Then maybe take the moment to ask for everything. If you are going to lose, make sure people know why. Government shutdown would be terrible, but since we are already at "terrible" seems like shutdown would at least be different terrible.

Has he not realised that bipartisanism is dead. You are not dealing with a Mitt Romney republican party, this is a MAGA idiot party. Democrats need to fight not play patter cakes with them. Schumer and Jefferies need to go and to replaced with true fighters.

I wish people on the left would use their brains. The only way a bill can be passed is if it is bipartisan. Schumer is using that to force concessions from the Rethugs. Dems don't have the votes to pass their own bill so yeah Schumer's doing the right thing.

This is ludicrous. He needs to step down! He has learned nothing and refuses to do his job! There is no negotiating! We need strong and fearless opposition. He is just another corporatist on the wrong side of the class war and another zionist in the battle for humanity...

They have been trying this since day 1 and it has gotten them no where. What makes him think it will work this time? GOP does not like to negotiate. They prefer to do it themselves no help. Just like trump who actually gives them their orders.

Schumer, you are not a leader. Stop fricking groveling and fight back. Do something, anything that shows you support America over Isreal, you know that country that is committing genocide like the Nazis did.

Stop. Just stop with the bi-partisan BS. Be. More. Demanding!!!!!!!!! No national guard. Back off 1st amendment crap the right is pushing and lots more. Leave the immigrants alone. Release the Epstein files. Stop playing nice!

As Churchill screamed at his capitulating War Cabinet while Nazi forces were sweeping across France and the Netherlands, “You cannot negotiate with a tiger when your head is in its MOUTH!!” Chuck: If you’re not going to fight for the Republic, just quit. Now.

If Dems actually receive this morsel of policy benefit in consideration for total acquiescence in the ongoing authoritarian coup of entire apparatus of government, they’ll let GOP to take full credit for it. The response will be silence. 34% approval explained. Quisling capitulation. Disgusting.

This is how he feels, it's off the cuff Chuck, look at how high his glasses are. When he reads they are on the tip of his nose. The system is in his bones, but the Republicans are not abiding by the Constitution, so Chuck is prepping for a game that happened 20 years ago. Time to go, past time even.

"If our Republican collogues won't meet us in the middle and enact a bipartisan solution...then we'll just have vote for their Budget and approve their appointees until they get the message! We will win! We will win!"

Well, i hope they realize this might be the last chance for stopping the fascist takeover. There are very few steps between military on the streets and concentration camps. Be strong sane americans.

The Dems NEVER use the little leverage they have when they have it while Republicans always get the best end of any negotiations and the citizens who didn't vote for fascism deserve better. Shut it all down. No one wants their tax dollars lining the pockets of Epstein's clients while the US fails.

Watching this pathetic fool makes my blood boil. He's playing us right to our faces. Democrats with a spine need to turn on him, Jeffries, and anyone else who refuses to fight back. Get them the hell out of office!!

Is that what the Baileys would want? Bipartisan negotiation? You should probably talk to them again. I think they're waiting for you to get absolutely fuck-all done besides changing the name of the bill or something equally frivolous and then to hunch over and take it up the ass as a victory.

Sitting down and negotiating "bipartisanally" with fascists is the kind of opposition leadership you get from someone like Chuck Schumer who is funded by AIPAC to enable fascism abroad. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Schumer: "We need to have a bipartisan bill ... we are asking them to sit down with us and negotiate."

Whoa, when he see this you will get a VERY strongly worded letter, in the mail, in a few days. It will be on HEAVY paper with a wet signature and no regards or thanks yous. Ice in his veins when he hits the mail box. You ready for that? It gives me the chills so I stay inline! 😆

99% agree with you there's not much they can do, but even then they're not doing the 1% they need to At this point its all about optics, trying to win people over before the midterms, and they're doing a very shit job of that They need to be unified in how they call out fascism, this aint it

Yes but a shutdown is not and cannot be the end goal. It’s leverage to reverse some of the moves of the present government-hence the need for a bipartisan deal, as the Dems lack votes to do anything by themselves.
