Here’s the leadership change we need: we need Leader Jeffries to be replaced by SPEAKER Jeffries, to check the Trump administration’s wanton destruction and end the madness. Any effort not targeted to that goal is a waste at best and a harm at worst.
Comments
But they started the fire. Don’t get mad at us!”
A shutdown would NOT have been worse than handing Trump MORE power and increased authority to hurt veterans and children.
We need fighters, not posers.
Stop fucking making excuses for Republicans. Drop the childish euphemisms. It’s GOP. It’s all of them. Tells people what Republicans are doing and how evil they are
Time for all the establishment Dems to be primaried by Progressives that actually have a spine.
Job 2 is to elect a leader that is willing to start the fight.
Job 3 is to fucking start fighting. You’re not getting “back” into the fight, because the Democrats in the senate haven’t laced up the gloves once
I’*ve* pissed myself.
Jettison your shitty leader or you’re complicit in his duplicitous idiocy.
There was no fight. That’s the problem.
Schumer needs to step down. Period.
Businesses know that leadership during stable operations is very different from turnarounds and transformations.
The party has become ineffective and it can't deal with challenges ahead. It needs NEW leaders with courage, creativity and energy - not seniority.
Stop voting for any of the Trump nominees.
Stop allowing for unanimous consent. Slow everything down.
Get a new Senate Minority Leader, one who will defend the Constitution and fight for Americans. Schumer is weak and pathetic.
An *actual* leader would withdraw from Unanimous Consent and grind the corruption, looting and destruction to a crawl.
Follow McConnell's playbook from anytime there was a Dem majority. Your constituents deserve better.
He is an anchor around our neck.
We want fighters. Yes, we may get a bloody nose. Yes, we may lose. But at least we will have fought the most dangerous man to ever lead this country. I don't want your weak tea.
And you’re not the guy to replace him.
Get someone with spine and balls in there.
And we (read disaffected Dems) really need folks in leadership who can read the room, actually some of us might be satisfied with leadership *wanting* to read the room—leadership requires explaining so good, bright folks want to follow🤷🏻♀️
I was reminded by this thread yesterday, https://bsky.app/profile/pwnallthethings.bsky.social/post/3lkkan633pc2w
STFU Sheldon.
We’re done with DC Dems who TALK about resisting Trump & then HELP the GOP out by passing their CR.
We are going to replace ALL of you with #DarkBlueDems who FIGHT !
#DeepBlue
He’s owned by lawyers and Wall Street.

I hope a coward like yourself is the minority
You are not capable of understanding how pissed folks are. You think you do, but you aren’t. Get rid of them, or the party will be liquidated for assets
How can we unite behind leaders that failed us so deeply? That bell can't be unrung.

If Trump and Musk wanted a shutdown, they could have ordered senators to vote against it.
Agreed.
I do appreciate the longer explanation.
I think I still will send my few support dollars to local activists.
I still want the Dems to actively fight AND communicate their actions to the public.
He does not respect the Constitution.
He does not respect free speech.
He supports a fascist state.
Respectfully.

That’s it. Do that and we talk. Until then, nah.
Senate Democrats don’t have a lot of daylight between them & those.
It’s the same story all over again $ you apes are poor students of history if you think otherwise.

Because it implies you have been fighting. And that just factually isn't true.
Huck Chuck.
With a shutdown they would have continued what they’ve been doing for 8 weeks anyway. Now they are able to say they have supporting legislation.
That’s why we lose.
These are not normal times, we are losing our freedom. These are extraordinary times & demand extraordinary measures, with leaders who understand & will do what’s necessary to fight them.
Get that thru your head.
How can any of us trust chuck?
He's behaving just like Trump at this point. Say what people want, and then do what he wants, then sell out.
Wonder what the book deals worth?
Democracy, apparently.

