Chuck Schumer struggles to meet the moment as Democrats call for leadership

Chuck Schumer Struggles to Meet the Moment as Tuesday Unexpectedly on Calendar Once Again.

As an old white guy, I’m really tired of old white guys.

Why is nobody sending him a series of strongly worded questions!?!
- They are though. He's done, he knows it, but he won't leave and it takes time to force powerful old men to retire.

Chuck is an absolute fucking loser.

Chuck Schumer is running the bet that the GOP will implode before the whole country goes up in flames.
It's solely a hedge to save his party and capture as much power as possible.
Maybe it works but it was never for you. Unless you believe the democrats are actually "elites" that deserve to be in charge.
Personally, I think their time has come and gone and it's a crying shame they were never once put together well enough to do something for those that come after.

Off ya fuck, Chuck.

How sad for him. The times call for someone in his position to do more than going through the motions and other ineffective and performative bullshit

“Polls come and go. Our party is united. We’re on our front foot, we’re stepping forward, going after Trump and having real success,” Schumer insisted.
Nothing said here reflects reality.
- We’re on our front foot
  He's on his ass ... which is remarkable since he's talking out of it at the same time.
  
  That piece of shit was coming here on his stupid book tour. Friend and I had plans to go challenge him before he cancelled when he realized he's unpopular. Schedule a new tour, Chucky. We're dying to see you.
  
  Maybe that’s why he’s also struggling to get his message heard
- Christ if this is success, what does failure look like

"Struggles" doing Atlas level lifting here.

I have despised this craven, insipid, spineless weenie ever since he collaborated with a clumsy Republican smear campaign to ruin Al Franken's career.
Since then, he has been ineffective at best, and has been a cowardly collaborator at worst. It's time for this loser to be removed from office, let AOC take his place, and be replaced as Senate Minority Leader by someone bold enough to go toe-to-toe with the MAGA Nazis.

He's not struggling to meet the moment, he's struggling to hold his own party down. Make no mistake, that traitorous bastard is a collaborationist Vichy-Democrat, a blue-dog-Republican snake. He wants as little to be done about the exploitation of the nation as possible, so he and his doners can reap the rewards.
- he and his doners
  Please leave kebabs out of this.
  
  Lol, that one took me a second.
- Please primary all these dinosaurs, they were old when I was still young. I don't know your process but please get more progressives in the house and send this current batch out to pasture
  
  Schumer’s seat is only up in 2028 but if enough of his allies - preferably in safe seats - get primaried in 26 and the new progressives hold them in the general election (and hopefully win some back from GOP) I expect he will be forced out of leadership for the next Congress
  It has to have enough shift to progressives or else he will take credit and stay on. He will also be ousted if Democrats lose again but in that scenario MAGA will continue unchecked for 2 more years at least

Schumer is a deer in the headlights at this point. If we’re being generous, he’s useless. If we’re being honest, he’s a fascist enabler. And fascist enablers are fascists with extra steps.
- I’m going to say something controversial to some of us: It’s because Jewish people are the fascists this time around. Israel is a militarized police and tech surveillance state whose leader will be ousted if the war stops so he went on the offensive. Chuck is receiving money from AIPAC and doesn’t want the campaign cash to stop so he’s looking the other way while the fascists take over.
  
  Trump's a goy. So's Vance. A lot of the white nationalist MAGAts would be happy to murder Jews if they got the chance.
  Likud's influence on both Dems and Republicans is indeed pernicious, but it's money in politics and the peddling of foreign influence that are the underlying problems, not Jewish people.
  
  Zionists are the fascists, not Jewish people.
  
  Every Jewish person I know is opposed to aid for Israel, supporting their genocide and very vocally supportive of Gaza/palestine and very critical of Israel-the-country
  It’s not that he’s Jewish. He’s just a prick.
  
  Zionists to be specific. It’s not all Jewish people.
  
  Elections need to be publicly funded. Money in politics is the source of America’s decline.
- Schumer Pelosi and Warren need to retire or be voted out.
  
  This is Hakeem Jeffries erasure.
  See also: Durbin, Cuellar, Clyburn, Hoyer, the entire Blue Dog Coalition, King, Coons, Klobuchar, Tester, Rosen, Hassan, Peters, to just name a few of the feckless Dems (and one independent Senator who caucuses with Dems but often votes with the fascists) who still value "bipartisanship" over the wellbeing of the people they're pretending to represent.
  
  There's no time left for voting them out. We've already had our last free and fair election.
  
  What’d Warren do?

He cannot meet the moment.

More like coward sell out shows his true intentions.

"Struggles" is being generous. He is intentionally not fighting. The elderly leadership and all the AIPAC loyalists within the party major road blocks to any form of fighting back.

This is the man who said his purpose as a Senator is to serve Israel. He should move to Israel. I wouldn't be surprised if he already has Israeli citizenship.

There's no struggle. Dude has always been fash.

Who's the old dude for us non Americans
- "Leader" of Senate Democrats. I put that in quotes because I'm not seeing any leadership out of the guy. He needs to go.
- Despite his name being the title and half a dozen times in the article, it will forever be a mystery.
- I mean what does he do, is he like the opposition leader or something?
  
  He does nothing. In theory he would be an opposition leader but he's happy to play the "not quite as bad as Trump" role, which means he won't do anything to actually stop Trump.
  
  He's the most senior Senator in the democratic party, he's as entrenched as they come.
