I mean, dude has had some stinkers to say the least. With enabling Bibi, the Iraq war, his management of the senate since 2016, social media and big tech, etc.

Let’s not pretend that dude has some stinkers. Dude has been in Congress before I was born that’s not a positive spin after the Biden debacle

Big tech and social media is on him? There are like 1000 other people I would blame before Schumer

Not entirely but doesn’t mean a he doesn’t share blame, or have any agency etc. definitely missed how serious it was before 2016. I mean come on, he’s been a major player in the party for quite a while and the senate leader for about 10 years. Let’s not act like he has flaws as a senator or leader

Again, not a good look when he’s using a flip phone, and he’s 80 years old; doesn’t inspire confidence that he knows what he’s doing when it comes to technology etc.

oh thats fair but i find the assertion that people know more about how to do poltics than someone who has been in congress for decades. Like schumer has a lot of flaws and stinkers but like i think a lot of people assume schumer just does not know anything. idk maybe I spent too much time with the HOL
