When the clear enemy are the people promoting and creating fascism, I see you focused on a person failing to stand up to it. I do agree it is a huge missed opportunity, but it will be a long term struggle and you might be getting distracted here with infighting.
Sure, we can be angry and learn that we can’t trust this person as much as we hoped, but then we move on and keep pushing to our larger goals.
I can think of at least one person in a more prominent position who I feel is more widely despised and made fun of than Schumer.
Are you salivating there?
Actions speak louder than words
Maybe power should be distributed
I feel like that would be different. Video evidence would remove a lot of plausible deniability.
I think they meant that presidents should be forgettable and avoid damaging stuff
So let’s put pressure on our government to do that instead of trying to shoot ourselves in the foot.

I like to think that being called weird isn’t an insult. But it is being taken as an insult when used on people who call others weird as an insult themselves.
He’ll probably blame rigged elections for his loss. In his mind, he wants to avoid the idea he ever made a bad choice.
It seems like it is useful to try to speak to the median voter and (supposed) undecideds who would be affected by this. There are lots of other publications with different perspectives. Is it bad necessarily that this one exists and operates this way?
Then turn it up to 11
To break free from the 2 party system, we need to improve our election systems to allow for it, and to do that we need political advocacy and action. Ranked Choice Voting at least.
Have you heard about the protests and impediments to ICE arrests that have been going on, especially in California? There was also the ambush with fireworks and gunfire by a group on the detention center in Texas. I would say that’s a bit of resistance. Obviously not enough to stop the raids from happening on a wider scale, but the agency may have been slowed by it.
