Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

Damn right, Bernie. We’re sick of billionaires running the government like a clearance sale for the rich, gutting Social Security, slashing veterans’ care, and shredding Medicaid for $4.5T in tax cuts. And Schumer? Hands them the knife. SICK and TIRED of these weak leaders.

Dems are so great at Comms, right? They'll out Comm Trump on why there's a shutdown? S/D is a lifeline to Trump & Musk who public is turning against. Why give them an anti Dem reason to change opinion?! Dem base demanding performance not substance. Better T/M/V destroy govt in daylight w/o excuses.

No one asked but, Maybe we progressives were willing to take the blame in order to stop this insanity. I have social security in my household and military retirement pay plus we use the VA. I have just as much skin in the game as anyone can, but I'd starve not to let them get this win.

Unfortunately there are A LOT of states and areas where they make voting really hard and there's many voters too poor to take time to vote or they don't follow things. But I do agree with you to a point. It's a deal breaker for me to be friends with folks that don't follow politics, that's just me

Letting them shut down gives trump exactly what he wants - no federal civil servants. He’s already trying to do that through firing everyone. If dems don’t support a bill to keep it going, everything shuts down, trump gets what he wants and can blame the dems.

Fuck all the way off Schumer!!!! You just taught MAGA how to own you EACH & EVERY FUCKN TIME!! YOU & POS Dems taught MAGA that YOU will vote for fuckn ANYthing to avoid a REPUBLICAN TRUMP SHUTDOWN. You dumb motherfucker! Rand Paul is voting NO but you feckless idiot Dems are voting YES???? 🤬🤬🤬🤬

That's why Sanders is going to different states. Republicans and Democrats and Independents are mad. The Republicans aren't going to town hall meetings to hear the people who voted for them. We'll they can be voted out next term. They forget they work for the people.

Current democratic leadership so far has cost us EVERYTHING !! It’s time to hand the reins over to someone else , how much worse could it get ? We are already on the cusp of losing democracy ! I know you think you know best , but LOOK AROUND , YOU CLEARLY DON’T!!

Is Bernie going to run again?. 2028? Chuck obviously is just cushy cozy in his spot. His coffers are padded and his n pockets must be full. He wants to hand Trump a victory to continue to grift from agencies? No @senchuckschumer. Just NO

I left 20 years ago. I'm unaffiliated. I vote for them as that is the best chance I have in seeing the country move in the direction I would like to see for all of us. I wish they had real leadership that took our situation seriously.

The gap between Bernie’s commentary and statements from establishment Dems would be shocking if it weren’t so predictable. Dems need to stop suckling their “donor class” and stand up for average working Americans. What part of that is too hard to understand?!

BERNIE I send you LOVE and Respect. You remind me so much of my Dad and myself. No bullshit. The Time Has Come 2 Show People NOBODY IS NOBODY. SLAVA UKRAINI ❤️‍🔥 GEROYAM SLAVA Never Give Up No Fourth Reich In America

Mr. Sanders is on the money, but can we take a moment to agree that while shutting down the government would be horrible, the government, as Mr. Trump is wielding it, is pretty darn bad now, and on course to be a whole lot worse, so why would we want to send the message that we will capitulate?

Reps have the majority in the House. Reps have the majority in the Senate. Reps have the power in the White House. Reps have the majority in the SCOTUS. Reps boasted about their so called mandate. Reps didn´t negotiate with Dems. But somehow it´s Dems fault if gov. shuts down.

It's a shame he doesn't believe deporting a green card holder is "gonna be terrible". Mealy mouthed Zionist shill. He was the hope in a den of thieves. Now he's no better than the Republicans he scolds.

Once again Bernie is one of the only ones fighting for the people. It’s just sad. We need more people with principals and the balls to stand up for what’s right and fucking FiGHT

I’ve days it before and I’ll say it again: Gov’t shutdowns hurt families. Shutting this Gov’t down saves lives. It’s an easy choice to me, and it should be to every Dem; vote no. They cannot be allowed this win, because it doesn’t end here

Go Bernie, but for the rest of the DEMOCRATS!!!! Go hard!!! Play hard!! FIGHT HARD!!! Start playing offense and quit playing defense! Get out there ahead of the ball!! Control the game!!! Our country is depending on you!!! #democrats

Schumer wrongly said the judiciary could be shut down. He said that would be bad because people have been winning there. The judiciary is a separate branch of government. Trump can’t shut it down. Judges will work from home & without staff if they have to. Schumer is afraid of the fight. Pathetic.

Umm I agree that Senator Schumer is making the wrong move, but that meme feels anti-semitic. His nose appears to have been altered to look longer! Additionally adding negative comments highlighting the Jewishness is not helpful in the context of current world events, despite the cute rhyme.

Most peculiar comments. The first negative out of hundreds. That exact photo is all over social media. It's not been altered. Schmuck is a popular, light-hearted Yiddish word, commonly used by Jewish people like myself.

My god, the only people thinking the words you just said are legitimate anti-Semites who’ll see it in any Jewish person and people who are attempting to be so politically correct they go full horseshoe theory and end up analyzing anything the same way the other side does.

Bernie speaks simple truth. Get rid of the loafer wearing Democrats. If Canada can brace for Trumps attacks, we sure as hell can. Simplify your home dinners. Support your local reasturants by doing so wisely. Hurt the billionaires, cut down on Amazon!!!!!.

When everything feels lost, sometimes your only option is to go all in. Up until now, the Republicans have turned their backs on us, and this is our final stand. If we lose this battle, we risk losing it all for the next four years. We must hold the Senate accountable—our future hangs in the balance
