’s done, he knows it, but he won’t leave and it takes time to force powerful old men to retire.
Chuck Schumer is running the bet that the GOP will implode before the whole country goes up in flames.
It’s solely a hedge to save his party and capture as much power as possible.
Maybe it works but it was never for you. Unless you believe the democrats are actually “elites” that deserve to be in charge.
Personally, I think their time has come and gone and it’s a crying shame they were never once put together well enough to do something for those that come after.
Why is this guy called a leader when all he does is immitate a mall Santa on Christmas Day?
How sad for him. The times call for someone in his position to do more than going through the motions and other ineffective and performative bullshit
Nobody appreciates the artistry that goes into writing a good angry but very polite and subservient letter these days.
Who’s the old dude for us non Americans
“Leader” of Senate Democrats. I put that in quotes because I’m not seeing any leadership out of the guy. He needs to go.
Despite his name being the title and half a dozen times in the article, it will forever be a mystery.
I mean what does he do, is he like the opposition leader or something?
He does nothing. In theory he would be an opposition leader but he’s happy to play the “not quite as bad as Trump” role, which means he won’t do anything to actually stop Trump.
He’s the most senior Senator in the democratic party, he’s as entrenched as they come.
