The background is Blue.

The words are MAGA.

I wonder if there is a term for this.

So if I write a book that says Chuck Schumer has to be my bitch, he has to do it?

It’s in a book after all

You also have to tell him that GOD actually wrote it.

If you convince enough people with you’re book, sure.

Let's start with vote 1

"That thing we wrote says the land is ours, so of course it is. Why don't these filthy savages believe in that thing we wrote?"

Same logic evangelical Christians use to oppress LGBTQ folks here at home, Chuck. But you knew that, which is why you don't care about that either, beyond your performative outrage to get votes.

These crusty old dirt worshipers need to go. Every last one of them.

so... third party this time?!?!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

I wish I could say yes, and maybe between shit like this and Elon threatening Social Security there will be enough angry people to make a third party viable, but I'm not holding my breath on that. This country has been in love with binary choice since the beginning. Everything is black or white, good or evil, win or lose, right or wrong, us or them... You introduce any kind of nuance and people lose their fucking minds.

Nah. Just guns at this point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Start building one. Use the annuals and the biannual elections as proofs of concept. Right now I'm more open to voting 3rd party than ever before but I'm not wasting my vote

[–] [email protected] 37 points 6 days ago

Schumer is really letting the mask slip lately. Time for him to go.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Look at what he stands for.

Look at what he caves on.

Genocide is centrism's only actual policy.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

Even if you take what he says at face value, his conclusion still doesn't even follow logically.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 days ago

There's a mid term for this

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

But my book says it's our land. So we should put our book and their book in a ring to fight it out. The winner takes the land. This is the only logical solution to this problem.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago

The term is "fucking traitor that needs to be censured and primaries". Get this MAGAt wannabe out of office, but first get him out of any democratic positions/appointments.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

Ah yes another but the bronze age man said so moment

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Is Schumer's district mostly Jews? That fucker needs to go. I hope there are sane people in his district with an open mind.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

Jews are very divided on Israel in general and heartbreakingly on whether or not it's cool to genocide. Chuck is in the genocide is cool as long as it's not against Jewish people camp, many of us stand firm on our no genocide no matter what. He's also a senator so represents all living in NY state, so short answer is no.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

It's the whole state... Unfortunately no one ever seriously primaries him

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

Wow, I knew things were bad but I didn’t realize it was this bad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Fuck him. He's factually wrong first of all, but even if he wasn't religious ethnonationalism is always wrong
