Schumer's gotta go

Reposted from Sahil Kapur

SCHUMER just now: "While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse."

I've called my senators and I've called Schumer and I requested on all the Bluesky sites for the Senators to vote against cloture. Is there anything else I can do?

@schumer.senate.gov NO IMPOUNDMENTS OR NO BUDGET!

hobbidysparks.bsky.social•14 days ago

But you want Republicans to take blame for the failing economy. If Dems shut down the govt, Dems will get the blame.

ngage.bsky.social•14 days ago

There’s always something.

taygee.bsky.social•14 days ago

When @schumer.senate.gov colludes with the nazis to continue the naziisms, he's making us all nazis.

lukeadcox.bsky.social•14 days ago

We gotta replace Schumer.

elanamich70.bsky.social•14 days ago

@chuckschumer.com lost his spine long ago. He is feckless and useless. He needs to step down from leadership. He should not run for senate again.

stuadel.bsky.social•14 days ago

Don’t give up yet. Takes minutes. Reach out to Schumer and Gillibrand..

Schumer has to go

daydaes.bsky.social•14 days ago

This is worse than caving to a dictator? GTFO!

trishad501.bsky.social•14 days ago

I say let it shut down. Trump and Musk are going to do what they want either way. Stop giving in. Stop the insanity.

cathymac.bsky.social•14 days ago

Then you’ve been lying.

mteague.bsky.social•14 days ago

Chuck Schumer is complicit. I mean obviously, but what a complete, and total collapse.

So fucking stupid. What tiny bit of leverage they have they refuse to use.

Too busy wringing their hands.

Been saying they have to cave but find 7 retiring senators to do it. Time for new blood.

xavex.bsky.social•14 days ago

Anyone voting for cloture needs to go. They don't need to listen to Schumer.

warmcoffeebreath.bsky.social•14 days ago

No fuckin wonder they can’t get votes they might as well be farts in the wind

myglow-61.bsky.social•14 days ago

I don’t know what to think anymore🥲

I miss "shanking Mitch McConnell" Schumer. Bring that guy back.

mark42r.bsky.social•14 days ago

Schumer your nothing but a fucking person who lies just like trump! Resign!!!!! Asshole!

chuckmakescalls.bsky.social•14 days ago

NO BUDGET UNTIL NO DOGE! Democrats have to stop the anti-constitutional assault on the US government! Republicans have ALREADY shut down the FedGov by letting a bunch of nazi-tesla-intern-randos do WE DONT KNOW WHAT BECAUSE THERE’S NO OVERSIGHT.

Call EVERY DEM SENATOR - NO BUDGET UNTIL NO DOGE!

julietebo.bsky.social•14 days ago

He is way too enmeshed with the NY financial industry. The Democratic Senators must elect a new leader; he’s well past his prime and will not relinquish his power gracefully. IF he decides to run again, his opponents must hammer him over his capitulation.

tricam-tyrant.bsky.social•14 days ago

Increasingly convinced that Chuck is Biden and Trump level senile. He may literally not comprehend that Trump said that today. He just simply doesn't know what's going on.

tashalyn.bsky.social•14 days ago

I guess he hasn’t noticed that the government is being dismantled and sold for parts, which is worse than a temporary shut down. Who is he really for? Crypto billionaires?

kenwang3900.bsky.social•14 days ago

Long overdue. Many of these democrat leaders won't have to gut and brain to fight the current GOPs.

chiwatt.bsky.social•14 days ago

Why I’m not giving them a goddamn dime until they clean house. They knew what would happen if he won and the scrambling on this type of bullshit. People are FURIOUS.

premonitions.bsky.social•14 days ago

Calling him as a NY Dem voter telling him he’s never getting another dollar or vote from me and I will GLADLY fundraise a primary challenger.

Same for Gillibrand. Spineless fucking cowards.

chuckmakescalls.bsky.social•14 days ago

premonitions.bsky.social•14 days ago

LOL his office doesn’t accept calls after hours, the coward.

