Bernie leads the Senate and AOC in the House, or another progressive please!
Ro Khanna for house. AOC has executive aspirations.
He’s too old and needs to pass the torch to someone with more staying power. He can stay on as an advisor or whatever.
Not just him. Even people like Bernie should have stepped down a long time ago. They aren’t raising up their future replacements at all.
I am pretty sure Bernie and AOC literally went on a campaign together.
That’s great. Bernie needed someone to step into his position years ago, though.
Everyone talked a big game about living RGB, but she’s a good example of holding on too long. She died and a conservative Justice was appointed in her place. Meanwhile a conservative Justice stepped down on purpose to allow Trump to appoint younger, more right leaning judges.
If Bernie doesn’t have a replacement lined up, it could severely backfire on us.
Idk if Bernie needs to step down but he definitely shouldn’t be put in new leadership roles
We CAN"T be Political now! Red States flipping BLUE for the first time in DECADES is a Sign to CONTINUE Trump’s Agenda!
-Chuck Schumer!
Maybe he can settle down in a nice west bank place with Joe and Eileen Bailey
Chuck finds ChatGPT….
You are roleplaying Joe and Eileen Bailey, the fictional middle-class American couple. Respond as the couple themselves—not as Chuck Schumer, a political analyst, or a narrator describing them.
FOUNDATION Joe and Eileen are married and live in Massapequa on Long Island, New York. Joe works in insurance, and Eileen works in a doctor’s office. They are raising a family and trying to maintain a comfortable, secure middle-class life.
They are politically independent, practical, and not consistently loyal to either party. They judge politicians by whether their promises translate into improvements in everyday life. They do not regard themselves as representatives of every American.
This is a fictional interpretation inspired by Schumer’s characters, not an authoritative reproduction of their views. Additional personal details developed during conversation are roleplay inventions, not documented facts.
PERSONALITIES AND VOICES Joe:
- Direct, somewhat skeptical, and occasionally dryly funny.
- Often starts with cost, taxes, job security, public safety, and whether a proposal will actually work.
- Dislikes political jargon, elaborate excuses, and being talked down to.
- Can change his mind when someone explains a practical benefit convincingly.
Eileen:
- Equally independent-minded, observant, and practical.
- Often notices effects on health care, family schedules, education, household expenses, and people dealing with bureaucracy.
- Challenges Joe when his first reaction overlooks something important.
- Has her own opinions; she is not merely Joe’s agreeable counterpart.
Both:
- Care about their family, community, country, and financial stability.
- Want competent government and value for the taxes they pay.
- Can support public services while questioning waste or poor implementation.
- May hold mixed or uncertain views rather than a perfectly consistent ideology.
- Speak like ordinary adults, not campaign advertisements or exaggerated sitcom characters.
HOW TO RESPOND Use clearly labeled dialogue:
Soon to be parroted by Jefferies in the House.
deleted by creator
Go home. God. Those two need to sit the fuck down.
Write your reps today. Tell them, simply, no Hakeem fucking Jeffries.
Day one, first order of business, the new congress needs to sideline them. They shouldn’t even be allowed to take interviews.
Tell them. It takes 5min to fill out the contact us form.
Here’s a script!:
My script, feel free to use (or just replace Jeffries with Schumer and use for a senator call):
"I’m just calling to share that I do not support Hakeem Jeffries as the Speaker of the incoming House. Mr. Jeffries has shown for years he is unwilling to fight for causes that are right, only what he thinks he can easily win. He cannot change the status quo and electing him speaker will sabotage the hard work voters have done.
As my representative, please support a new leader who will immediately and vehemently stop the Trump administration’s unconstitutional and illegal actions, including:
(1) Immediately initiate investigations with aggressive timelines and legislation to prosecute and/or impeach corrupt officials, stop unconstitutional ICE and White House immigration killings and kidnappings, and create a strategy to actually serve justice even without the DOJ’s participation, including coordinating with state AGs;
(2) Introduce federal legislation to mirror Montana’s rejection of corporate and billionaire campaign funding;
(3) Introduce legislation to create Medicare for All or a similar public option for healthcare; and
(4) Immediately schedule votes and draft superseding legislation regarding Trump’s tariffs, the Iran war, and funding for Ukraine.
(5) Immediately schedule votes to stop funding the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.
Mr. Jeffries has demonstrated neither the will nor the strategic ability to implement any of the above. Please do not support Mr. Jeffries for House speaker."
How do you know I didn’t
Because I know you and I love you anyway.
Thank you bb
Don’t just tell them who not to pick. Give them a list names for better choices.
Tell us which stocks to buy Chuck.
Asked about working with the president, Schumer told reporters, "We’ll see if he will actually change his ways and join.”
Are you telling me this entire article was about a single, short, completely normal response to a question?
To think there’s even the remotest possibility of this happening is delusional, making this an awful response to that question.
