Oh don't you worry, Chuck Schumer is warming up his finger wag as we speak

[-] keylime314@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

And there it is, a right wing plant blaming Democrats for Republican actions to depress the left wing vote.

If you disagree with this characterization of your post, please explain how schumer has anything to do with the Republican executive order that has just been upheld by the Republican supreme court. Also, explain what schumer could do as a minority senator beyond finger wagging to stop the Republican controlled supreme court from allowing the Republican executive branch from doing this.

I'd say the right wing plant is the one trying to convince us that the Democratic leadership aiding the Republican agenda at every turn is somehow a good thing.

In that case, the right wing plant is you.

Bold of you to assume right wingers are the only ones who dislike Schumer

Plant, or useful idiot?

You're the one attacking schumer, who made no action in this situation. Why do that instead of attacking the right wingers who are 100% responsible for this unless you want to defend the right wing?l

You are the one who attacked someone who is in no way responsible for this. If you are truly left wing, then focus on stopping the right, not making sure the right wins.

schumer, who made no action in this situation.

That's precisely the problem.

someone who is in no way responsible for this.

So someone who voluntarily ran to be elected as a representative of the people in the party that is supposed to oppose Republicans isn't doing a god damned thing to stop blatant voter disenfranchisement, yet you claim he "isn't responsible for this?" What exactly is he responsible for if it isn't "opposing republicans" and isn't "representing the people?"
