Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Senator Chuck Schumer's support of a Republican bill to fund the government through Sept. 30, accusing him of ceding what little power Democrats had over President Trump.

Man who has been in charge for a decade and has overseen working-class policies being ripped out of every piece of legislation that runs through his chamber also enjoys giving his Wall St donor buddies a cut from the Trump budget. That’s just called being a neoliberal!
This all could have been done five years ago, but Democratic rank and file are afraid of challenging leadership. Shame. And what is Jay Jacobs still doing as head of New York Dems? Jesus Christ, this party.
#ChamberlainChuck needs to resign from leadership and the Senate as a whole. The other 9 fascist apologists can join him especially that bald brain damaged hoodie wearing clown.
People should support AOC over Chuck.. Chuck is a lame duck old times with not enough gas in the tank to put up any sort of fight.. he’s a gutless loser…
Dems are going to the dump if you continue to have Chuck lead you…
WHY IS THE ENTIRE WORLD ALLOWING TRUMP AND PUTIN TO LEAD AND BULLY?! STOP THEM!!! GIVE US ALL AN EFFIN BREAK?! ANYONE?!!! SHAME ON US ALL FOR ALLOWING TWO MEN TO DO THIS! LEADERS WHERE ARE YOU?’
American #democrats have the same characteristics, ideology and ability to betray as the left in #France.
In reality, the history has shown us this for 40 years, the Democrats have been the antechamber of the Republicans.
When AOC has the EXPERIENCE that Schumer does-she can scream and yell. I still think Schumer's 'Sophies Choice' decision was the right one if Trump really could have kept the gov't shut down for weeks or months!
What of his reason for doing it? Is it true there would be no legal recourse for trump if the govt shut down? He's clearly going to break as many laws as he wants to. Shouldn't we maintain a route to take him to court for it? Or is that not true?
Exactly when AOC should run against him. We will need a strong Dem senator as the despot's regime comes to an end, and cleanup must begin. It can't happen soon enough. Dems can't afford weakness or vascillation now or ever.
It's rock and hard place kinda situation. Whichever way #Mc'felon er, the President would have used to his advantage ...only time will tell, which way dice is loaded.Democrats should pull up their socks and repudiate republican shenanigans!
it's been almost 10 yrs of dealing w/ trump & dems can't figure out how to be an opposition party. this leads me to believe they agree w/ what is going on. they've fought against AOC & Bernie harder than they've fought against any republican.
At least someone in the Dem party is fighting for us. Thank you @aoc.bsky.social and fuck you @schumer.senate.gov and everyone who voted for CR. You’re dinosaurs. Get out of the way. #voteschumerout
So the message should have been that the Fed Govt Bureaucracy is so important that it needs to be shut down? The MAGAts want the federal govt to be shut down. Not sure how doing it for them is somehow a win.
No matter which of the choices the Dems make, they lose. They will either enable Trump and Musk to swing the wrecking ball against the structures of our democracy or they will shut down the government. So it's either tear down or shut down. Lose, lose. Anybody for some good old-fashioned praying?
100% agree with AOC. Senator Schumer led with fear. These people are gutting people’s lives and you enable them? He could have forced some negotiation. At least try!!!! I’m disillusioned.
"And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds; are immune to your consultations, they are quite aware of what they are going through."
Agreed. Time for Schumer to retire his seat and allow young blood ready to fight for the working class, not just the retired class. AOC for his Senate seat since it's the same district. Logical choice!
I see your reasoning clearly, but there are issues with this. One, you are talking into account that by the time he’s “tired,” he would be vulnerable, perhaps, or perhaps not. He might have changed the whole rules of the “fight.” Second, he has people in all parts of the spectrum, media, 1%, etc
I understand Chucks argument though. I don’t like it, but there are side-effects to voting no that we won’t like down the line, like more power to Trump to firing people.
I think we’re over a barrel here.
Leave chuck, you are no longer a fighter. You’ve become old tired and useless. You only want money and the hell with fighting for the democracy. You are now DINO. DEMOCRAT IN NAME ONLY. 😡.

Someone who can only repeat, "Duh, Business Bad, Proletariat good", is certainly not qualified.
In any case, I salute the Bolsheviks and the new Lenin. Here's lookin at you @aoc.bsky.social.
You’re the one who going to get wiped out
Those who know Trump should be resisted at all costs, and those who don't deserve to live in a democracy, anyway.

Dems are losers under a Chuck !
In reality, the history has shown us this for 40 years, the Democrats have been the antechamber of the Republicans.
That would have been a much worse disaster.
At least she has the Balls to fight
Remarkably little factional arguing in the ranks
If you are a Christian and you support cutting healthcare for poor people, you really need to re-read the Bible.
