I suggest you listen to @realtexaspaul.com ‘s thoughtful & wise posts in this regard. I haven’t seen or heard anything more rational (albeit sad) anywhere. And if true Democrats turn their backs on our party, we’re truly screwed.

And just for the record, there was, is, and continues to be zero evidence that any of this "originated" with Schumer. I get wanting a scapegoat. Blame the Dems that voted the way you don't like and work to get them removed. Schumer isn't some magical god-king Oz. He doesn't have control of this.

Maybe we will pay for it. Maybe. I think it's just as likely that the shutdown will end up having been a net positive for Dems. Consider: Trump's ratings tanked, the election was a blue wave, and the shutdown seems to have clarified, for many voters, where the two parties stand.

You think all the very complex statements those Senators have publicly made to explain their votes were all fabricated, and the real reason is 100% Schumer? I'm sorry. That's ludicrous.

Just going to clarify this one more time: It's childish to assume that Schumer magically controlled all these votes and somehow "used" 8 sitting Senators to "cover his ass". Childish. You think 8 people took a very unpopular vote just to save Schumer and there's a conspiracy to keep it quiet? Silly.

To be fair, Pelosi never had to herd the Senate. It's a different animal. You don't actually know whether Schumer or any leader could have prevented these particular votes under this particular combination of pressures and circumstances, facing an opposition that does. not. care about the damage.

Chuck needs to read the room and step aside.

Chuck is a disgrace.

People are starving, 9 days on 50% snap. This was over when Ketanji Brown Jackson stopped snap payments.

At this point, I think he'd do a better job than Schumer. This isn't the first time Dems had the upper hand and caved under Schumer.

The No Kings rally great, but let's not overestimate their influence here. There are far more, party-less AND ignorant of what's going on who don't care if it's the Dems or Trump, they want to eat, they want to see their families in a few weeks. Schumer and Jeffries job begins now...

I REALLY REALLY HOPE CHUCK SCHUMER DOES NOT CAVE TO DON SNORELEON!!

My disappoint there was vastly tempered by the fact it was clear the Republicans wouldn't play ball anyway. Now it's that much more obvious. Therefore, may as well demand more concessions.

People need to be much more respectful to Chuck Schumer. To be able to function at all after having his spine removed is a remarkable accomplishment. I just wish he would function someplace besides the US Senate.

It's so maddening.

But otherwise, yes, Schumer needs to go.

We might not be in this situation if ppl like you didn't use your audience to promote the idea that voting third party is a wasted vote. We need a strong third party to break this nonsense. If you could go back would you consider Gary Johnson or stick on the Unelectable-Hillary-Train? The same coin.

Time to remove Schumer. If he caves, this will not turn out well for the democrats. Credibility will be lost.

20 bucks says schumer is in the epstein files.

Fuck Chuck

Schumer's balls:

Chuck Schumer didn't cave! Come on, Wil, be smarter! It was a master class in political ploy. He laid a trap and the GOP walked right in it. There was NO CHANCE the GOP would take them up on it, and now Schumer and Dems have them on record, undermining any argument that this is the Dem's fault.

I'm not trying to keep Schumer around, but this case is more complicated than that. Listen to @hcrichardson.bsky.social 's post from Friday night, she explains it all.

Ah ok that truly sucks.

Its almost as if trying to work within the system won't work

But, what if his imaginary Republicans tells him to cave? Then he has to, right? Imaginary opinions outweigh actual constituent opinions, or so I am told by Chuck.

Hes one of them. Dont get it twisted

I also find it fascinating that it's happening on a Sunday when most people are out doing things or watching football, and won't notice until they read the paper in the morning or catch the news tonight. Anger doesn't even begin to describe my emotions.

He refused to back Mamdani, and voted for Cuomo. He needs to be removed ASAP

Schumer is so far out of his league. It's embarrassing, really. 🙄
