Quite likely the most useless person in D.C., and that says a lot

    he’s worse than useless. he’s actively sabotaging other democrats who try to put up resistance. he’s complicit.

  2. Chuck Schumer and the rest of the spineless Democrats are also largely part of the problem.

  3. If the letter doesn’t work, Schumer may have to use tougher measures, including giving a stern look, wagging his finger, and saying “Harrumph!” in an indignant tone of voice. Schumer will, of course, only resort to these extreme tactics if given permission to do so by the Republicans.

    And…what do you expect them to do? They have no control over the senate or the house because the same morons that voted for T-bag votes for Repube senate and house majority.

    So again…what can the minority legislature do but wag their fingers and hope someone on the other side grows a pair🙄

  5. Schumer is useless, but there’s not much they can do. They have zero control. They better have a hell of a strategy for midterm elections.

    As far as I am concerned, Chuck Schumer is a collaborator who deserves the same fate as the current regime. The Dems need to get rid of him by absolutely any means legally available to them, no matter how underhanded or morally corrupt.

  7. If only he use the full power of the minority leader to tell Dems to vote against Trump legislation and filibuster things and oh that’s it. That’s the entirety of his power.

  8. Chuck has to go. He’s a stammering fool drunk on his own hubris. It’s so very cringy and that doesn’t exude any confidence for Americans, and his presence is a constant reminder of the Democratic Party’s inability to show strength. FML.

  9. I want to upvote… though I won’t.

    I have mates in military.

    American is gonna drag our country into their shit again… and it’ll cost lives.

    It’s guys like him who compromised that party. There is a reason why DSA wanted to primary Hakreem Jefferies as well.

  12. Yet every time I ask someone what they actually want the minority to be doing it’s either something they actually don’t have the power to do or just a spicier version of “strongly worded letter”.

    The American people categorically denied Democrats power in the federal government with the 2024 election, they didn’t want them to have the ability to do anything and they don’t.

  13. What do you expect them to do? They have no power and it’s NO ONE’S fault but our own. Stop crying and DO something yourself.

    The man doesn’t work for the US or the US people. We aren’t paying his bills

    Let’s blame the waiter at the restaurant for the toddler throwing a fit not the parents who are in charge of him

  16. Democrats have no legislative power. The American voter saw to that. When you care about government, but have no power, how do you stop a regime that hates government, enjoys destruction, and has all the power?

    There is only ONE thing Democrats have that they don’t use effectively: MARKETING and SPECTACLE.

    When Republicans are not in the majority, they are LOUD, VICIOUS and INSULTING to anything Democrats do. They have a media infrastructure that amplifies the Republican message of the day, with talking points and fierce adherence to the message.

    Democrats have NONE of this. There are no insanely wealthy Democrats willing to bankroll a Liberal media infrastructure. George Soros is not a thing. So all Democrats have left is to yell and scream to traditional media. You see the problem there.

    Democrats are also not comfortable with spectacle or lying their asses off to achieve a political effect. For all our praise of the proud American voter, we are actually incredibly stupid and easy to manipulate. Democrats simply aren’t willing or able to be as Machiavellian as they need to be.

    Frankly, what Democrats need is younger leadership – people who have no real memory of the “old way” of politics. Democrats willing to get in Republicans’ faces, speak uncomfortable truths, and hammer themes loudly until it’s conventional wisdom. And such Democrats need to have a little bit of vicious bastard in them as well.

    We are long past a kumbaya moment.

  17. Democrats are clueless cowards. There are no good options for American voters. Only cruelty or incompetence.

    The Democrats brought this on themselves. They let Biden run again when they should have gone against him. Then settled for Kamala who has the likeability of spoiled milk.

    Actually this could go back to how they pushed Hillary down our throats.

    For being called the Democrat party, they aren’t very democratic.

  19. I see lots of criticism…I was taught to suggest solutions when bringing criticism.

    Anyone have any idea how democrats can effectively push back, when they are the minority voting group that holds zero seats of power (presidency, supreme court and senate/congress)?

    Borscht eating Russian trolls need not respond….
