Why?
- "Schumer inspires no one." I don't know, every time he goes to the well of the Senate with that nasal voice and those Mr Whipple glasses, the Militant Normals are inspired to squeeze all the Charmin, or, better yet, to mock him on social media.
- "He doesn’t get modern communication." Social media followers don't necessarily translate into influence: for all the followers Crazy Bernie or Squeaky or Fauxahontas have, they're still in the opposition, and still giving the Militant Normals material.
- "He’s an old-looking, old-talking, and old-thinking 74, staring down, with faltering energy." As opposed to the gesticulating Crazy Bernie or the faux-hood Jasmine Crockett?
- "He’s turned his back on the future." In Common Dreams world, the "future" is the Next Big Thing for the communist wing of that party. Which continues in its delusion that somehow the Donks lost the presidency and the Senate by not being communist enough.
- "Schumer is isolated from critical feedback." In Common Dreams world, that has nothing to do with the shilling for All Things Democrat that make the palace guard media so annoying.
- "Schumer lacks the strategic and tactical skills to meet the unprecedented challenges of the moment." It's probably hard to herd corporatist and communist cats, and it's unprecedented for the past forty days that the slim Republican majority didn't fracture despite all the scolding from the usual suspects. The minority leader in the House wasn't able to peel off sufficient Republican votes to stop the latest budget resolution, which includes a few regular order appropriations, from passing and being signed.
- "Schumer is also fundamentally compromised on critical issues."
What's amusing is that three years ago, while the Jarrett regency still enjoyed majorities in both houses of Congress, Mr Whipple was already playing his dilatory games. "The youngest gerontocrat, New York senator Chuck Schumer, who has been putting the country through hell, the better to stave off a primary challenge from the communist wing of his party, recently joined the brain-fart brigade in a recent speech where neither he nor his wordsmith recalled who Thurgood Marshall was."
In these continuing spats between the communist and corporatist Democrats, who differ on how punitive the taxation of productive people or how meddlesome the administrative state should be, there is a real opportunity for Trumpian populists to win over skeptical voters, perhaps by working on simplifying citizenship for legal residents, introducing trade-tested betterments and price discovery in medicine, and continuing to thin out the Federal Register.
