Pretty darn close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. NOT in the fight against fascism. Pretty darn close might as well be "was too chickenshit to take a real stand."

Stop with the getting close!!! do it!!

None of these are Senators! The is about who should be the new minority leader in the Senate. 🤦

It's ok. You can just say it. We're all waiting for it.

Just do it - you’ll feel better and so will I. Schumer has got to go!

Breaking: Bless Their Hearts Dems come pretty darn tooting close to saying that this crud of a mess is a flipping shame and they sure as heck were fixin' to do something 'bout it, but daggnabut there's not nuthin' in tarnation to do about this son of a biscuit eater. Shucks.

I’d like to see all this energy used to get POTUS to step down.

Close is not good enough. Schumer and Jeffries are gonna get us all killed.

Chuck Schumer needs to step down! Come on, let’s all just say it out loud! Enough is enough already! We need real leadership, not a man constantly who caves.

Someone needs to do it tho it might be too late for the Dems. We might be past the point of saving what's left of this country.

Yes!!

#wesleyan leading the way

Don't be a Shumer! Fight!

Just another chicken shit democrat, really no different than the Republicans in congress. They’re happy in their ivory towers.

Have the courage! Demand he step down!! The people are tired! I will not give $1 to Dems (unless they’re AOC, Bernie, Crockett, Kelly, etc).

Already did!

While I usually agree with the progrsssives, not threatening to shut down the government was a good thing in many ways right now. In September, we can probably use it, but not right now.

He needs to step down. He has no backbone.

For American democracy to have a fighting chance to exist, voters need to pressure their timid Corporate Profits first senators to replace #CollaboratorChuck Schumer ASAP

Stopping short... once again

No credit for not just saying it. Also, he was trash throughout the rest of this town hall.

We call, we write the GOP reps. They ignore us, their staff are rude to us. They don’t answer our questions. We peacefully protest…47 breaks the law. When will you fight for us

AMEN

Fuck your BS edging. Get him the f out!!!

I think the Senate should focus more on WTF is going on. Why does trump want to shut the gov't down? What would happen if he did? Because it keeps rearing its ugly head. And it doesn't sound like a very good idea.

Someone needs to do it!!! Schumer is clearly not up for the task at hand!

Just like, "I almost changed that tire."

what do you mean “new?”

As a Colorado resident, I believe Senator Bennet’s eyes are on the Minority Leader seat (and beyond). Just saying- it may be about political motivations vs values.

Yes get rid of Schumer let’s get Jasmine Crocket 🤞

NO MORE DONATIONS FROM ME UNTIL THE DEMOCRATS HAVE AN EFFECTIVE STRATEGIC FIGHTER as their LEADER!

And Democrats should continue pushing out the ineffective leaders and replace them with those that will actually fight.

Wow, does nobody see this as the lesser of two evils and be able to articulate why well enough to get the rest of the party behind it with a solid message? A shutdown would have made the opposition’s work much easier. My humble opinion…

Either in or you should get out

After Schumer’s epic CR cloture vote cave and his clueless follow-up interviews, I was finally able to come up with a nickname for him: Chuck “The Schmuck” Schumer I know, it’s very Trumpy, but it does seem to capture the current zeitgeist among Dems too

Thanks @schumer.senate.gov for preventing a government shutdown. The Courts are winning against Trump. "Federal courts could operate for several weeks without congressional funding, relying on fees and other funds, but eventually would have to scale back activity." www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

GDI, why are dem leaders afraid of bravery???

Let’s get “creative” y’all! Please 🙏 repost! youtu.be/ejjP8IWjYYs

This has all the impact of a mom counting to 3.

The Revenge of the Bidenists!

Why did he stop short ?

Don't hold back. Tell him to take a hike. His constituents are.

It seems like Bennet is beating around the bush but everyone gets the point 😂🔥 Should Schumer be worried?

We don't have the time to stop short any longer. Niceties are over, we need new leaders, bold leaders, leaders who will bring an actual gun to a gunfight, not a peanut butter sandwich and a harshly worded letter.

If you’re not calling for him to step down, you’re just grandstanding. If you don’t lead the resistance, you shouldn’t be upset with the path resistance takes…

I went to a "town hall" he was at a few days ago. It was great! A decent man.

JUST SAY IT, JESUS.

I’m almost 50, and I don’t connect with him. The only thing we have in common is we’re both Democrats.. well at least I still am..

Exactly 👏👏

The new Dem party motto, "came pretty close."

