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.

Ro Khanna Says Schumer Must Resign in Wake of Budget Deal

This is who Ro Kahnna really is, and always has been:

March 2023: Rep. Ro Khanna defends fundraiser at David Sacks’s home after supporting Silicon Valley Bank bailout

October 2025: Rep. Ro Khanna’s Financial Disclosures Show Investments in Palantir the Tech Company Building Immigration Tool

    Probably because we were already saying it before Ro Khanna so it just seems like he is agreeing with us.

      Right, so why did nobody pay attention when you said it before?

      Do you think Peter Thiel is trying to remove the guy who is leading the Senate Dems, while Dems are currently holding ongoing investigations of Thiel, JP Morgan, and crypto, because he cares about progressive values?

      Sept 10: Dem Orders Congressional Probe Into Epstein and Peter Thiel’s Relationship

      Sept 10: Schumer moves to force Senate vote on Epstein files

      Sept 10: US Senate Republicans narrowly reject Schumer bid to force vote on Epstein files

      I’m all for replacing Schumer the right way. I’m not ok with Peter Thiel using the media to manipulate the public, and make us cheer while he installs his own Senate leader.

        There were calls for him to step down this past spring that got news articles: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/23/chuck-schumer-rejects-calls-to-step-down-as-senate-democratic-leader.html

        Has Schumer stepped down? Is anyone listening to Ro Khanna any more than they listed to everyone else?

        I’m sure Thiel has terrible reasons for the removal that are different than everyone else’s reasons. It isn’t like he is tricking people into wanting the thing they already wanted.

          Not sure if you noticed, but Ro Kahnna’s slimey ass has been all over main stream media since Sunday night calling for Schumer’s removal, and being labeled as a fucking progressive.

          I just want to know why nobody is asking why the fuck the “progressive” who has been owned by Peter Thiel for his entire career, is the one currently leading the call. If you can’t at least acknowledge that’s shady as fuck, you’re literally just sticking your head in the sand.

          The fact that this guy even has a seat in congress can be explained by the fact that his constituents are silicon valley billionaires. The fact that the media calls him a progressive can be explained by the fact that the media is paid by silicon valley billionaires.

          I’m not sure what could possibly explain why anyone who is not a silicon valley billionaire or getting paid by silicon valley billionaires, would be defending and supporting this guy.

            Is anyone defending and supporting this guy?

            The media saying anything positive about him is likely due to being for profit media.

            Seems like he is a useful mouthpiece for Thiel and the people who already wanted Schumer gone. Kind of like how MTG is a useful mouthpiece for reminding everyone about the Epstein files despite her being a terrible person.

              Funny thing about MTG and her part in the “progressive” power throuple (Kahnna, MTG, and Massie) the media is trying to manufacture:

              Taylor Greene has drawn criticism after she purchased stock in Peter Thiel-owned Palantir in April, three days before the company won an ICE contract.
