AOC sounds like a leader on this issue. Schumer sounds like he’s trying to rationalize a bad decision. AOC is winning the message war on this. Schumer is cooked.
WTF! I guess he “has no skin in the game” if this bill passes. Allowing Republicans to pass this reprehensible legislation will devastate our economy, cripple our middle class and make women, minorities and LGBT people second class citizens. A traitor to everyone who expected him to stand with them.
Schumer is using Trump style diplomacy. Give Putin what he wants, then negotiate peace. Schumer wants to accept tax breaks for the rich paid for by cuts to social services, then negotiate saving social services sometime later. NO, just no! AOC is right again.
@schumer.senate.gov you are a traitor selling out the American people by voting to approve a Republican budget that cuts taxes for the rich and slashes Medicaid and other beneficial programs that benefit average Americans. Do not bail out the Republicans! Let the government shut down!
I'm a moderate, New York Democrat. AOC feel free to primary Schumer. You have my vote. His move today is completely out of touch with his constituents.
Every day, I think to myself “Democrats can’t get any weaker or dumber” in every Fing GD day they prove me wrong! I can’t even watch the the national news anymore. Only local. If I’m not yelling at the TV because of the Republicans, I’m yelling because of the Democrats.
AOC, is correct. If the democrats vote for this, they will put a nail in their coffin because of their willingness to give Trump what he wants. It will be seen as giving GOP a free pass to stand and not be responsible for their spinelessness to fight for their constituents. Dems to a rescue. Sad!
Schumenr is a fucking shill.
A spineless disgrace.
HE has HIS healthcare and $$$ so he doesn't give a shit that fElon is going to steal SS from the elderly and disabled.
For the GOP, the Democrats ending themselves as a viable party will not be seen as a mistake. They will no longer have any opposition and the Democratic voters will be so totally demoralized that it will damage their will to resist.
It was good while it lasted. But now, onward to the end.
She is right again. Dem leadership needs to listen to Bernie and AOC. This is their moment. They were made for this. They have been speaking to wealth inequality and oligarchs from the jump. They can reach the people regardless of party affiliation and mobilize us.
The old guard in the Democratic Party needs to get out of the way. Out of touch, rich people in their 70's and 80's cock blocking progess just as much as MAGA politicians anymore.
Chuck Schumer just caved. He is a complete disgrace. He needs to go. This MUST be the end of his senate career and he leaves in shame. What a complete coward, embarrassment and disgrace. He’s no New Yorker!
We need more like AOC and Bernie. There are others as well, but most Democrats in Congress just don't seem interested in saving democracy. They seem more interested in saving their own little political careers. Pathetic.
Well,
One of Schumer's daughters works for Facebook & is very close with Zuckerberg (vacation together and so on); and another works as a lobbyist for Bezos' Amazon.
Schumer & his entire family will be great under oligarchy.
So he will happily collaborate with Trump & Musk, & pretend that he is not.

Sadly, Schumer has metamorphosed to be the democratic McConnell: he is the one with the “clever” justifications to end up doing the wrong things.
Schumer is unfit to fight fascism.
Can you imagine how much better this country would be if politicians came with all of the above?

And just like that, I knew we were being sold into slavery.
