A shutdown would give Donald Trump and Elon Musk carte blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now.

It’s already happening. If you are not able to see this you are not the leader for the time. Either lead the senators against this horrific CR and cloture or resign leadership. Someone strong will step up and listen to us. Lead. Do it. Now.

No. For once listen to what we the people are wanting. You are backing down to bullies and we need Democrats to stand up and fight! Shut it down and make them come to the table. If you vote yes then the continued destruction of our country is on YOU

A shutdown would make Democrats look like they’re rubber stamping everything the Republicans are ruining. You will never win an election again and you will deserve it for being such a pathetic excuse for a politician. Go fuck off somewhere with Pelosi.

You’re a liar and a coward. If you guys can’t fight back in this moment then get out of the way. Resign, you are not fit for this moment and you’re not fit to lead.

Allowing this to go through makes you all look weak and pathetic! I have been a staunch democrat all my life and I am telling you your party wants YOU to fight this amd let the Rebublicans own the shutdown because they don't have the votes on their own!!!!!

Vote to pass their disastrous budget and you will accelerate the pain with which we are already dealing. Please stop trying to scare us with your multiple excuses. You’re only demonstrating your weakness and your lack of leadership.

Respectfully sir, these posts you’re using to try and scare us?! You’re wasting your time sir. Makes you look weak. There’s only one correct way to vote on this…and it’s NOT in support of this disastrous Republican Budget!

Or you could use what power you have to Demand Concessions in the budget bill and force them to stop enabling the harm THEY ARE ALREADY DOING! Don’t just give them Everything They Want without Even Trying! You’re a politician. DO SOME DANG POLITICS.

Go fuck yourself. Spineless coward who isn’t fit to represent anyone. Your pathetic excuse for a party should primary your decrepit ass. I hope you get what you deserve you collaborationist bastard.

VOTE NO!! Are you kidding me? This is like a scene from Christmas Vacation. Look around you Chuck, we are already on the threshold of hell. Don't give them the keys to take us the rest of the way there. Get concessions with the little bit of power that you have. Geez

Hey chuck, where’d that spine of yours go? We need you to vote NO. What they will accomplish if you vote yes is so much worse. Do you not care about your fellow Americans? I was hoping we could count on you. Please please do the right thing.

They are already destroying everything...... FIGHT You are weak. Trump is overthrowing our democracy, ignoring the judicial & legislative branches of government. Democrats should not normalize this by voting with MAGA Republicans.

They are doing that now while you write some CAN I SPEAK TO THE MANAGER letters. Step down now, you are useless. Hope you enjoy stabbing your base in the back, protecting your own crooked interests.

You are surrendering everything for tax cuts for the rich. I am so frustrated with watching you roll over for this growing wealth redistribution to the upper ten percent. I am sick of it as I watch my future evaporate. You don’t want a middle class or safety net. Stop and fight.

As a constituent, I am disgusted. Handing them a legal shield for their actions is probably the stupidest thing democrats could do. They are going to keep on doing whatever they want, shutdown or no shutdown, but if you hand them a legal excuse, you've officially approved of it.

It is time for Schumer (aka Neville Chamberlain) to go. The Senate needs new leadership that has a spine. Dems caught between Scylla and Charybdis should take the road that shows some fight. Senate Dems must vote "no" today and force the Republicans to own this shut-down and negotiate.

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW? THEY ARE SHUTTING IT DOWN! STAND UP AND BE A LEADER! VOTE NO! VOTE NO! VOTE NO! VOTE NO! OTHERWISE STEP DOWN AND RESIGN!!!!

You are failing to meet the moment. We need leadership that you are not capable of providing. Vote no on cloture! Vote no on the bill, then step aside and let somebody actually lead. Your weakness is useless to this country!

Maybe if you had actually led starting in November you wouldn’t be in this position. Resign and find real leadership. We’re waiting to fight but can’t if you won’t.

How much more carte blanche can he have? They’ve raped the govt with little more than a peep from you as the minority leader! Use your filibuster you all protected so hard last session rather than fold! If you fold now you might as well go home!!! Negotiate! Show some courage!! Fight!!!

I just called and let it ring dozens of times but no one picked up. I suppose if they just ignore it and let it ring with no voicemail, then they don't have to officially count it as a call. Answering or letting it go to voicemail would count as another citizen calling them.

Bro you literally look like a turtle’s ballsack after soaking in water for 48 hours. Go back to your fucking hole, support the damn democrats for fucking pussy ass bitch.

they are absolutely already doing this - stop kidding yourself that they need a shut down to destroy our country. They need to see that Democrats will stand up to them, not play into their game plan

It’s pathetic how you’ve spent the entire time since your decision became public defending yourself and trying to get ahead of your betrayal to the American people. So proud of House Dems just have to have your spineless leadership capitulate. For shame.

Sorry, Chuck. We've beeen through and survived budget shutdowns before. We have NEVER been assaulted like Trump and Elon are doing and you are backing this statement with the same stern words you have for everything else. Get on board or retire.

You accumulated so much power and privilege, and when it matters you repeatedly refuse to rise to the occasion and fight. You are a deep disappointment to your party and you should retire and let someone who can handle the current moment take leadership.

That's not the argument you think it is. He's already got carte blanche because no one has been standing up to stop him. Doing this is the internal equivalent of a policy of appeasement.

Gurl, they’re already doing it! Voting for the CR is like saying the robber was going to rob my house anyway so I gave them the keys so they didn’t break a window.

I just can’t let this go, if this CR passes it just legalizes the administration robbing us blind. Currently their dismantling of the government isn’t legal and is being challenged in court and, no matter how slow the process, it is forcing them to reverse their actions.

It is pathetic that you are not using the ONE tool you have to stop more destruction. Please do not vote in favor of the current CR. It just gives them more money and power to keep destroying this country. Stopping the government is the only hope you have for negotiation

Your indecision is a disservice to the voters who put you there. We need strength, vision, and resolve qualities you lack. Vote no on cloture, no on this bill, then step aside. Let someone with courage and competence lead. Your weakness holds us back when bold leadership is needed most.

No, it just guarantees that it also hurts the services THEY care about and not just the ones that WE do. We’re losing either way, you’re just letting them win and get away with it.

News flash: THEY’RE GOING TO DO IT ANY WAY!!! So, what are you going to do other than fall in line and give them what they want? Cause he seems to be exploiting your party’s nature of never disturbing the status quo…when they are blatantly doing that.

Resign immediately. Until the DNC reforms itself as is, I will never vote for anyone involved with it again. You have for the LAST TIME. Turned your back on us after we elected you. Cannot believe the Democratic Party voted to STEAL the working people’s benefits and right to the SS Trust we fund.
