    Schumer is a deer in the headlights at this point. If we’re being generous, he’s useless. If we’re being honest, he’s a fascist enabler. And fascist enablers are fascists with extra steps.

      I’m going to say something controversial to some of us: It’s because Jewish people are the fascists this time around. Israel is a militarized police and tech surveillance state whose leader will be ousted if the war stops so he went on the offensive. Chuck is receiving money from AIPAC and doesn’t want the campaign cash to stop so he’s looking the other way while the fascists take over.

        Trump’s a goy. So’s Vance. A lot of the white nationalist MAGAts would be happy to murder Jews if they got the chance.

        Likud’s influence on both Dems and Republicans is indeed pernicious, but it’s money in politics and the peddling of foreign influence that are the underlying problems, not Jewish people.

        Every Jewish person I know is opposed to aid for Israel, supporting their genocide and very vocally supportive of Gaza/palestine and very critical of Israel-the-country

        It’s not that he’s Jewish. He’s just a prick.

          There’s a super reform synagogue in my town, their president is an out lesbian, they turned out for blm marches, host families traveling to get medical care for their sick kids, etc.

          And they’re generally super pro-Netanyahu, pro-NeoNaqba.

          It’s baffling to me that you can understand that there is rampant racist police violence in the US, and not in Gaza or Jenin.

            I’ll pass it along, but I can tell you they’re going to be a bit confused and say “it’s just the bare minimum,” or “it’s just the right thing to do.”

            (that was their response when I expressed my own gratitude and appreciation.)

            It’s telling how people in the imperial core generally can’t distinguish between judaism and zionism. That’s how deeply ingrained the indoctrination and propaganda goes. The widespread conflation of judaism and zionism is a completely normalized form of anti-semitism.

              And it is intentionally pushed by Israeli PACs.

        There’s no time left for voting them out. We’ve already had our last free and fair election.

        This is Hakeem Jeffries erasure.

        See also: Durbin, Cuellar, Clyburn, Hoyer, the entire Blue Dog Coalition, King, Coons, Klobuchar, Tester, Rosen, Hassan, Peters, to just name a few of the feckless Dems (and one independent Senator who caucuses with Dems but often votes with the fascists) who still value “bipartisanship” over the wellbeing of the people they’re pretending to represent.