Sent him a STRONGLY worded email on his “contact me” page however and Kirsten Gillibrand got another voicemail from me, two in one day!

chuckmakescalls.bsky.social•14 days ago

Keep it up, first thing in the morning too. Call each of their offices, sometimes people in the local offices answer when the DC people don’t.

And keep @'ing them and your favorite media/news personalities. They need public media pressure as well as social/constituent pressure.

the fking cowards

huntnjade.bsky.social•14 days ago

Schumer is on my burn shit down list.

rincewind.run•14 days ago

he's going to get jammed on every single thing for the rest of the term, even if somehow the Dems win the Senate next year

he'll roll again and again and we cannot afford it

a primary challenge should launch today

elkmovie.bsky.social•14 days ago

He’s not up until ‘28, but we can start demanding votes to remove him as leader tomorrow

alicedyeforme.bsky.social•14 days ago

Screw that. When he goes home, people with nothing to lose and the physical courage need to ensure he never returns to DC.

hospicefoods.bsky.social•13 days ago

People will call this unhinged.. I have payed attention to at least the domestic politics in the u.s. my entire life. I wouldn't have agreed with you in the past. It wouldn't have been necessary, there were options.
But now, that is our only reasonable or potentially effective response

jtothe.bsky.social•14 days ago

I just called my reps and senators and probably sounded like I was raging tell them to vote on this damn bill and for them to tell Schumer and Jeffries to fuck off and get new leadership, they're failing us hard here.

section5.bsky.social•14 days ago

He’s not up until ‘28. If y’all want an immediate change, you can only demand he resign as leader, or go further and demand he resign his senate seat entirely.

pdxsunshine.bsky.social•14 days ago

I literally think AOC should declare *tonight*.

ajtra.bsky.social•14 days ago

I am just an outsider(from Europe) but it seems clear to me, that all those old farts should just give the steering wheel to @aoc.bsky.social and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

celticdragon1.bsky.social•14 days ago

He is the dictionary definition of learned helplessness. Conflict aversion as an aspirational lifestyle

raj2.futureboytech.space•14 days ago

Isn’t the very stable genius shutting down the federal government without Congress?

hospicefoods.bsky.social•13 days ago

Sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and I think for almost all congress people that is more a literal type of thing

zengirl65.bsky.social•14 days ago

Appeasement didn’t stop Hitler and it won’t stop Trump. We learn nothing.

theodoesart.bsky.social•14 days ago

i really love how i kinda remember during biden's presidency we were able to have government shutdowns meanwhile they are less willing to do it under trump. its hard not to say some of these dems just seem big supporters of republicans.

dyoung1993.bsky.social•14 days ago

I don't remember any shutdowns during Biden's Presidency.

theodoesart.bsky.social•14 days ago

i thought there was a shutdown like in december dont remember the year because of some disagreement? maybe im misremembering i just remember there has been other shutdowns in the past.

dyoung1993.bsky.social•14 days ago

The last one I remember was December 2018 under Trump. There have been plenty of threats of them since though, but there's always been a CR passed at the last minute.

theodoesart.bsky.social•14 days ago

ah maybe thats what i was thinking about so i must be wrong lol. my bad.

cjnowak.bsky.social•14 days ago

I think this should sober up the faction among us that believes 2028 midterms and an impeachment / removal is a viable future. It is crystal clear now that the current coterie of Dem morons and cowards in the senate would not vote to remove Trump.

wattasecond.bsky.social•13 days ago

What’s the opposite of having your cake an eating it too?

handandler.bsky.social•13 days ago

Being the end of a human centipede, with an inserted buttplug

balbrecht.bsky.social•14 days ago

Schumer is like Neville Chamberlain but more accommodating.

ebognacki.bsky.social•14 days ago

When the history of the beginnings of authoritarian rule in America is written, Chuck Schumer will be remembered as “the great enabler of fascism”.

bellbookandvinyl.bsky.social•14 days ago

Does anyone else feel like maybe our politicians are being threatened by Trump and Elon? Like maybe they are threatening to hurt their families if they don’t do what they say? It’s weird to see a huge flip with no indication of why.
