The best news is that A.O.C. will now be seen as a voice to be heard, Amen.
She has my vote!!! Hands down, she knows how to take the fight to the source, unlike the Senatorial decorum that is uncalled for in this unprecedented time.
That's what @bkindivisible.bsky.social joined the national organization in calling for him to resign as minority leader. He doesn't represent New York and hasn't for most of his career.
Yes but clearly they also see there is no alternative at this point! Elections are either or, not popularity contests. If not one, the other. GOP is a disaster for everyone and not voting is also disaster. Look at the last election.
better yet let’s make a third political party AOC, Crockett, Green, Sanders etc and others proven to support the people. and leave the baggage of Democrat behind
Recent polls are in a new level of toilet bowl they've never been - especially during an administration where Democrats aren't actually decision making
I sure hope not. Your analogy is that 1 rotten apple ruins the whole bushel. From what I am seeing is most Democrats just want Schumer out because he is not in line with the American constituents .
That's exactly what it is, if we don't rigorously get rid of rotten apples the entire barrel rots, especially when that rotten apple is at the very top.
Best we stop ceding power and responsibility for our own wellbeing to these incapable hacks.
Stop giving them our attention and build our own structures and safety nets.
It’s not “left” or “right”; it’s capitalism or community!
Time to clean house and remove the insider trader obstructionists. They're only concerned for their donors and portfolios. When it comes time to stand up they run and hide.
We cannot possibly take them seriously ever again if they don't get their shit together.
I have completely ended financial support for those in the Dem party (including my own Senator) and instead giving money to people who are organizing on a local level to help people survive this.
I can do some of the work. They are doing more of the work.
I agree. Norms have changed. People are fed up. The dems have to come dressed like Zelenskyy -ready for battle , dressed like their supporters. We’re in a war and there’s no being nice.
This fight is up to us. Don't wait for anyone to tell you what to do. Focus on the MAGA GOP who are destroying our country. Pick a street corner near you and start protesting.
Funny thing - people keep arguing that Dems fail to understand that they can drive public opinion rather than just follow it. But, if you’re Chuck Schumer, it’s true that you can’t drive public opinion because no one takes you seriously or wants to hear what you have to say or even look at you.
This has been going on a while. Sinema, Manchin, Fetterman. Long list of "Dem's Not Dems". Newsome, Shapiro definitely playing in the shallow end of that pool.
@cschumer.gov
Totally disagree. The problem Chuck has is that he no longer represents the Democratic base. He’s old and out of touch, and he’s voting like a Republican. Bye bye Chuck.
Schumer has been an institutionalist kind of like biden and Did Durban for a long time. His time has passed. We need Bernie and AOC and anybody else like Jasmine Crockett.
"call an unscheduled meeting of the Conference at the request of 20 percent of the Members"
"until one candidate receives the votes of the majority of Conference Members present and voting, at which point such candidate shall be declared elected."
No worries about Schumer, his retirement countdown clock officially started with last wks GOP budget vote. As for the rest… perhaps they’ll witness his demise and get their shit together.
I feel as if the Democrats pick a sacrificial moderate to be the lightning rod for the ghoulish mess that is the party. They can usually get people to forget by the next election cycle.
I’ve seen them do this enough times where I don’t think it’s a case of the caucus “backing the wrong horse”.
This is so true. For anyone that sees this. The DNC has comment and email capabilities. So on top of contacting your local Dem Senators, we can also hound the party as well! Like it seems we should be applying pressure in every way possible.
GOV. Has been "F" up for yrs it's just 54 days faster; "I did not vote for Trump", I've been getting screwed for yrs "Especially State agencies", healthcare, workers comp,Union arbitration, unemployment,Court Systems, lawyers, they're all compromised or corrupted; "they even took my stimulus check"!
For the sake of humanity, love and compassion for children, they are before your eyes. Have mercy on them by quoting the post, publishing it or helping, and you will not abandon them.💔💔😭
They are counting on enough time passing people forget about the democratic party problems or do the lesser of two evils that everyone talks about every 4 years

It hasn’t worked thus far
Agonizing LOL that is
they're in a completely unknown game
Though I have little faith that that end is for the benefit of the people.

But now I am confident my small amount of support is going to the best people.

Suddenly they'll hold a meeting he suspiciously wasn't invited to.
The riptide will drag him under and he will be left behind, holding the blame.

Capitalism and colonization need to end.
@schumer.senate.gov must go
