Schumer is useless confirmed.

Genuinely did not know this was a possibility. Holy shit.

I’m glad more people are learning about the parliamentary rules available to the Dems that Chuck has refused to utilize.

Gotta love that the Senate is like a poorly designed boardgame where any player can just grind shit to a halt at a whim whenever they want and the only reason it doesn't happen is norms.

The fucking thing runs on unanimous consent! How goddamn broken is that?!?

 

Glad Chuck is finally finding out that he's extremely vulnerable as a NY senator and is using that to not suck...but too little too late. Shame I can't vote against him!

I want him to get primaried by a Democrat with a spine as soon as possible.

So in contrast, how many times did McConnell do this as minority leader? If the answer is often, then yeah Chuck sucks. If the answer is never, then we should be happy that Chuck is being super feisty, no?

AOC is old enough to primary him in 2022.

If Schumer could have called a vote on Obama judges and didn’t, no. He’s a waste of a seat.

I cannot wait to vote against him so live vicariously through me.

Aoc could knock out gillibrand very easily. Chuck, the minority leader with backing from wall street, would be a stretch even for her

I think it depends on her NYC outreach. She obviously already knows how to campaign in her slice of NYC. So...

The other factor is the unknown after inauguration and work in the Senate. A good solid two years can paper over a lackluster previous 6+

 

If Chuck isn't willing to go to the mat for a president Biden and push some real legislative victories despite the majority, I can see blood in the water.
