You’re making the assumption that he’s not doing EXACTLY what his role is meant to be right now. He’s doing it perfectly.
The disagreement here is on what his role says it is on paper and what his actual role is in this illusion of a Democracy people keep screaming about. These people aren’t lazy. They aren’t dumb. They are doing exactly what the people they represent want them to do.
We live in a representative Republic but the people being represented are a small small minority of the population. The people that politicians represent are the people that give them money. How long we gotta pretend?
How long we gotta ask questions like “why aren’t they doing X when all the lies I believe about our government tell me they should do X”.
Until they fear the population MORE than they fear the 1% nothing will change. And they sure as hell don’t fear losing voters in the Democratic party. They LOVE not having any power and just collecting donations to sit on their asses. The Democrats are really happy in their position right now. Why would they make an effort to go against their donors wishes when their donors just want them to sit on their ass and occasionally do some performative filibuster record or government shutdown record that inevitably has no impact on policy.
The Democrats of the past decade are the Washington Generals to the Republicans’ Globetrotters. They only exist to give the illusion of opposition. They get dunked on and then collect their paychecks.

Hello fellow MikeFromPA fan. At least that’s where I’ve heard this analogy a lot.

Chuck Schumer does not represent his constituents, he represents his campaign contributors.
