I have to disagree. To me it would be a great sign of humility solidarity with the American people and I would welcome it

elmer78.bsky.social•18 days ago

Oh, please, please, please. Very few of these folks understand that they have stayed too long at the party. Time to say night night.

mandoqueer.itch.io•18 days ago

their own constituents and also the entire House Democratic caucus
like, not even the useless centrist Dems we like to complain about are happy with Schumer right now it's great.

smallstories.bsky.social•18 days ago

My fury obstructs the humor. fuck all of them.

jess-murray.bsky.social•18 days ago

And for ppl. in states with Senators not opposed to the budget plan yet, not too late to burn up their phone lines...

Let AOC run everything.

dustinheron.bsky.social•18 days ago

Bullying work 🙏

actuallymossman.bsky.social•18 days ago

Not funny, seriously required

Every boomer dumbass in the Senate and their enablers are getting primaried, enough of the BS with the clownshow

oggreeb.bsky.social•18 days ago

Please oh please AOC primary Schumer, *if* there’s still an election. Meanwhile the D senators worth a damn need to jam the proceedings tomorrow, and I don’t care if it hurts the other’s fee-fees. The R’s and Trump/Musk admin are going to smash regardless, so “let’s roll” to quote some heroes.

ilisette.bsky.social•18 days ago

I do not agree with all of AOC’s stances, but she embodies the new blood we need in Congress. She fights for her constituents, is not readily cowed, and recognizes the crisis we now are in. I once supported Schumer, but no more if he votes yes.

mrdickpound69.bsky.social•18 days ago

what stances do you disagree with?

It’s necessary work.
We are furious. Feckless Schumer has proven to everyone that he must step down NOW, so a real fighter can step in fast. Congresswoman AOC should primary him. She is 💯%🔥, a proven, effective leader.

terrrrrible.bsky.social•18 days ago

Would be a funny way to break away from the two-party system if in a world they actually do split over time. Have “left” “center-left” “center-right” “right” parties, primary ‘em all.

mideerjo.bsky.social•18 days ago

Look, they keep saying "we hear you, were listening" and this would be a great way to prove it.

tunibell.bsky.social•18 days ago

I will take a second job to help fund her takeover of the Democratic Party.

derek70.bsky.social•18 days ago

Hell yes, AOC, primary that complicit [REDACTED].

chimasimone.bsky.social•18 days ago

And necessary!

kelpkelpkelp.bsky.social•18 days ago

Getting wrecked by every single Dem on the planet, elected or not, who isn't a sitting Senator.

ericallyn.bsky.social•18 days ago

It would be pretty funny, but it'd also be encouraging.

plabg.bsky.social•18 days ago

I think it would be appalling...

jj301.bsky.social•18 days ago

I don't know if it's a good indication or the worst indication but Schumer has 10 listed phone numbers and NOT ONE OF THEM is operable right now. For real, look:

AOC is meeting this moment and she's doing it while allowing them respectfully change course.

Tapper set her up to insult Schumer, she did not. She politely asked that he evaluate his bullshit.

I hope he takes the evening to do so.

kat-thyme.bsky.social•18 days ago

New Senate leadership, please!
The House Dems were united.

sarcastickitty.bsky.social•18 days ago

Would be great but I have zero faith that they'll do the right thing.

trentevans.bsky.social•18 days ago

Please God yes. This is the face of fecklessness. In Russian, his name is Чак Шумер

arkayne242.bsky.social•18 days ago

mdasilva.bsky.social•18 days ago

It’s not good enough. Schumer needs to resign from leadership.

lobolyriam.bsky.social•18 days ago

Time for AOC to primary Schumer.

katinthesoup.bsky.social•18 days ago

We don’t need Vichy Democrats!

tetemols.bsky.social•18 days ago

Good.

jacksonmcbride.bsky.social•18 days ago

Good. There is nothing to lose. Schumer - a good and decent man - and establishment Dems are not meant for this moment.

I’m a moderate. Now I will only support very progressive fighters with money and time.
