Chicken shit. He just doesn't want to get yelled at, as he should.
Same reason GOP have put a pause on town halls -- they are dismantling the government.
Coward.
Typical Republican. Doesn't have the courage to face down the people he fucks over.
Don't tell me he's not a Republican. It doesn't matter what he claims to be. His purpose is what he does, and he serves the oligarchs.
The lie is that we have a two-party system. We have the same illusion of choice with elected officials as our choice of groceries. Lots of different options, all owned by the same corporate interests.
Yup. Cowards all around. And yes, there’s a club and we’re not in it.
If he cared so much about optics and looking good so that people would be excited to get this book, why not simply make the right fucking vote that everyone screamed at him to make??? If someone's only going to be here for completely self-serving reasons at least have the foresight to do that right.
If your schools were segregated when you were a child you should not be holding public office.
What's the title of his book? How to be a Fucker?
"Wine and Dine without a Spine: Appease Your Way to a Sinecure."
"Art of the Kneel"
I listened to his long form interview this weekend on "The Daily" / NY Times. He's a smug, overconfident POS. He kept saying how great he's done in the past leading the party to gain seats in the Senate, etc. And how he's the one who knows what to do.
First of all, GREAT FUCKING JOB, Chuck. Your leadership has led to the Republicans taking control of all branches of government. Wow, I'm really impressed by your strategy. Secondly, you acknowledge that this time is different, but you want to rely on strategies you've used in the past. Way to think outside the box.
He also was saying some really weird stuff about antisemitism. Like, it's ok to criticize the Israeli government, but if you call someone a Zionist, that's antisemitic. And that Hamas committed atrocities (true), but basically refuses to say that Israel is revisiting those atrocities ten times over on the Palestinians.
He overall sounded completely out of touch, unwilling or unable to adapt to a changing political landscape, and just completely complacent and ineffective.
So, it's beyond time that he needs to go. Just like Pelosi needed to go.
Let's not forget to give credit where due to Biden for waiting so damned long to step aside. There really needs to be an age cap on elected office.

He deserves more credit for appointing an attorney general who sat on his fucking hands for four years. Using the power of the executive branch to prosecute flagrant criminal actions was the only way this mess could have been forestalled.
Lol get fucked Chuck
We don't want to threaten him, we want to tell him to fuck off into retirement. Threats just make politicians go turtle.
Paging the colorful plumbers?
I called and yelled at him today. You should too! Everyone needs to let him know that he’s an entirely feckless quisling fuckstick, and that that’s what he’ll be remembered for - nothing else.
Good. It has worked.
Good. Nothings gonna change until they're more afraid of us than they are of maga
Postponing it won't matter. Unless he announces retirment we'll be there
Good.
If we don't put pressure on our own, we end up with felon rapists for representatives.
Afraid to face the people he's betrayed.
Coward.
How do these people have time to write books when they are supposedly running a superpower?
For what it's worth, almost all of them are ghost written. They tell someone some stories and sometimes what they want the narrative framing/arc to be and then never think about it again. I bet plenty of people have never even read their own books.
Spineless weasel might as well cancel the book, I highly doubt anyone is going to buy it.
The DNC will buy up the unsold copies and distribute them at events.
I don't know about that, think about what Schumer would be willing to do for the donors who laundered their normal bribes to him by picking up a couple dozen copies and getting him up the bestseller lists
Can Tim Waltz host his townhalls for him?
Can Tim Walz also cast all of his votes in the Senate and attend any hearings for him? Also, do all of his official press releases and conferences. Oh, and also walk his dog for him and be a father to Schumer's children for him. That should hopefully bring us down close to a tolerable amount of Chuck Schumer.
He's got my vote... but as someone voting in VT elections I don't know if I can progressive any harder.
He works fast, just started seeing people posting his public appearance schedule.
