The democrats have become just as repulsive as their under the table cousins, the republicans. Just as Pelosi needs to be replaced, so especially does Schumer. Small wonder I quit the democrats about eight years ago and become independent.
Schumer has consistently been a tool of the Likudnik lobby and the financial industries. So, there's no surprise in any of this. Of course, every phrase in the article beginning with "It was not XYZ who said..." is a lie, as every one of these worthies either has said things similar to the quotes, or would have, provided there was a shred of honesty to be found in any of them.
Whatever, your logic is a bit flawed, as Shumer is not "democrats". Obviously. At the very least, you should have made a perfunctory effort to demonstrate that Democrats (!) by their overwhelming majority hold opinions similar to Schumer's. The truth is, they don't.
Finally, as has been mentioned before, you should really consider what happened to Republicans once they applied the Taliban / Tea Party purity test, and purged every last independent thinker from their ranks, so much so that by now they are almost as rare as hens' teeth. That's the death of the "party of ideas", and a splendid preparation for autocratic, one-man rule.
So, while I stridently disagree with Schumer, exactly for the opinions expressed, there's a host of reasons to dread a bunch of yes-men, all singing from the same song book, way more than one Schumer expressing eminently disagreeable nonsense on the Middle East or finance.
