Zeitgeisty Aphorisms<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Schumer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Schumer</a> has no secrets that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/easygirl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#easygirl</a> cannot reveal.

TPChuck <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Schumer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Schumer</a> is not a great Leader for the moment we are in. I wish he would step down from that role in favor of a more feisty, timely, & strategic communicator. But he has been a great <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Senator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Senator</a> for NY, & despite his city accent, he is good even for poor deindustrialized rural areas of the state. He knows community people by name & union in frigid & remote places & brings home the bacon so I rather hope he keeps at the job.

Bruce MirkenAnd <a href="https://mastodon.social/@indivisibleteam" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@indivisibleteam</a> is done with <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ChuckSchumer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChuckSchumer</a>. From their latest email: "This was a massive betrayal of the Democratic party, of Indivisibles and activists organizing against this bill, and of our <a href="https://mas.to/tags/democracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democracy</a>. Because of Schumer’s failure, the bill included zero safeguards against <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a>’s illegal and unconstitutional behavior. By refusing to hold the line, Senator <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Schumer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Schumer</a> went against the vast majority of his party to fully capitulate to <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>."

But, the other politicians use them as scapegoats to escape their own accountability.The minority leader here didn't single-handedly give the Republicans a win. He doesn't have that authority or that power. Instead, blame the rest of the Democratic senators who voted for the Republican position.Don't let them get away with it by just focusing on the minority leader. <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a>

Zii0Appeasement Is Failing: Why Fighting Back Against Trump Is The Only Option - Written by Jessica Washington for The InterceptFollowing Chuck Schumer total capitulation to Trump over the budget, playing nice is not an option (probably never was against Trump at least). Everything you can think of to appease the beast will only feed it a bit more, and it will want even more from you.<blockquote>“Conceding to the authoritarian agenda won’t save us. The more we willingly give bullies, the more they forcibly take,” said Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., in a statement to The Intercept.</blockquote><a href="https://theintercept.com/2025/03/15/appeasing-trump-doesnt-work/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theintercept.com/2025/03/15/appeasing-trump-doesnt-work/</a><a href="https://corneill.es/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://corneill.es/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://corneill.es/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://corneill.es/tags/democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#democrats</a> <a href="https://corneill.es/tags/Schumer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Schumer</a> <a href="https://corneill.es/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>
