    In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.

    Uh…

    That first link definitely says that, but it doesn’t actually back it up with anything…

    The second link is a politician accusing Schumer of being ineffective, which is 100% true…

    The third is fucking Faux News and just says Schumer was “informed”…

    Like, not only do none of those three links back up what you’re saying, if anything they paint the picture that Schumer is ineffective and couldn’t have done anything if he wanted. Which is the most likely explanation.

        I’m not disagreeing with that…

        But that doesn’t mean he’s some fucking masteind that set this up.

        He’s too incompetent to do really anything, and the 10 that voted with republicans didn’t need anyone to convince them. Because they’re as big, or bigger, pieces of shit than Schumer.

        Like, one of them is an ex DNC chair during some of the DNC’s darkest times where we handed republicans a shit ton of seats to block progressives.

        I know Schumer is the household name and all, but nothing in that comment made logical sense or even accurately represented what the link articles were saying.

        We can’t afford to just blame the easy targets, because that leaves the rel problems.

        Stop falling for fucking scape goats
