Since he explicitly said that his job is ātoo keep the left pro-Israel,ā his silence is perfectly in line with his job description.
It is enough to make one wonder in what country the Baelis reside.
For context, Marjorie Taylor Greene has said more in Omarās defense than Schumer.
Sheās trying to make her own persona/platform/character, so sheās craving attention hardcore.
For sure, and donāt get me wrong, this is meant as a condemnation of Schumer, not praise for Greene.
I wouldnāt believe him if he said he stands in support of Omar, but he doesnāt even care enough to lie like Marge did. Schumer isnāt even pretending to give a shit about anything that isnāt Israel. Thereās no veil anymore. These old fucks are too lazy to even play politics in their job as a politician.
I think Schumer knows heās a dead man walking. He wonāt be reelected in '28, and he wonāt be Majority Leader if they take back the Senate. Jefferies (unfortunately) has a shot of hanging in; heās just as weak and feckless as Schumer, but he kept his caucus together on the shutdown, while Schumer caved. Thatās why even normie centrist Democrats want him out, and why he canāt even be bothered to pretend heās a political leader anymore.
Thatās cause heās a pos who enables this regime and Israelās too.
Schumer and Jefferies both need to be removed.
I genuinely think things will devolve to the point that Americans using political violence against the establishment democrats is the only path forward. Itās fucked up. But I feel like itās the only way America doesnāt devolve into a nation ending civil war. Actually. Cuz looking from the outside I donāt see the outcomes of any of your elections moving the needle anymore.
Voting out republicans doesnāt solve the problem of establishment democrats preventing newly elected democrats from fixing anything.
edit: Hopefully Iām wrong. But this is what I believe will happen.
I donāt know that violence is entirely necessary, but working toward the DSA becoming its own thing and letting the Establishment Dems crash in to the hard reality that nobody supported them in the first place, they just disapproved of them less than the absolute mayhem on the right should probably happen.
Upvoted; but please understand, Iām not describing what I want to happen. Iām applying my weapons grade autistic pattern recognition to my background in attending and paying attention to history classes.
The Republicans and Democrats are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.
I agree with you, itās not necessary. But Iām warning you that itās inevitable. Those are not mutually exclusive!
Obviously not everyone is going to agree with me on this. Hopefully Iām wrong.
I donāt think anyone should rule it out, I just donāt think the death blow to the elites is going to come from partisan politics anyway. I think weāre past the tipping point where the system as built can be salvaged.
I just donāt think the death blow to the elites is going to come from partisan politics anyway.
Thatās beyond the scope of what Iām saying. I only mentioned wealthy elites to illustrate the role establishment dems play in subverting progress.
MMW USA will either play an integral role in the global working class uprising, or no longer exist in itās current form by that time.
The only way the dsa will ever have any actual power is if they tea party the democratic party. Remaining a third party will in most districts in the US just make them a spoiler that gets republicans elected.
This is the answer. If people want change, they need to get active and primary democrats with the candidates they want.
Wishcasting some kind of third party into existence is naive and the outcome is we get more Republicans in power and life gets remarkably shittier as a consequence.
If we somehow get ranked choice voting, itād be different. But right now there is only 2 viable choices in the general. Do what you can for the primary and hopefully you feel better about voting in the general. Sitting out or voting third party is just helping conservatives and their agenda being waged on America.
I specifically didnāt say their own party. Although thereās something to be said for fighting for a 3 party system, itās simply not practical given the structure of the constitution. The only way to have an effective 3+ party system is starting over from scratch. The USA would not survive such a ground-up overhaul.
Yeah, I dont think reforming the Dems is possible anymore. I had hopes but it increasingly just seems like me huffing hopium. Dems wont charge your family for the bullet for your execution, but they will still pull the trigger when their klpetocrat rulers tell them to-- same as the GOP. Some would say that lesser evil is the best we can hope for, I think we should all disagree and have a real government.
Soā¦. You donāt advocate for violence against MAGA, just the Democrats. Got it.
Welcome to fuckin Lemmy where every fucking thing the republicans do is a democrats fault for some dumb fuckin tankie-ass reason.
Itās a Murcās Law paradise in some of these threads. Itās beyond ridiculous.
If I wanted to get that kind of opinion, itās all over the place in every corner of the āliberal mediaā and the extremely right wing media.
Yeah. Iām seeing that. Itās like they arenāt clever enough to hide their bias though.
I think they were saying that it will take both. So itās a bit of a both sides argument, but really itās an accelerationist or total collapse argument if you really follow through on those actions.
Anyone that doesnāt actively advocate voting for the most progressive candidate in every primary and then preventing republicans from gaining power at any cost in the general is an accelerationist.
Yeah it sucks, but itās the only rational solution in the current rules.
If weāre taking violence, Iāll start with Republicanās, thanks.
Dem Centrist leaders will cheer you on, then knife you in the back when youāre fighting, then when you have finally got the republicans vlying anquished on the floor, the dems will lift them back up and forgive everything they did. Centrists are as much your enemy as your friend. Its literally in their name, ācentristā.
I said start with, not end with.
Which is exactly my point fyi. If establishment democrats continue to undermine the democratic will of their voters than inevitably their voters will turn to extra-democratic solutions.
Call it what you will. Says more about you than it does me.
Americans donāt get to gripe non-Americans wishing acceleration on them. Full stop.
But Schumer is Republican.
Yeah, the Murcās Law vibes are strong in this thread. Attackingā¦Democrats? First? What is even happening?
lmao no you wont
Not the way you seem to want propaganda man
Schumer is the epitome of the establishment.
Thereās nothing good about Schumer, so thatās not applicable.
Because heās a scumbag AIPAC shill, like most politicians in the US.
