These were ridiculous and not helpful. His SM Mgr should be fired. I commented on one of them asking what he was going to do? Action plan, man!!

lindad.bsky.social•32 days ago

I get that we need reps to be more assertive. They need less decorum & more in your face. But a woman crying about anything just gets used against us & feeds them. We need our reps tough, but our people resilient. We need to show courage & patriotism & use humor or music to get our message out.

lindad.bsky.social•32 days ago

We need to show support without showing weakness. Togetherness without division. We need to reflect a party, a movement, that folks want to join.

makena416.bsky.social•31 days ago

It's time to retire, Chuck, and maybe do stand-up where the stakes aren't so high.

kikiballchange.bsky.social•32 days ago

We're so cooked

justplainbeaute.bsky.social•32 days ago

You receive a message from a friend late Saturday night.

You realize your suspicions/instinct were correct all along🤬

We already know that Toyota, who have a car assembly operation with plants in both Canada and the USA, have said they will have to shut down their USA factory if the tariffs are applied.

Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia employee 2,200 people.

West Virginia voted for Trump nearly 2 to 1.

enoughistoomuch.bsky.social•32 days ago

Worried about a lot of things Chuck! This messaging is kind of making a joke of this entire thing when the truth is there are a lot of things you and the dems could be doing! Bout ready to get back fron your break? We could sure use some help! Stuffs been happening while you guys were gone! Work!!

robertm700.bsky.social•32 days ago

No time to “wait” Chuckie.

toddcorley.bsky.social•32 days ago

@schumer.senate.gov MUST RESIGN . . . . We need real leaders for this moment

betterdays331.bsky.social•32 days ago

@ this point the inaction they R showing tells me they R in on the coup or R cashing in 2 B silent.

mea35.bsky.social•32 days ago

You are spot on, Keith. We need Dems Reps like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Eric Swalwell, Sen.Tammy Duckworth, Pete Buttigieg... who bring swords to the knife fight.

bellabluehere.bsky.social•32 days ago

Dems need to figure out action beyond just media messaging perhaps. We need real tangible actions to impact what is happening around us.

nyspitfire.bsky.social•32 days ago

No, we need to become very, very aggressive

brandalorian86.bsky.social•31 days ago

Really don’t know who is more exhausting at this point but the exhaustion is real and starting to work since we are getting it from both sides now….

ponceyinaz.bsky.social•32 days ago

Hey @schumer.senate.gov Musk has seized control of the Treasury payments system so he & Trump can unilaterally enforce draconian budget cuts 2 b proposed by DOGE. Once u can “delete” any appropriation by simply refusing 2 write a check, Congress is an unnecessary appendage, a spectator to a coup.

chay3.bsky.social•32 days ago

Chuck Schumers action measures is a fu**ing grocery list?!

breezysal.bsky.social•32 days ago

Trump ran on lowering groceries. This particular messaging is aimed at that. Trump has everyone wanting to shoot arrows all over the place. This simple but direct message is aimed at Trump voters. (How I see it anyway)
Better than being silent.

dave08201.bsky.social•32 days ago

I am excited that Ken Martin is the new DNC chair because he seems to #understandtheassignment

itsmepd.bsky.social•32 days ago

How about “Elon musk now has the power to stop you from receiving social security payments”

talkingforfree.bsky.social•32 days ago

Step the fck up with ACTION. To quote Def Leppard, ACTIONS NOT WORDS!

cheleashton.bsky.social•32 days ago

The Dems don’t have the stones to be aggressive! We
need new leadership and get these old impotent white guys out of there! JFC, why aren’t they doing something?

breezysal.bsky.social•32 days ago

thelucvill.bsky.social•32 days ago

Chuck needs to be fired. Vote him out and replace him and all the centrist conservatives cosplaying as liberal dems with truly progressive people!

lis-a.bsky.social•32 days ago

💯

diaperpup.bsky.social•32 days ago

Democrats should wake up or there will be no election in 2 years. Elon and Donald are transforming the USA into an authoritarian state

kloadept.bsky.social•32 days ago

He’s at his expensive club house rattling off “zingers” into the void. What if he forced his conference to go back into the office and stand in solidarity against tyranny at the Capital. Much more visceral and meaningful

justbreathe0507.bsky.social•32 days ago

How about pointing out that Canadians are booing our anthem? Canadians! Because of what this POS is doing and for no real reason.

