    A single democrat? It’s the whole fucking party! He’s their leader and he’s telling us what the party exists to do.

      Yup and everything that’s going wrong with the world his Schumers fault because of it.

      Find out next week which democrat Lemmy is going to pin everything on instead of banding together to defeat the actual problem!

        It’s just His Turn to be in charge, he’s not special. If a different Democrat was the leader they’d behave the exact same way.

        The machine operates the same no matter who pulls it’s levers. He just said the quiet part out loud.

          As a complete aside (not referring to Democrats etc) I’m pretty sure pulling levers affects how a machine operates.

            Okay, but if I pull a lever it will do the same thing as if Chuck Shuemer pulled the lever.

            To be clear, I guess this saying applies more to production machinery rather than more complex machines like cranes with a ton of different levers. The lever on a welding press does one thing and you can’t make it do something else by pulling the lever. A crane can do a ton of stuff because it has lots of levers that do different things - you can even break the machine just by pulling the levers wrong.

            So, maybe the saying isn’t as pithy as I thought.

              On reading your original comment I realised you are right. It doesn’t matter who pulls the lever.
              I’m just being a bit oversensitive about dangerous operation of machinery.

        Please, for you own sake, get a reading tutor. You seem to be having a lot of trouble with reading.

          They’re saying Schumer is making the decisions for everyone, and if Schumer just changed his vote and made better decisions everything would have been better for the whole party. Is that not correct?

              And her backing is because that’s what Schumer said!

              To quote, since it was literally the first sentence of the rebuttle:

              Didn’t you hear Schumer
