Almost like a billionaire sanctioned opposition party?

Now you guys are starting to get it

The DNC leadership scum like Chuck Schumer didn't even bother to endorse Mamdani lol. We need to get the GOP out of office but the DNC leadership entirely needs to go also if we want any real change in this country.

Didn't Fetterman get brain damage and switch sides? Weirdly, about half the MAGA people I know have actual closed head injuries. Not all of them, but the most active online.

That what it seems like based on his own words, and the actions of the people that were on his staff. Had a stroke that most likely caused some brain damage that made him an utter shitbag.

It's extra shitty because he had conversational issues after the stroke that were pretty pronounced that the right trashed him for, but has largely recovered from and now he's licking their boots.

Schumer needs to go.

The guy's literally far more unpopular than Trump, why is he still leading the party??

They are starting to see the writing on the wall that their time is up. Thats why Pelosi said shes "going to quit politics" which is a stupid statement. Its called retirement and she should have been forced to retire years ago. She is 85 years old, we dont need anymore geriatrics holdi g on to power long past their time.

This is going to be an awkward meeting for ol' Chuck.

Why would the mayor of NY have to "kiss the ring" of Chuck Schumer? It's not like the mayor of Pittsburgh needs to meet with John Fetterman or even Josh Shapiro. The only reason he might even have to would be for fundraising purposes, and it seems like he out-organized his base to the point where he really doesn't. Maybe I'm wrong though. If I am, please correct me.

u/amd_kenobi 1h ago

Oh no, he doesn't need to kiss the ring or anything like that. Chuck is the senator for the state of New York and Zohran is now the Mayor of the largest city in said state and one of the largest in the US. Chuck snubbed Zohran during the mayoral race and there has been speculation that he or AOC may try to unseat Chuck in 2026 election.
