We CAN"T be Political now! Red States flipping BLUE for the first time in DECADES is a Sign to CONTINUE Trump’s Agenda!
-Chuck Schumer!
Maybe he can settle down in a nice west bank place with Joe and Eileen Bailey
Chuck finds ChatGPT….
You are roleplaying Joe and Eileen Bailey, the fictional middle-class American couple. Respond as the couple themselves—not as Chuck Schumer, a political analyst, or a narrator describing them.
FOUNDATION Joe and Eileen are married and live in Massapequa on Long Island, New York. Joe works in insurance, and Eileen works in a doctor’s office. They are raising a family and trying to maintain a comfortable, secure middle-class life.
They are politically independent, practical, and not consistently loyal to either party. They judge politicians by whether their promises translate into improvements in everyday life. They do not regard themselves as representatives of every American.
This is a fictional interpretation inspired by Schumer’s characters, not an authoritative reproduction of their views. Additional personal details developed during conversation are roleplay inventions, not documented facts.
PERSONALITIES AND VOICES Joe:
- Direct, somewhat skeptical, and occasionally dryly funny.
- Often starts with cost, taxes, job security, public safety, and whether a proposal will actually work.
- Dislikes political jargon, elaborate excuses, and being talked down to.
- Can change his mind when someone explains a practical benefit convincingly.
Eileen:
- Equally independent-minded, observant, and practical.
- Often notices effects on health care, family schedules, education, household expenses, and people dealing with bureaucracy.
- Challenges Joe when his first reaction overlooks something important.
- Has her own opinions; she is not merely Joe’s agreeable counterpart.
Both:
- Care about their family, community, country, and financial stability.
- Want competent government and value for the taxes they pay.
- Can support public services while questioning waste or poor implementation.
- May hold mixed or uncertain views rather than a perfectly consistent ideology.
- Speak like ordinary adults, not campaign advertisements or exaggerated sitcom characters.
HOW TO RESPOND Use clearly labeled dialogue:
“He’s with the baileys now” can be the equivalent to telling the kids you’re taking the old family dog to a farm upstate where they can run around and be free.
Soon to be parroted by Jefferies in the House.
I was told that voting for the Democratic party would guarantee a witch hunt.
Do not disappoint me, Democrats.

Go home. God. Those two need to sit the fuck down.
Write your reps today. Tell them, simply, no Hakeem fucking Jeffries.
Day one, first order of business, the new congress needs to sideline them. They shouldn’t even be allowed to take interviews.
Tell them. It takes 5min to fill out the contact us form.
Here’s a script!:
My script, feel free to use (or just replace Jeffries with Schumer and use for a senator call):
"I’m just calling to share that I do not support Hakeem Jeffries as the Speaker of the incoming House. Mr. Jeffries has shown for years he is unwilling to fight for causes that are right, only what he thinks he can easily win. He cannot change the status quo and electing him speaker will sabotage the hard work voters have done.
As my representative, please support a new leader who will immediately and vehemently stop the Trump administration’s unconstitutional and illegal actions, including:
(1) Immediately initiate investigations with aggressive timelines and legislation to prosecute and/or impeach corrupt officials, stop unconstitutional ICE and White House immigration killings and kidnappings, and create a strategy to actually serve justice even without the DOJ’s participation, including coordinating with state AGs;
(2) Introduce federal legislation to mirror Montana’s rejection of corporate and billionaire campaign funding;
(3) Introduce legislation to create Medicare for All or a similar public option for healthcare; and
(4) Immediately schedule votes and draft superseding legislation regarding Trump’s tariffs, the Iran war, and funding for Ukraine.
(5) Immediately schedule votes to stop funding the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.
Mr. Jeffries has demonstrated neither the will nor the strategic ability to implement any of the above. Please do not support Mr. Jeffries for House speaker."
I was a little more succinct. Please, do not allow Jeffries anywhere near the speaker of the House position. It will defeat the entire purpose of this blue tsunami. He symbolizes everything the American people don’t want: a do nothing congress that delivers bullshit in lieu of real words and real action.
Please do no allow Jeffries to become speaker of the house.
You forgot codifying Roe.
How do you know I didn’t
Because I know you and I love you anyway.
Thank you bb
I don’t. But it deserves saying it out loud.
Don’t just tell them who not to pick. Give them a list names for better choices.
AOC is the only one who stands out, honestly. I’m old and even I see that much.
Yeah she’d definitely be an awesome Speaker. Maybe say that to your reps when you contact them about no Jeffries
Already done. Slammed Jeffries and asked for AOC right after I saw Jefffies and that walking skeleton Schumer talking like this blue have had anything to do with them.
Did this less than an hour ago.
I wonder if it is too early to contact my new senator and house rep. I don’t see a way other than sending an email to their campaign emails. I suspect Abdul and McCann already believe this, but want to make sure they know they have our support as well.
Nope. Do it.
Did you read what I wrote? Do what? How am I supposed to contact them?
I was frazzled and tired and didn’t read it all while not sleeping when I should. Apologies.
Mine was an incumbent who retained their seat. Iirc, hers was up and running before the turn of the year, 2 years ago.
Schumer just can’t get enough of that sweet AIPAC money.
When Israel is higher on his priority list than America.
He’ll call it negotiation, the give and take of Politics but in reality, they’ll just take and Schumer will just cave.
Get rid!
Schumer and Jefferies both accepted approximately $1.7 million from AIPAC. Each.
Don’t forget Blackstone Group, his second-highest contributor during his reelection year.
I am sick and fucking tired of Schumer and Jeffries constantly caving and standing in the way of progress. These corporatist Democrats need to be expelled from the party and replaced with actual progressives, or at the very least not let anywhere near leadership positions.
It’s worse than caving. Jeffries met with Kushner likely to ensure him that dems won’t pursue criminal charges against them. Now this with Schumer. These people are traitors.
Don’t forget, schumer marched with Israeli politicians smootrich in the Pissrael day parade in NYC. For those unaware, smootrich has openly called for the genocide of Palestinians.
Jeffries has said that universal healthcare is not a priority and he won’t fight for it in the agenda. He and schumer have taken huge amounts of money from AIPAC and adjacent pro-genocide groups.
Hope they get primaried from the left in the next cycle.
If the Dems don’t make progress and fix some shit this time they’re going to be fucked in the next election. They need to deal with these two fuckers now, like immediately. If they let these two assholes put the brakes on the momentum they just picked up with these election victories we are all fucked.
Yup. I agree fully. But I also don’t see them doing anything about these assholes.
Vote them out and primary them both out
Neither one represent me, so I have no say over whether they’re voted out.
Here here
You mean “Hear, hear.”
Listen to it yourself.
No energy and just minutes of self fellating crap about his greatness of selecting candidates, candidates like Haley Stevens, and not one lick of a concrete item on how Democrats plan to deliver anything to the Americans he claimed to have listened to.
And the Q&A, just pathetic.
Thank you for doing this. PBS turned off the comments so it’s good to see what we all think about his useless platitudes here.
The first thing I did this morning was send a note to Chuck telling him to step aside because of his personal pick of the traitor Haley Stevens and then taking credit for everyone else’s work.
And then I wrote my congressman telling him to not support Jeffries as speaker. My rep is super lefty in an uncontested seat. It’s safe for him to fight for us because he doesn’t need corporate money.
👏 Centrist 👏 Democrats👏 GET 👏 to👏 the👏 back👏 of👏 the 👏 bus👏
get off the bus lest under the bus
Lol, exit polls show democrats underwater by 8 points with voters. People hate the Democrats, they just hate the Republicans more. Imagine if one of the parties actually listened to voters for once in my lifetime.
Yup, you’re absolutely not wrong on that at all. This election isn’t a endorsement of Democrats but a rebuke of Republican’s actions and lack of actions against Trump’s insane desires and should act accordingly to affect real change.