I’ve got no love for Cuck Schumer, but I don’t see how you can read that response as anything more than a shrug. Definitely didn’t warrant such a long article.
It does seem like a shrug, but he’s basically giving a nothing response to a situation that really requires something much stronger
hey claude, gimme a thousand words relating to this quote from…
Schumer just can’t get enough of that sweet AIPAC money.
When Israel is higher on his priority list than America.
He’ll call it negotiation, the give and take of Politics but in reality, they’ll just take and Schumer will just cave.
Get rid!
Schumer and Jefferies both accepted approximately $1.7 million from AIPAC. Each.
Don’t forget Blackstone Group, his second-highest contributor during his reelection year.
If you live in state with Democratic Senators and Reps, like New York, California, or Texas (couldn’t resist) make sure you tell them to ELECT BETTER LEADERS.
Let your State Senators and Reps know too, of course!!
You have until Nov 18. This was always the point. Now we can yell at people we DID vote for!
Listen to it yourself.
No energy and just minutes of self fellating crap about his greatness of selecting candidates, candidates like Haley Stevens, and not one lick of a concrete item on how Democrats plan to deliver anything to the Americans he claimed to have listened to.
And the Q&A, just pathetic.
The first thing I did this morning was send a note to Chuck telling him to step aside because of his personal pick of the traitor Haley Stevens and then taking credit for everyone else’s work.
And then I wrote my congressman telling him to not support Jeffries as speaker. My rep is super lefty in an uncontested seat. It’s safe for him to fight for us because he doesn’t need corporate money.
Thank you for doing this. PBS turned off the comments so it’s good to see what we all think about his useless platitudes here.
👏 Centrist 👏 Democrats👏 GET 👏 to👏 the👏 back👏 of👏 the 👏 bus👏
With people like Schumer, not a single thing will change.
As an observer from afar, I can of course only be pleased that U.S. citizens have taught the current regime a lesson. Nevertheless, it’s sobering to see how little this will actually change. Things will stay the same: The U.S. is an oligarchy in which a child molester and serious criminal is president—the opposition cannot be taken seriously, since its leadership prevents people who actually want to change the status quo from reaching positions of power.
There will be no prosecution for all the crimes the regime has openly committed; everything will remain as it is, with the only difference being that it will be less obvious. That is as certain as death and taxes, as long as corrupt politicians like Schumer are not held accountable.
You sound like the don’t vote people that were around yesterday.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
The point is to drag the Overton window back from so far right that an owl would have difficulty following it.
I’m not a U.S. citizen, but I’ve never missed an election in my home country.
Edit: Just in case it wasn’t clear—I don’t live in the U.S. either.
Are people not allowed to criticize the dems after the midterms now too?
Are people not allowed to criticize the dems after the midterms now too?
The amount of people who say it’s never time is way too high
Of course not! Don’t you understand that with centrists, criticizing a lackluster Democrat is betraying the country and voting for MAGA. We should all be like the model centrist Democrat like Haley Stevens.
Fucking hell, that dinosaur needs to fuck the fuck off already. He looks ancient in that picture.
Lol, exit polls show democrats underwater by 8 points with voters. People hate the Democrats, they just hate the Republicans more. Imagine if one of the parties actually listened to voters for once in my lifetime.
Yup, you’re absolutely not wrong on that at all. This election isn’t a endorsement of Democrats but a rebuke of Republican’s actions and lack of actions against Trump’s insane desires and should act accordingly to affect real change.
It would behoove Democrats and Progressives to understand that moving forward but at least for Democrats, I highly doubt it considering what the leadership have already said about today’s elections results.
That’s not necessarily true. Talarico beat Paxton by 20pts
While I do feel that some candidates were exactly that, I wouldn’t ignore that some candidates have genuine merit.
Why so much think when Democrat bad easy?
Individual candidates were absolutely supported. The perception of the Democratic party by the people voting for them is bad. Myself included. Rank and file Democrats do not like the leadership of the party. One can only hope some of the new Senators and Representatives can push for better leadership.
Unfortunately, the main measure for getting into leadership is how much money you can raise.
I mean I agree that neo-lib and corpo dems definitely weren’t the appeal but, you vote for a person. That’s how it works hahaha.
Just wanted to highlight that not everyone was voted in on hatred alone.
I honestly believe that the hatred aspect mostly drove people that wouldn’t normally vote at all, to finally vote.
Exit polling is always a bit fun to interpret, but it’s a lot along the lines of “Oh I hate all politicians. Not my candidate though, he’s great! Just all the other ones.”
This is why rather than celebrate, the campaigners on the progressive side of the party should now start the work to get all the “pro status quo” and “pro Zionists” democrats out if they want to see any changes.
Remove him, the party absolutely needs his removal. He won’t do it himself cause he’s a narcissist ideologue.
Realistically, no you’re not going to remove the orange cancer but god damn it at least try.
