Few national Dems can claim Schumer’s history of delivering bitter medicine when his party most needs it. The long and relentless arc of Schumer's political career👇

How much did they pay you to write this?
Mate, c'mon, let's not start judging people based on looks because you're angry...
It's the era of dark woke. These people are actively playing defense for The Administration. Cruelty will be required. You, on the other hand, look very lovely. I hope you and your family are well. I hope we get through this.
lol
This is NOT a normal time. Functioning as if it were is going to destroy democracy. I have watched Chuck over the years, but like the climate outside (and inside), change is happening. And NOT for the better. He needs to step up and meet the challenge of this highly abnormal, criminal, amoral admin.
Schumer wasted precious time when Dems had control of the Senate. Not ONE hearing on Jan 6, Trump’s corruption while in office, Jared Kushner’s corruption, etc etc. Why not? He needs to step down.
A lot of talk about Chuck's ability to preserve himself and get others elected. Zero about what he's done once the seats are set. Just because he's shown some instinct on certain candidates doesn't mean he has a valid "read" on the current problem and no proof was presented as such here.
He did what he thought he should do. Fine. But he can still step aside. He’s not the leader we need for a revolt. In all these years, he never really shoved things down the Reps throats as they’ve done to Dems. He’s never dealt with corruption in scotus. He may be good but not for this moment
Wish he would arc himself into retirement.
So, you’re saying he’s old?
Is this the same Chuck Schumer who voted to kill a bunch of Iraqi babies?
Schumer has got to go. Who the hell has time to write and then try to promote a book that I hope nobody reads or supports. He looks Bought and paid for.
There's so much stupid in this but basically it's like arguing because Aaron Rodgers had a long, successful career, he's still got it. But Rodgers is old and sucks now, and so does Schumer.
Yeah. Schumer’s negatives totally outweigh his positives.
Schumer is useless as tits on a nun!
Terrible article. Did Schumer pay them for this?
I would have like to have seen at least some token resistance, especially after he left the house democrats to hang.
The author of this tripe is deranged - Charlie Mahtesian. Donald Trump praised Schumer. If Donald Trump is applauding something you're doing, you need to stop and reconsider your life choices, because you have fucked up.
There were two bad choices. Schumer, after wandering around a bit, took the one that was least bad.
Even Pelosi was telling him to grow a spine. Instead he wrote his epitaph.
Shutting down the government would have accomplished nothing. The Dems would've been blamed because, fact that. The "non-essential" workers would be sent home: targets for Musk. The GOP would have sat on their hands and laughed. Eventually, when the checks stopped coming, the Dems would have caved.
Read the article - it's important to retain some perspective on the gov't shutdown votes. I didn't agree but I understood what Sen. Schumer said and why he voted the way he did. We can (still) disagree but go on to support each other. It's the American thing to do.
Did his staff write this?
LOL. This article is *almost* as clueless as Schumer is.
Bye-bye Chuck!
Charlie Mahtesian should be embarrassed having written this out of touch garbage.
Hahaha! Eat a whole bag of shit! 🤣
BURN IT ALL DOWN. Miss me with this CRAP!!!! Also the moment #AOC announces her primary campaign I got a Benjamin waiting for her.
I have always respected Shumer since he doesn't ignore Western NY the way many NY politicians do, but its time for him to move on. We need new leaders on the left. Anyone over 70 needs to take a step back and let new voices be heard.
What the actual fuck is this garbage.
I think it’s what they call a puff piece and Schumer most likely commissioned it.
Hate to say it, but maybe he’s right. We’re angry and we want to see immediate action, but the prize is 2026 and 2028.
Maybe so, but read the room. That is not what the American people want/need right now.
Politico is trash and so is Chuck Schumer.
It’s time to retire, Chuck
You have to read the last line. The article doesn't absolve him. He may be a sharp politician, more interested in winning elections then advancing human rights. That may be true. But the article and all the rest of us think he blew the 'read the room' thing now. It's no longer a game. It's a coup.
It was hard to get past the first three or four paragraphs. All I could think is every dog has his day and chucks days are numbered.
I agree! And to tell the truth I scanned middle cos it was so very floofy.
Every arc ends.
We may have disagreements, but how many of these negative posters have ever been elected to Congress or have any strategic knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes? How many members even want the job of Speaker or Leader? Let alone get a majority support. Think of the long game first
Politico and Schumer think you are stupid... bsky.app/profile/josh...
Flattering but a bygone era in real time
You shitheads think you’re going to survive publishing shit like this. Obviously, your organization is run by idiots who failed high school world history.
You might be rich now, but that history could’ve warned you it ends badly.
Actually, looking at the overall picture & the Federal employees being allowed to go back to work per the court's decision, I thought Schumer was right to vote for the budget. If it didn't go through Trump & his jackasses would have used that as an excuse to never bring them back.
Time 2 retire Schumer. U r old school like me and ur actions 2 allow the Republicans new CR has betrayed us, the democrats. The democratic party should start selling t-shirts that say "I M A REPUBLICAN VOTING BLUE N 2026 BCOZ THE PARTY CARES 4 THE BILLIONAIRES AND MILLIONAIRES, NOT ME". CMON NOW!!!!
Did @schumer.senate.gov write this?
Read the fucking room Politico.
Schumer just sank the republic. What are you even doing?
How is this helping me when I lose Medicaid.
I was angry with Schumer at first. I looked at the list of Democrats that voted for cloture and they are all safe seats. He gave the party cover. Trump is a dangerous animal right now and the GOP would have pummeled them for shutting down the government and used it as an excuse further shred it.
The only problem I had with what he did is that he didn't stick with the majority. It made the Democrats look weak. The shutdown probably would have helped speed up the dismantling of democracy.
Politico is a mid right trash source living off its former glory. Due time for an unfollow:
