And he came out against Zohran, too. Useless old bag. UPDATE - this was based on a list of Dems that weren't supporting* him that I saw on Lemmy elsewhere. Looks like Schumer has since congratulated him but still not endorsed him. I don't live online and have a job so excuse me for not updating immediately.
I'm not finding that in the news anywhere.

thank you for the correction
More semantics really.
Thats because he did it sly. He never endorsed him, what you are seeing is PR for the aftermath. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/chuck-schumer-hails-impressive-campaign-from-zohran-mamdani-but-doesnt-endorse-or-congratulate-him/
The claim was he came out against Mamdani, though, where is the evidence of that?
Also, the second article I presented don't like Mamdani so the only way it makes sense for PR is if they're quietly promoting Republicans.
So you're happy with this lack of endorsement?
No, but I won't participate in divisive tribalistic bullshit which weakens the left.
Schumer is not on the left
If you think he's on the right then you haven't seen what the right is in the USA.
And I'm not going to go out of my way to say people who are actively hurting the US are somehow good, regardless of their ~~tribe~~ party.
Instead you blame people for not doing things completely outside of their power, and you want others to blame them too so that they never have any power to fix this situation.
Corey booker held a 24 chat session instead of holding up actual legislation. Filibustering works, Dems just dont want to.
This bill is going through what is called "Reconciliation." Because it's a budget bill and the DNC have filibustered it, the GOP are using a simple majority to pass it back to the house to be voted on a second time after which the president can sign it into law.
Other examples of this in the past: The DNC almost used Reconciliation in 2010 to pass the ACA, but before that could happen they got independent Joe Leiberman to agree to concessions and pass it with a supermajority instead. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 used Reconciliation. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 used Reconciliation.
so you hate waffles?
My reply was in reference to their own reply here: https://infosec.pub/comment/16780580
I was not being serious.
well exactly what he is doing here, superficially looking like he is doing something where as doing nothing when and where it matters
“vote blue no matter who” my ass
edit: also im seeing there’s some nuance and the person im replying too might not have been perfectly honest or trustworthy
This makes no sense. The vote was blue vs blue, and the guy defending him and people who aren't sure about him are blue.
You can't vote or be for against anything but blue in the primary for a democrat.
Unless of course you are just saying no one should have voted for the candidate that you seem to want in?
pretty sure this is about the general election, after the primary, thus it’s blue against red (or blue against blue against red since apparently cuomo is deciding not to take the hint)
im also maybe seeing that schumer was saying some stuff positive about mamdami but just didn’t endorse him?
i don’t have the time to figure out all that nuance before i send this reply so for now i’ll leave it as a question mark and encourage investigation into trusted sources
the red (sliwa) candidate aint winning lmfao. Its practically blue (Mamdani) vs blue (Cuomo) vs blue-defected-to-red (adams)
There is no way a corporate dem will endorse mandani, their favorite pawn (cuomo) is still in the race as the runner up.

I agree that Silwa wouldn't normally win, but if you have centrists voting for Cuomo and Adams, some centrists and left of that voting for Mamdani, the 300,000+ voters out of a million that voted for Silwa last election may come closer than one would expect.
Hopefully it'll be 40% Mamdani, 20, 20, 20. But if it appears close I can see Cuomo or Adams "endorsing the other and dropping hoping to get a chance
sliwa is polling at 7% in the latest poll
Even if we assume he get doubled that like 15%
The remainder split 3 way evenly is about 28%
sliwa would have to win like 26% then have the 3 split evenly 24.6 + 24.6 + 24.6
Extremely rare for that to even be possible.
My bets are 60% chance Mamdani wins, 35% cuomo win, 4% adams win, 1% sliwa win.
I hope your right. Now we need 350 more of those mayors, 230ish new congress members, and 53 new senators and we can start to have a start
Yeah, I haven't looked at much but it looks like Schumer supported the winning candidate because he won and is now going to need support to beat the Republican candidate when that time comes. So yes, in theory Schumer is going to say to vote for the Democrats, but would you rather him support Adams or Cuomo who are going to run as independents now, likely to ensure the votes are split for Democrats, or Silwa the Republican? I don't know much about Silwa. He's a 71 year old who focuses all his efforts towards crime it seems. Which being a Republican who is staunchly anti crime just means to me he will be trying to persecute the population for existing in any manner he doesn't like.
his name is Eustace Bagge. Eustace! Not Useless!
