Chuck Schumer indeed sucks, but it concerns me that nobody is asking why Peter Thiel's mouthpiece is the Dem leading calls for him to step down. (sh.itjust.works)

Because there's basically two possibilities here, both bad:

  1. He had nothing to do with it, which means he has no control over what his own caucus is doing. That's a failure of leadership, so he needs to go.
  2. He was involved behind the scenes, but was too chickenshit to put his vote on record. Not only is that a betrayal of everyone who is about to get fucked by their medical premiums, it's also abject cowardice, so he still needs to go.

Of course, he reportedly was actually involved behind the scenes.

I lean towards the third possibility that matches the timeline: Schumer is responsible because he voted to stay open this past spring and was also the one who initiated capitulating to the Republicans on Friday after the Dems steamrolled the elections which undermined party unity for healthcare demands.

Since Schumer is the top Dem in the Senate he shares blame for these 8 just following through on what he started.
