He is old. Do you think he should retire right now because of his age? Few, if any DU members ever allow for any criticism over Bernie's age.

This is great. I love Chris Murphy more and more these days. I hope he and the others succeed Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #2

Nice way to put it, gab13by13 Nov 2025 #4

Good in two ways Jilly_in_VA Nov 2025 #3

I have ALWAYS voted for him. I'll vote for a primary challenger next time Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #5

He will back out if AOC challenges him. gab13by13 Nov 2025 #6

I don't think so. I don't think he believes that. I do, but I don't think he does. Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #7

He'll be 78 in two years SocialDemocrat61 Nov 2025 #9

How do you feel about Bernie Sanders? murielm99 Nov 2025 #15

I don't recall Sanders say that Biden was too old and should step down SocialDemocrat61 Nov 2025 #16

I asked how YOU felt about Bernie. murielm99 Nov 2025 #17

Age is a number SocialDemocrat61 Nov 2025 #19

Okay. murielm99 Nov 2025 #20

Why SMDH? SocialDemocrat61 Nov 2025 #21

Your post number 9 does not criticize Schumer over his age? murielm99 Nov 2025 #24

No SocialDemocrat61 Nov 2025 #25

Both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are older than Chuck Schumer. lapucelle Nov 2025 #36

Irrelevant SocialDemocrat61 Nov 2025 #40

Where did you read that Schumer wanted Biden to drop out because of his age? Do you have a source? lapucelle Nov 2025 #43

Ok SocialDemocrat61 Nov 2025 #44

That's not a source for your claim. Your claim is that Schumer wanted Biden to step down because of his age. lapucelle Nov 2025 #47

You're obviously looking to pick an argument SocialDemocrat61 Nov 2025 #48

Very improper semantics mr715 Nov 2025 #8

It's the Times. Improper semantics is what they do. Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #11

"It's the Times" mr715 Nov 2025 #12

Well done. Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #13

Schumer is a loser. He thinks it's 1989 and we're up against Bob Dole. F this guy. 617Blue Nov 2025 #10

A Loser? F Him? MineralMan Nov 2025 #22

Mitchell, Reid, Daschle - he's a shell compared to those guys. He's not a war time consigliere. 617Blue Nov 2025 #31

I think you hit the nail . . . Scubamatt Nov 2025 #35

Hope it's the first step toward a big win in 2026, and not a big fizzle and blown chance. Silent Type Nov 2025 #14

We should criticize each other in private, Democrats fighting is never a good thing Walleye Nov 2025 #27

It's a national political party. There is no private. Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #28

Maybe you are right but these kind of divisions in the party always benefit Republicans Walleye Nov 2025 #29

Divisions are hopefully remedied by elections. nt mr715 Nov 2025 #32

I am also hoping right with you. I've seen it fall apart before though Walleye Nov 2025 #34

Sometimes these "stories" are meant to motivate leftstreet Nov 2025 #30

Thank god jaymac Nov 2025 #33

Good. GaYellowDawg Nov 2025 #37

Here are OnTheIssues.org ideology infographics for all 7 senators listed: 5 "liberal" and 2 "establishment". lapucelle Nov 2025 #38

The issue with Schumer isn't ideological imo fujiyamasan Nov 2025 #39

You've missed the point. Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #41

Actually, no I haven't missed the point. I read the NYT's anonymously sourced lapucelle Nov 2025 #45

Well, no. But you have a lovely evening. Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #46

It's important that he understands that this isn't 2005 themaguffin Nov 2025 #42

So! What's the big "challenge"? MorbidButterflyTat Nov 2025 #49
