Sure, but who? Who is a _feasible_ alternative that could/would mount opposition and gain enough support to have a chance? Some of the names bandied about are non-starters in the caucus.
Doc Brown @drjackbrown.bsky.social could tell us more about the body language in that 👆 picture. But it's obvious that Trump thinks Chuck is a joke. While Chuck thinks he's landing solid points. So much, in one picture.
Dems spend far too much time blaming themselves for everything. Chuck is just doing what Dems do. Just keep giving them the lunch money to avoid a fight. (Nobody gets hurt tight?)
Getting rid of Mitch McConnell years and year ago would have been the better option.
You’re looking at two people who belong no where near our levers of government. One never belonged there to begin with and the other one sadly is vastly overstaying his welcome.
Yes and if @aoc.bsky.social or @governorwalz.mn.gov were the senators of their states, they’d be better for rural America than the short sighted John Barrasso who is the stooge for Putin’s puppet
Schumer should be replaced, but not because of this vote.
Fetterman, is correct. We don’t have any advantage if the government shuts down. #GOP, who hate government would decide when it reopens, federal courts were closed down, no challenges.
But overall, he has not stood his (our) ground, must go 🇺🇸
Its not just schummer u fortunately. There is a group of folks who feel emboldened to decide whatever they want to despite the vast majority opposing it. This is the same group of folks who killed biden reelection bid and asked vp harris to win an election in 3 months.
Nobody did that to pressure Biden/Garland to take action on Trump and his elected insurrectionist for Biden's entire term. Nobody is going to take action now.
Well I'm not sure about the rest of you but that pic looks way too friendly for my liking . . . Advertisement in the want ads - new leader wanted, loyalty essential, and genuine representation of the people. Interviews will take place from next week!
Schumer stabbed Democracy and every hard working patriotic Dem in the back to capitulate to a Nazi and a felon. His grift now extends to a book sale and tour next week which he didn’t want to miss. I hope every bit of this vitriol he’s facing impacts his book release.
I will be burying this book when I see it in stores because I don’t want one single American parting with their hard earned money for a guy who cares more about earning profit as a politician than serving the people or fighting for Democracy.
Also-bloody-lutely. Schumer's a smuck, a coward, a grifter and piece of fetid shit. The rest of the world is watching waiting for America to stand up while the Democratic Minority Leader lays down for Fascism. Disgusting.
I've been saying this for a while. We also need new dynamic leadership in the HOUSE, too. Tired of the two pearl clutchers.