fedupandreadytogo.bsky.social•32 days ago

It's to the point where I want to beat him up and steal his lunch money. Who wouldn't??

fedupandreadytogo.bsky.social•32 days ago

YES!! Like yesterday FFS!

ronpeter1967.bsky.social•32 days ago

One of my fucking Senators! I am so enraged that my blood pressure is up!

artielazarus.bsky.social•32 days ago

think there should be financial penalties when a Senator fails so bad at social media communication that they get ratioed (4x in a row!)?

Like a swear jar for out of touch, geriatric, elected officials.

tallgirl7.bsky.social•32 days ago

For me "do something" means more than "talk". Witty or scathing speech make us feel better, but it's not pushing back on the actions of our current disaster of a government. Our country is so silo'd we are all reading our own confirmation bias. Actions speak louder than words!

dberl.bsky.social•32 days ago

THIS is “stepping up”?
🙄😑🤦🏼‍♀️

breezysal.bsky.social•32 days ago

It’s speaking to the amoeba among us, the Trump
Voter, because he said he’d lower groceries on day 1.
Simple and direct.
Stepping up is stepping up, baby steps, large steps, soft slaps and breathtaking punches.

phillchater.bsky.social•32 days ago

As an outsider looking in, it feels that the sense of apparent collective outrage isn't being matched with appropriate action.

phillchater.bsky.social•32 days ago

I read and hear people saying 'Well we'll have to oppose Trump through the law' but it's like you're trying to play a game of Monopoly honestly with a player who literally just grabbed all the cash from the banker and threw the game board into the fire, declaring victory in the process.

drichards915.bsky.social•32 days ago

Is he getting MAGA kickbacks? It takes effort to be this lame.

hobodrifter.bsky.social•32 days ago

They all are.

drichards915.bsky.social•32 days ago

there are a few dems I hold out hope for, but Schumer is useless

lmmathis.bsky.social•32 days ago

Can we get a Dem National Spokesperson to deal with the shitshow effectively as it hits the fan in real time? @petebuttigiegforthefuture comes to mind.

zombiemom007.bsky.social•32 days ago

FUCK THE DEMOCRATS. They didn’t challenge the vote. They didn’t demand to check the votes that he got because of Elon. They aren’t going to do anything now except try to hold on to their jobs and investments

meg-let.bsky.social•32 days ago

It's like they see the point and run a mile from it.

v0xi.bsky.social•32 days ago

Really hope Canada shuts off power during the Super Bowl. Swing back, guys. Swing back and be petty.

hobodrifter.bsky.social•32 days ago

What a fucking waste of space.

mulefarm.bsky.social•32 days ago

Term Limits

sjbud.bsky.social•32 days ago

Mexico needs to send Canada all the avocados they have and that will really make it a great Super Bowl!

sal-m.bsky.social•32 days ago

That party is complicit. There is no reason Trump should be a free man, after all the crimes he committed against this nation.

el-intrepido.bsky.social•32 days ago

Chuck Schumer is as effective as Garland

This DOLT needs to resign IMMEDIATELY

andreab75.bsky.social•32 days ago

Trump is a genius at marketing and an exceptional "used car type" salesman. He'll say anything to get the deal (or elected). Dem's need experts in marketing and fast. Without them we can't compete.

wellstella1.bsky.social•32 days ago

He's a genius at lying and gaslighting and the Conservative media won't allow the Dems to do that ( or their own conscience either). However, some punchy, aggressive slogans might help.

Learn from the Republicans. Be maximalist in your demands of them. Tell them they've created this mess and now they need to remove Trump for good.

