Isn’t it about time you stepped down from your leadership role in the Senate, having demonstrated little to no leadership during your four years as a Leader? You have quiesced more often than not to the demands that McConnell and his ilk have dropped on your doorstep, knowing full well that, in turn, McConnell and ilk would NOT, NEVER, EVER move an inch for bipartisanship. Yet, you, Senator Schumer, remain the Leader of the Democrats in the Senate, many of whom have remained WAY TOO SILENT regarding anything TRUMP and anything Republican.
Donald Trump’s nominees are without an iota of doubt the most appalling collection of choices any president has made to lead federal government departments. Multiple Trump picks have already withdrawn, and more may soon follow. Yet the response from Senate Democrats — who will have votes and a voice in the confirmation process — has been remarkably muted. Ask a Senate Democrat about the nominees, and you’re more likely to hear “I have some serious concerns” than the far more appropriate “My God, is Trump insane? These are the worst nominees in history!” (MSNBC Daily)
“Clever to demonstrate bipartisan solutions wherever possible and look for ways to collaborate with our Republican colleagues,” you pontificate, as if you are just auditioning for some kind of PR prize, ONLY demonstrating either a sign of unintelligence, lack of awareness, or just spewing BS rhetoric. The Republicans have demonstrated NOTHING but disdain for Joe Biden, for the Democrat Party, and for Democracy!
Worse, they believe that it is politically clever for them to show voters that they seek bipartisanship, even if that desire turns out to be unrequited. “As I have long said, our preference is to secure bipartisan solutions wherever possible and look for ways to collaborate with our Republican colleagues to help working families,” Chuck Schumer, leader of Senate Democrats, said on social media. “However, our Republican colleagues should make no mistake about it, we will always stand up for our values.” (MSNBC Daily)
I am a Democrat, Senator Schumer, and I have not witnessed any hard-fought fight for your so-called values. Isn’t it time you stepped down from the Leadership role and let someone with courage and backbone take over?
