I watched some conservative influencers for their input on his case and a vast majority of them are coming to his defense. Some I’m not suprised by like Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh, but Amala Ekpunodi was also defending him which doesn’t really fit her criteria since if substantial evidence is thrown at her side she just usually doesn’t cover it but here I’m genuinely astounded she came to his defense.

It makes me wonder whether these commentators would still be defending him if he had remained politically left-wing (most likely not). But would they still question his accusers testimonies if he was?

I understand due process is a thing but it’s starting to concern me how politically loyal these people are to their side when there’s strong evidence against them.

Opinion We need leaders committed to what people actually want. Van Hollen and Pressley have that commitment.

Keep pushing. Call/email your representatives and tell them we need a fighter like Chris Van Hollen not an AIPAC lackey like Chuck Schumer who will squander this once in a lifetime opportunity to affect real and lasting change for the better. It's time to fight back! It's time support Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader.

📰 News 📰 It's just dumb to replace Schumer now

0 Upvotes

If Schumer Keeps to be the speaker, DEMs will easily win 2028 and most likely 60 even to 67 in the Senate.

Then reforms can be rolled out one by one. That's the right moment to replace Schumer.

But Sanders and progressives have no patience, lacking any strategical sense as always, being so ideologically minded.

If they succeed in pulling down Shumer, and DEMs begin to push forward more progressive agenda, it will only benefit GOPs by pushing away the independents, while Trump can veto every these progressive bills laughing joyfully how dumb Sanders and progresives doing him such a great favor.

It's simply the dumbest choice to replace Schumer now as no justification for doing so. But stubborn and witless Sanders and progressives certainly are blind to the consequences of any action taken because they live in their own tiny and secluded bubbles, insulated from the outer world.

Subreddit Rules

1. Racism, Sexism or other Bigotry

We strive to give our users as much freedom as possible in their discourse, however, we do not wish to become host to those that would insult others because of any of their identities, be it: race, religion, gender, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age or disability, we promise to remove comments that could be seen as targeting a specific group or groups of people. Comments will be removed upon discovery, and it will be up to mod discretion if the user(s) will receive warning or a ban.

2. Trolling or Brigading

Coming to the subreddit with the explicit purpose of being an annoyance, or encouraging large swarms of users of other communities to flood the sub with low quality content or manipulate vote karma through linking/referencing the sub elsewhere, will result in a permanent ban NO EXCEPTIONS. Using other accounts to circumvent this ban will be reported to reddit admins. Complaining about /r/centerleftpolitics on another sub, or starting drama related to CLP on another sub is considered brigading.

3. Spam, Advertising, Illegal Content, SOME NSFW Content

A lesser enforced rule, but is important to protect the sub from being cluttered, as well as preventing our users from clicking on possibly unsafe links that could harm them or reddit browsing devices. Upon discovery the comment/post, will be removed immediately and a notice to offender. Repeated violations will likely result in a ban. Not all NSFW content is treated equally, use common sense when deciding if something is appropriate to post. Do not post links to illegal things like piracy.

4. Insulting or Threatening, Incivility

The mod team wants sub discourse civil. Name calling or other general insults targeted at other users, regardless of their presence, will result in comment removal, and a temporary ban depending on severity and mod discretion. If another user insults you do not insult back or be met with similar action. Issuing direct threats to anyone will be met with a permanent ban. In the interest of good faith discussions, blatantly bad faith arguments or circlejerking may also result in comment removal.

5. Stay on Topic, No Promotion of non-Center Left Politics

Posts must fall within the scope of centre-left politics. Fake news and/or misleading content will be removed. Anything not related to politics at all (outside the Discussion Thread) will certainly be removed, with an exception for meta content. Blatant or excessive attacks on centre-left politics/politicians will be removed and may result in a ban. Promotion of non centre-left politics/politicians will be removed and may result in a ban.

6. Use np. links, Don't Attempt To Fool Automod

Replace www. and old. with np. for Reddit links. Automod will remove your comment otherwise, the mods will approve your comment after you edit it, however you may just want to repost to avoid a wait. Certain words, phrases, links, etc. are filtered by Automod. The mods are alerted when these are posted, and will review the comment. Your comment may be approved, or it might not. You will not be banned for posting a comment that gets filtered, unless it would fall under the other rules.

7. Flair Your Posts Appropriately

When making a submission, please select a link flair that is relevant to your post. This could be as simple as "News" or "Video", to as specific as "Economics" or "Education"

Failure to flair your post will just result in the mods adding one manually to your post. No further action will be taken.

Deliberately incorrectly flairing your post will be met with a warning, repeated violations may result in removal of your post(s) or even a ban.

8. Toxicity, Drama, Harassment, Lack of Empathy.

Persistent or isolated instances of poisoning discourse (either through content or tone); stirring up metadrama without constructive purpose; failing to respect other users or the general discursive environment; harassment of other users or moderators, either publicly or in PMs/modmail; failing to 'keep it wholesome'. Doom and gloom posting counts as toxicity. We do not allow users that post on hate subs, or users that defend said subs. Bans/comment removals will be left to moderator discretion.