Of course not. Its his full time job to āfight for aid to Israel, all the aid it needsā, he said so himself. He doesnt care at all about Omar, or any of us --except maybe as sources of funds.
Chuck needs to go. Come on New York you are fucking the country with this shit.
As if we needed further evidence that Schumer is a worthless, contemptible piece of shit.
Of course he hasnāt. Omar actually cares and isnāt a corporate ass licker. She is exactly what Mr. Stern Letter Glasses On The Tip Of His Nose Schnuck doesnt want in the Democratic party. Omar getting denaturalized and deported would be a win as far as he is concerned.
Old guys who are entrenched, whether democrat or republican, should finally get the hell out of dodge and let the next generation take over.
People like JD? Heās the ānext generationā, I guess. Or a few generations down, actually. Heās Gen Y.
Not sure what age has to do with it. Or the number of terms.
The answer is to primary fuckers like this with someone better. No matter how old they are.
We give them the option to take what they have and cut ties with the rest. If they go out kicking and screaming, SEIZE IT ALL!
This, especially for all the Republicunts with heavy ties in the current admin. Lay it out and give it to them like this. Look, we know for the last couple years during Trump, your finances have grown exponentially. Through wildly illegal means. So, it goes like this, you forfeit all of your ill gotten gains and walk away peacefully. We remove all the bullshit laws that were created and disperse the money towards the deficit and less fortunate. if you have one negative thing to say, just one! WE TAKE IT ALL! And you get to meet Mr. Guillotine!
Thatās quite extreme, but then again, so is todayās world.
They wont. They will need to be dragged out kicking and screaming. Very few of them seem to be honorable or decent people.
Voters can always vote them out.
Thatās what I always thought but the big money guys like elon seem like they can now buy elections. Itās the only thing that makes sense to me considering trump winning a second term.
Well Zionists hate all Arabic people, soā¦
Canāt agree there, the government of Israel has gotten along really well with the government of Saudi Arabia for example. If you murder journalists and protesters and otherwise repress dissent they will try to work with you.
Please donāt conflate the elite Saudis with the rest of the Arabic speaking world. When money and power are concerned, the Israeli government will placate. When it comes to average arab people, they will persecute and subjugate.
The kleptocratic ruling classes of many Arab countries have happily aligned with Israel, openly or covertly, in opposing legitimate Arab democracy. And thatās not limited to the Saudis and the Gulfies. Look at Sisi and at the king of Morocco for two other prominent examples.
And this means that Zionists will treat ordinary Arabic people with respect, dignity and humanity - or are you still conflating the goddamn elites with ordinary Arabic people again?
Like seriously, Arabic people are second class citizens in Israel - and weāre not even talking about the beta Israelites.
Iām sure the Epstein class Arabs are well taken care of when approached by Israeli elites, this has already been established by the previous commenter - but itās still not an argument against what I said.
Read what I actually said please.
Ha, Zionists hate everybody. They are the Chosen People.
And Islam hates everybody, they are Godās select. So thereās a wee bit of conflict there. A thousand years of this clown show.
Itād be a tidy summation if it were true, but its not historically accurate. Jewish people got along just fine in Muslim lands until zionism resurged. There has been 100 years of violence, since zionism-- which is racism.
Indeed, over thousands of years there have been times of peace.
However, you must ignore āZionism resurgedā and āIslamic State resurgedā, which is my point. That āresurgenceā is the problem, you seeā¦ that resurgence that will always be waiting in their most Holy Tanakh and Koran.
Christians have the same issue, it doesnāt take much for a resurgence of fundamentalists. Because these holy books are fundamentally murderous.
I wonder where that aspect of Zionism originatedā¦
I hate to say it, but one of the big three is not like the others.
All three have a lot to answer for over the years. I could do without any of them, but I think humans would find some other bullshit excuses and narratives around an invisible friend to justify subjugating other countries and subjugating others within their own countryā¦
Humans will always find some other bullshit excuse and narrativeā¦ but only the religious get tax-free status over and above any non-profit.
We certainly shouldnāt be passing their tax burdens onto everybody else, for any religion. They are all unfathomably wealthy already, no need to add to their gigantic pile of gold.
I wonder where that aspect of Zionism originatedā¦
Mainly in the Austro-Hungarian empire, at a time when the government there was relaxing the long-standing policy of discrimination against Jews, enabling them to assimilate. The Zionist leaders were panicked by the possibility that assimilation might erase Jewish identity, and by the alternative possibility that a reactionary backlash against equal rights might lead to further persecution. The latter is what ended up happening.
The diagnosis of the risk was correct. The problem was with two linked features of the proposed cure: ethnonationalism and colonialism.
And yeah, for centuries, Islam treated its second-class citizens less badly than the Christians did. That didnāt make Islam a human-rights paradise, but consistent discrimination was more bearable than the Christian kingdomsā pendulum swings between tolerance and pogroms.
They are all infested with a smug superiority and have proven willing and able to murder all who wonāt submit to their rule.
They are dissimilar in some ways, but the most important thing is that they are all murderous and all have scriptural support to be murderous.
But yes, one of the big three is not like the others. For example, there are no PRIDE parades in any Islamic state.
Thatās because Chuck is, what we Americans call, a pussy. Always has been a sniveling politician who follows the money. Yet New York continues to elect the little fucker.
Dudes part of the domestic enemies club.
If you think Schumerās a pussy. then heās done his job well.
He exists for you to think heās a pussy. That is literally his purpose, and is literally the job his
employersowners pay him for.And he has a history of being a no-holds-barred fighter for what his owners want.
Yeah, he seems to fight for what matters (to the donors).
Itās cause heās racist
He is a total scumbag.
chuck the cuck
Now thatās an insult to cucks. Schumer has no redeeming qualities