💯 fing percent

cameraguy516.bsky.social•32 days ago

Schumer is my senator and he needs to retire. NOW

lathoril.bsky.social•32 days ago

This isn’t messaging. It’s fucking taunting. WTF is he gonna do about it as leader of the opposition?

luluthecatlady.bsky.social•32 days ago

First order of business for the new DNC chair is to oust ALL senior Democratic leadership. Get rid of Pelosi, Schumer, and all the rest of the older generation of Dems! They failed us! AOC, Crockett, and the young Progressives are the future of Dem Party.

reformedreformer.bsky.social•32 days ago

I believe that one day, AOC will be President. Probably the first female president.

mswest-art.bsky.social•32 days ago

Please, yes!!!

luluthecatlady.bsky.social•32 days ago

I hope I’m alive to see that!

reformedreformer.bsky.social•32 days ago

Me too!!

ash0836.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’m so damn sick of waiting for action by Dems. Why are we waiting for trump to further destroy the fabric of America?

mtnmystic.bsky.social•32 days ago

Wait? Wait for what? The entire financial system to collapse? Chuck is a day late, a dollar short, and a few decades too old for the game as it’s now being played. He’s lighting candles when a flamethrower is needed. Don’t think he’ll survive this if he doesn’t move his a** to stop this coup.

perpetualmotion.bsky.social•32 days ago

L.A.M.E. Time for new energy, realize this is not going to mobilize anyone…..

azdeeann.bsky.social•32 days ago

Wait until Canada cuts off the electricity so you have to find a blue state to travel to to watch it.

iammaureenwest.bsky.social•32 days ago

Messaging? Too late for that. We need action and we need it now.

mkillough.bsky.social•32 days ago

They need to start drafting articles of impeachment - he has broke the law now how many times in 2 weeks, and the country is in absolute chaos. Look what S. Korea did - they wasted no time and we should not either. We can't allow this POS to go unchecked full stop!!!

mollieallen.com•32 days ago

You are 100 percent right. And yes the use of video of real people should be a part of every press conference, comms etc. Sure you may end playing a clip from someone who has a record or some other skeleton (and repubs will jump at that). But the power is in the moment. And the fight is now.

joelcarrillo.bsky.social•32 days ago

This is moving in the right direction. Consider this the popping of the messaging cherry for Schumer. The more he does it the easier it will become to go strong at the MAGA fascist party

pujsoo.bsky.social•32 days ago

We, the people, must rise courageously and stand against the constitutional crisis that endangers our supreme law. Sign now to unite for justice and democracy!

Christ, that’s ridiculous messaging. Does he have a monkey cutting and pasting shit?

patty316.bsky.social•32 days ago

“Don’t make me get out of this chair” Bafoon!

thelastmeow.bsky.social•32 days ago

C’on man! Cancel this #fuckchuck already. He has proven since the genocide and even more now that he ain’t any good to us. He needs to be outed 👉🏽

belialaran.bsky.social•32 days ago

The old guard needs to go.

ronniesunshine.bsky.social•32 days ago

Schumer is always palling it up with the Republicans. That’s the problem, Dem leadership acts like Repubs but without the horrible social and culture war policies.

iamexhausted.bsky.social•32 days ago

@schumer.senate.gov really thought he did something here.

citizen12345.bsky.social•32 days ago

I can barely find any news on the networks this weekend that isn’t a fluff piece on cooking or entertainment. It’s almost as if the government doesn’t want the news to be broadcast.

lou828.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes, and...were past messaging and need lawsuits. The court needs to step in and stop illegal EOs. Yes, call your congressperson, but not just that. Organize, plan, defend democracy and the U.S. against illegal activity by its executive branch.

cheekeymonkey.bsky.social•32 days ago

Ayman on MSNBC was just called out Democratic leaders for being MIA. One guest basically framed it as grassroots anger is real and if current leaders aren’t going to step up, they need to be replaced and get out of the way.

porterarchaeo.bsky.social•32 days ago

This ain’t it 🙄🙄

loufromboston.bsky.social•32 days ago

Schumer is too old for this and must step aside now. He’s done. The Democratic Party needs to bring up the next gen of leaders, asap. We need new people to get into the party, as their future is on the line.

ab-114.bsky.social•32 days ago

Literally anyone else… Wyden, Murphy, Duckworth, Gallego. Schumer is soft and we need a brawler.
