    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.
