    He was always a useless shill and so deep in the pockets of fossil fuel interests that he needs a 12 foot snorkel to breathe.

    In other words, an absolute disgrace and COMPLETELY typical of Dem leadership of the past 40+ years

    I have no love for Schumer and would love to see him replaced, but to play devil’s advocate for a sec, isn’t shutting down the government what Trump and his cronies want? Say the government does shut down, what would prevent Republicans just leaving it shut down indefinitely until all the furloughed employees quit (the same people they’ve been trying to fire unsuccessfully)? Or passing bills to selectively fund only the programs they like while leaving the Dept of Education and others unfunded?

      Trump could have simply done that by just not signing the bill and get his shutdown.

      So R2O is just forever barred from covering Democrats’ being enablers of Trump’s bullshit because he (rightfully) said “This will cost them the election against Trump, this doesn’t help them or the public”?

        R2O was banned for, cumulatively, months from multiple top communities for spamming. This includes an unprecedented month-long ban from politics

          Why did he get marked but Mircowave from lemmy.world didn’t? That dude posts dozens articles every day to several communities, R2O never posts that much.

            Microwave contributes diverse content. R2O spammed the same topics for about 6 months
