      Charles Schumer makes policy decisions based on an imaginary Republican family.

      Democrats have been basically Republicans since the Clinton administration.

      Democrats are controlled opposition, which the belief is solidified by the recent senate vote. I’ll still vote blue, but if the politician option of it being a coward/establishment then I might as well vote for a rat. Absolute disgusted our elected leaders have no spine as Republicans continue on their quest to achieve fascism and white supremacy.

      Fuck those 6 and fuck Schumer.

        why not vote for 3rd party instead of wasting your vote like this?

          When did America decide to remove first past the post? Oh they didn’t …so how is 3rd party not a wasted vote?

            not only is it possible, but it has happened and is currently happening in our lifetimes: either read a non-western history book to see several historical examples of political duopolies being overturned by 3rd parties (until the americans reversed it) or look for modern sources showing a 3rd party named morena overthrow its american backed duopoloy in mexico less than 10 years ago.
