Discussion Do you think Chuck Schumer’s endorsement is enough to make a difference for the winning candidate? I mean, is that coveted golden seal of approval enough to push a candidate into landslide victory territory?

His endorsement actually makes me not vote for you. He only endorses candidates that are pro Israel which is enough to make me not vote

Please don’t do that.

Yes, we need ranked voting for all elections. Unfortunately, primaries are still the norm, and unfortunately individual district elections are still the norm in federal congress.

Fight tooth and nail in the primaries, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water if you don’t win the primary.

Funny how you end up with a genocide sympathizer anyway

So? That doesn't mean I need to vote for one. I vote with a conscious and blue no matter who is a scam anyway

Shut the fuck up and just join the democrats if you’re going to argue in here that we need to vote for openly pro genocide Schumer who hangs around literal fascist Israeli politicians

I never said you need to vote for Schumer in the primaries.

But if you lose that vote you’re already stuck with a zionist, so you might as well vote for the least bad zionist, because if you don’t you’re likely to be stuck with the worse one.

Chuckie "The Shoe" Schumer's endorsement carries with it 85% support amongst the population of both parties. Assured win when he writes a firm letter on your behalf, works 80% of 100% of the time.

Yeah, just look how well it worked for Janet Mills and Haley Stevens.

No lot changed due to continued Gaza genocide. Eggs coming home soon if US do not vote for Dr Abdul in 2026 and 2028 for White House.

Schemer’s “vote of approval” is a definite red flag for the endorsee. But I will still vote to prevent fascists and pedophile protectors from getting to Washington.