Yesterday Schumer could have said, “The president is on a mindless course of destruction and terror. All Americans are going to suffer under his violent rule. The GOP, who could moderate Mr Trump, has quit on the people. Democrats have not. But we will play no part in further empowering a madman.”
Schumer is too stupid to realize when his constituents and the rest of America come for him, Trump will do absolutely nothing because Schumer Is A Democrat. Schumer has forgotten about Mike Pence. Trump is setting all of them up to take the back lash.
I was trying to hold out hope that the Dems weren’t riddled with corruption. This proves otherwise. At least for 10 of them. I wonder what @schumer.senate.gov was promised in return for his loyalty.
I need an explanation before jumping on that bandwagon. A betrayal like this warrants demanding answers first.
I'd like to learn more why he flipped his vote so quickly & easily. Was there a threat involved? Something is not right here. A worthy project for an investigative reporter to delve into.
The picture simply suggests straightforward complicity if it's real. Democratic leaders may well be idealistically ideologically opposed to Trump but they're also the most vulnerable to corruption. They have lots of money. And money talks. Sadly.
These democrats will lead us to our deaths & they aren't going to wait till 2026 to hand us over to Trump. Schumer & others yesterday had protesters in their office arrested, they will do the same to the rest of us. They will not leave, they are part of Trumps takeover.
We need a list maintained of every single gle Democrat politician who betrays our morals, principles. And we need to make sure every single one of those names ends up doing what trump did, serving fries in a shitty fast food restaurant.
Dude looks like he's puckering up for a kiss. Who wants to bet that after the photo was taken, the grotesquely overweight orangutan pulled down his pants, and bent over, ready for schumers wrinkled, out of date, chapped up lips?
Why wait? I called my senators and left voicemails abt the need to ditch Schumer. Not comfortable talking to anyone directly yet but they do tally the call if you leave your name and address.
Leadership isn’t just about holding a title—it’s about fighting for the people you serve. If that fight isn’t happening, then yes, it’s time for a change.
Without a date stamp on this photo, I must opt to unfollow. I am a mother of two teenage sons growing up in today’s Texas in a digital world as I encourage them to hold on to integrity + transparency - I have to honor what I teach them to protect each brain and bias. They know their votes are 🎯’ed.
It's not going to happen, nor should it. It was not the right fight. A Gov't shutdown would not have been a win for Dems. You don't govern with emotions.
All of the democrat congressmen and senators come on MSMBC and cnn to talk about what trump said and history. They all talk about what maga wants to do but not one of them talks about what THEY ARE GOING TO DO TO FIGHT IT.
It absolutely is a 5 alarm fire. I have been trying to get people to understand since 2016. Our elected representatives keep telling us there’s a fire and they stand there watching it burn to the ground. We know there’s a fire we can feel the heat. They need to help put it out
Tried that, mine had so many death threats (he says) they gave up answering and turned off their voicemail!
Tillis he’s a POS anyways, now he’s running scared. Just like that Chief Orange Coward in the Oval Office!
Fuck yes. When the cuts begin guarantee Trump and Republicans will say Democrats could have stopped these ✂️ by just shutting down the government. Blame Democrats.

I am so sick of this bs... I'm so tired of letting these criminals run this country, I'm tired of politicians who should have been forced to step down long ago, TERM LIMITS AND REMOVAL OF MONEY MUST BE OUR PRIORITY! I want them to PAY for every soul they hurt or fd over in this country! NOW!
we should get Bernie Sanders in the job for now.. he speaks truth to power and he will stand up for what Democrats believe. Schumer is a disgrace. We need a Churchill not a Chamberlain..
I get why you might see it that way, but my post wasn’t about religion or ethnicity it was about Schumer’s political actions, which I believe betray Democratic values. but that doesn’t mean I’m antisemitic. I criticize politicians based on their actions
I agree, but the Dems are weak and scared so don’t hold your breath on them doing the right thing if it’s hard. There are a small number willing to fight, which is great but as a party I’m afraid they are done, unless they drastically change in the next week. Hint, don’t hold your breath
While I support replacing Schumer, I’m not convinced that his approach is wrong.
And it doesn’t mean anything to show a photo of them talking.
That’s what our Dem leaders are tasked with - knowing everyone, give and take, knowing the complexities of Wash, managing the many competing interests, etc.
BTW. What am I supposed to do about my Medicaid? I really do need healthcare. Had a stroke two years ago. You don't know me and yesterday you proved to me, without a shadow of a doubt, that you do NOT care. I WILL remember this.
Note: Senator Schumer launches his book tour on Mon., 3/17 in Baltimore at the Central Library. Hachette Book Group must be concerned in light of his controversial vote. Drama can fuel sales but it may backfire this time.

An official photo of him casting his vote.
Anyone working with the traitor and his flying monkeys doesn't belong in a Dem leadership position.
We need to call our Senators on Monday and demand they select a replacement for Schumer.

Time to go, Chuckie.
The duopoly is not your friend.
This sums it up.
The current Democratic leadership have shown themselves to be cowards who are not fit to govern.
Not one vote, not one thin dime, until leadership changes.
@chuckschumer.com
ASAP!!
🆘🆘🇺🇸🗽
He’s the reason senate investigations of trump over J6 never happened
And it doesn’t mean anything to show a photo of them talking.

Schumer is such a letdown.
