that’s the Bernie way.
he knows it doesn’t matter.
like he also proposes stuff when absolutely sure there will be no majority.slotkin is an AIpac recipient, she probably sees its stacked against her favor if she supports the super zionist schumer.
It’s sounding more and more like our best strategy is to advocate to replace Schumer with Chris Van Hollen as leader.
If you have Democratic senators, you can sign the below petition and it will be sent to them as a letter/email from you:

Chris Van Hollen is calling his colleagues: https://www.ms.now/news/van-hollen-schumer-senate-majority-leader-democrats
Let’s get the new leadership we so desperately need!
7 calls to help replace Schumer and Jeffries:
- Call Ayanna Pressley and encourage her to run for speaker of the house. She would be a great leader in addition to being the first black speaker of the house - which eliminates Hakeem Jeffries false claim only racists oppose him.

- Call Senator Chris Van Hollen and encourage him to run for Senate leader to oust Chuck Schumer.
https://www.vanhollen.senate.gov/ Numbers at the bottom of the page
- Call your representative and urge them to support Ayanna Pressley for speaker of the house.

Call Chuck Schumer and demand he step down as Senate leader: (202) 224-6542
-
Call Hakeem Jeffries and demand he step down as house leader: (202) 225-5936
Repeat every day until we have new leaders.
whatever their majority is minus 51 senators will vihemently refuse to support schumer. it feels like an old bit now, but apparently it still works…
“We spent a year and a half talking about costs, corruption and chaos. That was all Leader Schumer’s decision-making and effort to keep our caucus united,” Gillibrand said, also mentioning Schumer’s fundraising and recruiting activities.
“No one has put into the time and effort that anyone has put in the cycle that he did,” Gillibrand said.
Joe Biden is sharper and more energetic than anyone in this cabinet meetings!
The junior senator for AIPAC making an impassioned but nonsensical argument for the senior senator for AIPAC.
Basically he secures the most dirty money for them, that’s all they care about.
Schumer decided that people should talk about all of the fucking things that were in people’s faces 24/7, for 2 years?
What a brilliant leader.
i like how many schumer defenders there were in the subs, when the DSA were winning seats, they are tyring to give him credit that he doesnt deserve.
“No one has put into the time and effort that anyone has put in the cycle that he did,” Gillibrand said.
Big “Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?” energy
“Have you ever had a dream that, that you, um, you had, your, you— you could, you’ll do, you— you wants, you, you could do so, you— you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want them to do you so much you could do anything?”
…ttuttuttuttutt…
Gillibrand, who used Islamophobic attacks against Mamdani after he won the primaries.
Yeah, this tracks.
Slotkin, really? Ex-CIA pro-Israel Slotkin?
Don’t get me wrong, Schumer is terrible, I’m just surprised.
wonder if shes doing this, if she knows the rest of the AIPAC wont vote against zionist schumer. or her own seat is more unstable than chucks,.
El-Sayed’s win was probably the tipping point, yeah
One of the best arguments against Schumer is not his centrism but that he’s just bad at the job. His bumbling smarmy media responses, his bad senate picks, and his last minute defection on the Republican spending bill are all just bad things for a leader to do. Slotkin may be a centrist, but she’s also a newer senator and can recognize incompetence rather than accepting that you just need to defer to seniority.
isnt he also the richest aipac senator too he has motives to keep it that way, hes worth like 85+million.
Highest AIPAC donations among Democratic senators in believe.
i had the same reaction. i pictured myself calling her office to advocate for this and my demands being ignored. shit be weird. i still want her out of office at the first opportunity.
I’m just as baffled. Maybe she finally listened to a the voicemails she got last cycle, or maybe watching Stevens combust in real time awakened a fear of following that trajectory
or she sees her own seat threatened to be primaried when her time comes for re-election.
So with these two and El Sayed, I think that means we need 3 more dems to stop Schumer from being marked as leader. Pretty sure that reduces the majority below 50 and results in either a revote or a new option
New York times was reporting schumer had the votes at the start of the week. I’m hoping it’s just corporate media bullshit, but I urge everyone to harass your reps.
From the article:
Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.) said again earlier this week he would back Van Hollen over Schumer. Sen.-elect Annie Andrews (D-S.C.) said Friday that she wants “generational change” in Senate leadership, after pledging during the campaign not to support Schumer. Sens.-elect Adam Hamilton (D-Kan.) and Troy Jackson (D-Maine) have said the same.
So
- MI - Purple, but kept seat
- S.C. - Flipped
- Kan. - Flipped
- Maine - Flipped
All want to replace Schumer. Seems like a pretty strong list of States that Dems can’t afford to lose in 2030. Better clean house before the Dems lose everything they gained
Yeah, that’s the smart option. Is that what they’ll do? In my experience, probably not.
Pretty sure the point is to force them to keep re-rolling votes to delay everything as much as possible similar to what’s going on with Israel’s PM election. I could be wrong tho, I’m no expert on the legal background of this bs
Dems need to do something different. I’m super worried they’re going to spend too much time on retribution and fuck this up
They can’t do right when led by someone who will constantly do wrong.