I’ve always liked him. He’s pretty quiet…. Until he’s not.

When Bennet actually did call for Schumer’s Resignation from the Senate Minority Leader position then write an article about it. Otherwise, this is clickbait, NPR!! DO BETTER NEXT TIME!!

Now ask him who should lead the Dems in th Senate. There is currently only one Senator that caucuses with the Dems that is resonating with voters, and he's not even a Democrat.

At this point, remove the damn "donkey" and just use the "cowardly lion." That would be more accurate.

The problem is that Schumer and a lot of the Democrats there would rather give up power to Trump. Then let the AOC, Bernie, Sanders, and other progressive have a leadership role or listen to the people.

Lmao cry harder shitlib

Tired of Democratic wimps.... It's good to be saintly, but you also have to throat punch a M'fer when they need it.

So he ALMOST made a brave statement? Almost, isn't good enough. The democrats can't seem to find a single backbone among them.

I think Senator Bennet should go. He's not doing anything but supporting chaos for everyone. He and most Republicans do not deserve to "serve (a joke)" be in office. They are simply collecting paycheques. They are a pitiful excuse for leaders representing Americans.

That’s the political version of telling your boss, ‘We appreciate your leadership’ while secretly updating your LinkedIn.

Close doesn't cut it

Not a time for division. Listen to Mr Shurmer explaining his reasoning behind the vote.

"IT'S HIS TURN!"

The playbook should not include always being on your back foot in a defensive position. Take the hypocrisy of Conservatives and throw it back into their faces before they act on their authoritarian tenancies. It is called flip the script.

Yet another somnambulant Democrat almost did something! Yeehaw!

Schumer has worked primarily to represent Wall Street for many years at this point so I get the anger. However I suspect as we slip from the current recession into an economic depression over the next 10 months, the Wall Street guys are going to become big allies is overthrowing Republican control.

Schumer must go. Now.

They're so embarrassing

Oooooh! Pretty darn close! I have the vapors…

Don’t know why he stopped. He would have been correct to ask Chuck to step down.

Good For You #SenMichaelBennet tell #senmcconnell he’s just taking up space in that #SenateGop Seat & he’s a bloody liability.

Shumer is totally too old, socially awkward and out of touch.

Dear Democrats, if you want my vote thenyou need to start earning it, you need to fight for us and not against us. We need to see if you still care about us because we know the Republicans don't. We will not be waiting for you forever, so you need to get it together asap. Signed the American people

this this this this thiiiiis!!!

Glad someone is turning against the coward. @schumer.senate.gov has had a long political career and none of it matters because his legacy will always be that he was a coward that gave in to fascists.

"Pretty darn close" 🥴🥴

But Schumer is great at Leading the Minority Democrats. /s

Spineless refusal to call out the names of those in question is the exact same lack of backbone that those who need to be removed have relied on for decades. Be direct if you want to make a point. Stop pussyfooting around. Call them out by name. That goes for EVERYONE, Bennet included.

Chuck Schumer had one job. Hold the line. He bolted to the enemy. We are in a war for our republic and our way of life and he caved.

Senate Democrats need to replace Chuck Schumer with a leader for the American people. Schumer is not fit to lead. He's stuck in the mode of "leading" the senate minority like he's leading a gentleman's social club. He doesn't see republicans as the ruthless and cutthroat adversaries that they are.

What are preparing for from the elected Democrats is: "We aren't going to do anything, but if the electorate keeps us on the fire, we will rethink that." The problem of revolutions from below is that they take enormous amounts of time.

Chuck Schumer should step down. We need a Democrat Senate leader who can lead with a singular message against this corrupt authoritarian regime. Now is not the time to sing kumbaya.

BREAKING: Dems kind of sort of come close to thinking about actual consequences for exploitive actions. Thankfully, they immediately received a call from their corporate PACs and lobbyists, averting the potential crisis of real governance.

I see variations on this every day here: Trump MUST Be Impeached NOW!! I get the passion. But, please, stop with messages like these. You’re just yelling into the void. Rs WON'T do it. But, Ds could generate news and educate people. THAT’S constructive. Let's push them to TURN UP THE HEAT!

And Democrats are tired of LefTea hangers on doing nothing but sabotaging Democrats gaining power. Biden pulled this country out of the ditch, and I bet you lambasted him the entire time.

@bennet.senate.gov you should have! Balls up! Schumer needs to go.

not sure if this was the intention or not, but this reads exactly like an Onion headline lmao

Now is the time for unity, not division.

All wimps