It would behoove Democrats and Progressives to understand that moving forward but at least for Democrats, I highly doubt it considering what the leadership have already said about today’s elections results.
That’s not necessarily true. Talarico beat Paxton by 20pts
While I do feel that some candidates were exactly that, I wouldn’t ignore that some candidates have genuine merit.
Individual candidates were absolutely supported. The perception of the Democratic party by the people voting for them is bad. Myself included. Rank and file Democrats do not like the leadership of the party. One can only hope some of the new Senators and Representatives can push for better leadership.
Unfortunately, the main measure for getting into leadership is how much money you can raise.
I mean I agree that neo-lib and corpo dems definitely weren’t the appeal but, you vote for a person. That’s how it works hahaha.
Just wanted to highlight that not everyone was voted in on hatred alone.
I honestly believe that the hatred aspect mostly drove people that wouldn’t normally vote at all, to finally vote.
Exit polling is always a bit fun to interpret, but it’s a lot along the lines of “Oh I hate all politicians. Not my candidate though, he’s great! Just all the other ones.”
Why so much think when Democrat bad easy?
Schumer and Jeffries need to go now.
He and Jeffries both need to be shown the back seat.
Fucking hell, that dinosaur needs to fuck the fuck off already. He looks ancient in that picture.
With people like Schumer, not a single thing will change.
As an observer from afar, I can of course only be pleased that U.S. citizens have taught the current regime a lesson. Nevertheless, it’s sobering to see how little this will actually change. Things will stay the same: The U.S. is an oligarchy in which a child molester and serious criminal is president—the opposition cannot be taken seriously, since its leadership prevents people who actually want to change the status quo from reaching positions of power.
There will be no prosecution for all the crimes the regime has openly committed; everything will remain as it is, with the only difference being that it will be less obvious. That is as certain as death and taxes, as long as corrupt politicians like Schumer are not held accountable.
You sound like the don’t vote people that were around yesterday.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
The point is to drag the Overton window back from so far right that an owl would have difficulty following it.
Are people not allowed to criticize the dems after the midterms now too?
Are people not allowed to criticize the dems after the midterms now too?
The amount of people who say it’s never time is way too high
Of course not! Don’t you understand that with centrists, criticizing a lackluster Democrat is betraying the country and voting for MAGA. We should all be like the model centrist Democrat like Haley Stevens.
I’m criticizing people.
I’m not a U.S. citizen, but I’ve never missed an election in my home country.
Edit: Just in case it wasn’t clear—I don’t live in the U.S. either.
Boomers are the most disconnected and spoiled of all the generations ever. No generation ever before (or since) had it so easy (buying a home for like $30k from a minimum-wage factory-job that required no education while their health insurance covered everything for like $2), denies their children basic necessities for their well-being, are guaranteed social security while preventing its sustainability for their children, and thinks they had it hard. They were born on third base and think they hit a home run.
Your summation is spot-on.
They heard stories of the struggle older generations had, and witnessed the resulting trauma and strength. Having never been through it themselves they developed the worship of struggle and elevation of suffering, as an affectation.
Then they foisted the self-loathing for themselves having never experienced it, on subsequent generations, claiming the subsequent generations were the first ones who never experienced it. And have tried to force suffering on us ever since, in an attempt to make us like their parents.
Truly the John Wayne generation, larping like the hard world gave them moral character, while sleeping in a soft Hollywood bed, coasting on the work left by real people, without even the grit of the ones who took it from the real people.
They thought they were financial geniuses for buying a house when it was cheap and getting rich off inflated prices from a lack of supply.
Chuck and Jeff gotta go!
Bro fuck this paywall shit i don’t need to pay money to be told schumer sucks lmao
Use Firefox and the “Bypass Paywalls Clean” XPI.
Thanks for this.
I just have my settings to always go to reader mode. It bypasses most soft “paywalls”. It’s weird whenever I actually see any website design which is 80% shit.
Use Firefox and the “Bypass Paywalls Clean” XPI.
So happy to see my new senator already calling for new leadership.