So much cope, it’s embarrassing.
Why don't you pretend those voters are Republicans and try to win them over by proving to them they were wrong about Dems being unwilling or unable to fight fascism.
Tell schumer he can kiss my ass.
Whether you think that's fair or not that's the reality.
One man's ego cannot be allowed to hold the nation hostage, not again.
They knew that vote was coming months in advance.
There is no excuse for their pathetic ineptitude.
Whitehouse, Schumer, Gillibrand, Schatz, all of them should resign in disgrace immediately.
Y'all gotta get it together
He needs 2 go. U do 2!
To your/his/Schumer's point, T and M are doing this anyway even with no govt shutdown. What's the value proposition here?
Why the hell did he jerk everyone around then.
Because the House *wanted* the fight. The Party wanted it.
And Chuck *pretended* to want it.
Why lie? Why put everyone through that? Why not just make clear from the beginning that you have no spine?
They fear him more than they feel the need to fulfill their oath to their country.
The rest is true. His handling was total shit.
Now the choice is do we regroup and move on or shut each other out and try to win with fewer people? Can that math work? Will those who are becoming disillusioned...
NOBODY publicly hangs their colleagues out to dry and destroys their credibility like this unless they are being blackmailed, threatened, or bought.
SCHUMER IS COMPROMISED.
He will never be trusted again and is a roadblock now.
Replace him or you might as well give up and go home.
But a shutdown would've showed you meant business. By allowing cloture you allowed it to get to a vote. By getting to a vote, a CR looks to the American people like you are approving Trump's behavior. He's breaking the law & ignoring court orders regardless.
WE FIGHT, WE VOTE, WE DONATE. BUT THE SECOND THINGS GET HARD, SENATE DEM MILLIONAIRES FOLD.
If you keep Schumer, I sincerely hope you get blown out in the midterms, and will work to achieve that outcome.
That is the betrayal. The House Democratic seats who could've pandered to their republican constituents or at least appeased them are now blowing in the wind.
Not a good look when it comes down to it, is it?
This is far far worse than you seem to understand.
We aren't interesting in electing people who hope to put America right back into the conditions that made Trump possible, and that seems to be all you're interested in.
You are not equipped for this moment.
In any other sane country, there’d be a vote of no confidence and they would move aside
you could call for @schumer.senate.gov to be ousted
you didn’t and you won’t, because the D Sen caucus sees their only job as fundraising, full stop
if you’re not here to help, get the fuck out of the way
Especially if @schumer.senate.gov is the Dem leader. I'm done, and I'm not alone in this sentiment
Make it worth something.
We see through this. Will this party ever learn?
We need real leadership. Trump will do everything he would have done during a shutdown, but he now has legal cover.
Chris Murphy for Senate Minority leader. We need a fighter for a change. We aren't in normal times.
Wake up.
Yes "...we're in a battle for our democracy against dangerous forces." We're not going to win unless we, Senate & Congress included, act as a unit.
Define the mission then get the Senate to work as a unit to accomplish it.
Rs couldn't wish for a weaker opposition then you've gifted them with. Too afraid to actually act or stand.
“setup.” Don’t blame us for the “infighting” please. With all due respect, it is not a time for civil debate among friends in the Senate. It’s time for active & unified opposition.
Oust Schumer from leadership or you all look like controlled opposition. We're tired of excuses. Stop listening to those overpaid morons that got your party an 18% approval rating.
Bad shit will happen either way. They should have made the choice that leaves them moral legitimacy.
The Republicans are the corrupt court party
But you let them blur the lines between the “Court party” and the party that ought to be partisan *for* the whole country
We'll have to live with the consequences.
Don’t tell us to support the team when we’ve lost faith in the captain. Read the room.
Better leadership IS how you win. The solution isn’t “try the same tactics again, harder.”
If you want us to fight for the party, don’t make us do it while carrying dead weight.
We deserve better.
No Jeffries, no Schumer and no more Richie Riches.

The government is already broken.
I will never support any Democrat who caved.
Surrendering on the CR was not a reasonable choice, and the Senate can’t sit around waiting for the House to flip in 2027.
Action is needed NOW to ensure free and fair elections at any time in the future.
He stabbed House Dems in the back.
Just resign, man. Let someone with some fight left in them do the job.
The party is run by it's right wing.
If not the other 37 of you that voted no would remove Schumer immediately.
I could vote for you fucktards, if you actually accomplished anything useful.
Congressional Republicans are complicit in Trump’s maiming of the US government. Senate Democrats must fight their framing.
He is not someone who can inspire the Democratic electorate after this. Democrats in the Senate should replace him with someone who can.
Fire Schumer and Hire Elizabeth. She's got something he lacks--a backbone!
And every Senator who is not up for the fight for true democracy must go.

we don't have 2 years.
He and the DCCC will make it rain gobs of cash on any corporate centrists that are friendly to the insurance and defense industries.
He needs to be replaced.
Jeffries is not constitutionally capable for this fight, even if he did manage to get his caucus to stay together.
I agree that Schumer needs to step down immediately though
Not to mention the fact that Jeffries is from the same corrupt network as Schumer.
No. That’s NOT the answer.
Or are you an appeaser too?
How can Republicans be extreme if Democrats will vote for their budgets?
I’m sorry, but the times require it.
by example.
Jeffries spends a good portion of his time bashing progressives AND popular progressive policies that the majority of the American people support like #MedicareForAll
If Jeffries wanted to help the Democratic party he should resign.
“it’s very important that somebody else do something, and i 100% @schumer.senate.gov stabbing you in the back”
no donations until @schumer.senate.gov is out of office
if you’re leaving us on our own, you’re in your own
The democrat party is in shambles because they refuse to represent the evolving needs of their constituency, adapt or get the fuck out of the way.
