A Quinnipiac poll found that only 32% of voters would blame Democrats in Congress for a government shutdown, versus 53% who would blame Trump/Republicans in Congress.

If it’s not too late call Gillibrand & tell her she should be screaming to shut down govt. CR is the only leverage we have to slow down trump dismantling our democracy & running amuck, tariffs on/off on/off, bully Zelensky/Ukraine, side w/Putin,fire employees w/no thought, sell cars on WH lawn 😡
Schumer is a disaster, but don’t conflate him with the 99% of Senators/Reps who have/will vote against the CR.
Including these heroes from swing states who are risking their careers.
Just like anyone with an affliction, we need to take a good, honest look at ourselves. Hard to do, but necessary. Acknowledging the problem is the first step to solving it.
It’s time for Democrats to be loud and clear that any Senate Democrat, that votes in favor of passing this budget will be primary when they’re up for reelection. Each and every one of them should be unfollowed on all platforms. I do not follow Trump’s puppets.
#Betrayal #10Sellouts #10Primaries it’s like Sinema joined with Manchin & had 10 minions! #Shame

Unforgivable simple mistakes. His interview with @chrislhayes.bsky.social was painful to watch.
"Yes, there's a threat to democracy itself taking place today, and yes, it's the Republican's fault."
"But we will support them this time."
The man is either incompetent, or operating under duress.
Simply put, a vote FOR cloture allows the Senate to stop
talking about it and move on to a vote on this fascist bill. Since the Repubs have enough minions to vote for it, it will pass. So a vote for cloture is a vote for passage.
The Senator seems out of touch with reality. The Nov 24 senate election debacle, and now this. What else is going to do/or not do to sell the Dem Party and our country down the river?
Who cares who would get the “blame”? So sick and tired of optics, politics, and the like being more important to dem leadership than doing what is right by the American people. This CR is brutal and voting against it should be not even a question in their minds.
What if Democrats had a discussion live on internet, on the subject, so anyone could hear the arguments and get a better understanding of the situation?
I could give less than almost anything who takes the blame here. 1) it’ll be forgotten in 6 months and 2) the destruction and consequences of accepting this turd of a CR is untenable.
This is not the time for politics .. this is the time.. this is the hill .. this is where the Dems should die… forget about futuristic election that may never happen.. FFS stand up and save what we can.. just say Nope.. either way it’s ALL bad.. so do the least possible damage.. ALL bad..
Any Senate Democrats that Vote Yes to pass The House GOP Bill & liar Racist Felon Criminal Dictator Trump need to Vote out, because they are not real Democrats & do not care What their Supporters & Voters need & want, Fuck Them, Specialty the liar scare hypocrite Chuck Schumer!

There is an important distinction between Governance and Leadership. Governance from the opposition within an Oligarchy is almost meaningless unless it is disruptive.
Democrats need to:
- stop legislating by poll (or claiming to - using them like a drunkard uses a lamp post).
- get rid of Schumer
- get rid of anyone who listens to James Carville, Rahm Emmanuel, and their ilk
32% equals the hardcore MAGA base. Those people will never blame Trump for anything. The rest of America, including some MAGA knows exactly who's to blame. All of this is 100% Republicans responsibility.
The Democrats aren’t trying to shut the government down. They are ready and willing to negotiate. If the Republicans won’t, they are trying to shut the government down.
Schumer is the perfect representation of today's Democratic Party (with some notable exceptions like AOC). Milquetoasts who abide by the Marquess of Queensberry rules while the Republicans are fighting a no holds barred, no disqualification WWE cage match.
the same exact 32% of people who represent the floor for Trump support who are never going to abandon him and will throw themselves on the fire when he dies.
All these failure are both party. We need more young and aggressive. We had all 3 branches and not much happen either, diffidently much better under Dem but they are failing
It's not really about opinion to change minds, so the only thing left is pain. We've all seen the videos, the only thing that affects a MAGA voter is when it starts to affect them.

We ALL KNOW who is behind the shutdown: TRUMP
Angry
Mad as hell...
Disappointed at how this happened.
Disappointed because as children, we learned about ideal government.
We aged and figured realized corruption existed. But it was held in check and people were shamed if caught.
Disappointed because normal is a bad movie.
(Which makes no sense of course)
Out of the blue in the Oval Office Trump blurts this out.
A veiled threat?
Schumer changed his vote after this.

Otherwise we will primary your ass and vote you out.

In truth, there is no government to save.
MAGA have violently attacked our Capitol and filled our government with grifters & fascists.
If Democrats help MAGA out of this mess, we'll know America is dead.

We need Leadership! Schumer is sucking toes.

Can you name any contract, treaty or agreement that rump hasn’t reneged on?
I said they are willing.
In contrast to Republicans who don’t even give lip service to the idea of negotiation.
You can't win a fight by rolling over and getting it shoved up your ass
PLEASE listen to the people.
EXPOSE their DONORS!!
END their CAREERS - forever!!
You capitulated, bowed down and obeyed in advance.
FOR NOTHING!!
Because the other 66 percent can think for themselves.
