Yeah this is what I’d say. I don’t think you can in conscience vote yes on cloture knowing that amounts to singing off an anti-constitutional putsch. And but it’s also the case a shutdown is risky and could be bad! But what grown up politicians should do is publicly, transparently communicate this.

And really, if that's your case for a "yes" vote, make it. Make it publicly. None of this Schumer "three losses add up to a win" bullshit.
The Dem base wants a fight, but they also want honesty.

Betraying the country by helping them seems like treason to me
What is the point of a legislative body if the executive just ignores laws?
Just retire if that's how you're going to act.
The dems are weak, they are not prepared for the authoritarian actions being taken by this president and his thugs.
America you need to wake the fuck up now!
The future is ours to seize. Welcome to Part 2 of 2028:A Battle for the Future.
8 key calls to action!

Stiffen your spine and VOTE NO to fascists
All he'll do is accelerate it.

I stand with Dems most of the time. They are flawed. Most politicians are too focused on keeping their positions. But at least Dems promote better policies.
But it's time to fight, not dither.
Love, The People you work for
RESIST!
2 can play this game. No more donations to ANY Dem campaigns/causes until a vote of No Confidence is issued against Chuck Schumer. The power of the purse cuts both ways.
F***g usless.
He gets wrapped up in ideologic bullsh1t.
Get Crocket, Swalwell, Schiff, Padilla, Murphy, etc. to deliver the message and carry the political water on this.
Vote NO on Cloture and
Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Not a penny in cuts to social services if ANY tax cuts are on the table.
destruction of the principles & greatness of r country by not allowing even more power 2 b given 2 grifting Pres & unelected billionaire. This is stand I take 2
protect democracy & country I love
Passage is the lesser of 2 evils
Passage bad
No Passage = Shutdown & no control at all on the TRAITORS
They'll have free rein
NO COURTS
Perhaps complete destruction of America
WHAT TO DO ?
Public recall of
r legislators ?
So they take consultants advice to let Trump walk all over them for fear of being "blamed" if they stand up for democracy
Democrats- Shooting themselves in the foot while doing the wrong thing. This is Schumerism
What page are we on today? AND, can I just read the Cliff Notes.
All that is require for fascists to take over is for good people to walk along..
Why don’t you wear a suit you disrespectful traitor
1) resign
2) protest until arrested or worse
3) become collaborators
Lots of people choosing #3
😬🦠😷💉💉💉💉💉💉💉🇨🇦🏴🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Gone are the days of bipartisan policy
Reaching across the aisle to appease Republicans' destruction of America will only cause them to take another step to the Far Right and say, "Nah nah nah nah nah now what you suckers"
So, if you vote for this, be ready to feel ALL of the SHAME that the GOP will not feel in the least!
