Maybe Schumer was right. Maybe his choice was the lesser of two evils. Let’s find out before gathering the pitchforks. Let’s stop all this backbiting and infighting and focus on fighting Trump. 2/2

People are asking for him to be removed from leadership, not arrested. Right or wrong (he was wrong) he did not display leadership that inspired confidence, either among elected members of the Dem party or us, the voters. He needs to go.

nachyocheese.bsky.social•1 day ago

Doing the right thing in the face of adversity is leadership.

And last night proved that Schumer was right. Because the government stayed open we were able to block Trump's attempt to illegally use the alien enemies act within hours - the planes were ordered to return before they landed.

nachyocheese.bsky.social•1 day ago

This was a massive win and it wouldn't have happened without Dems backing the CR.

This is the longterm distopian 1% game plan. This is no conspiracy theory. It’s happening right now and it’s horrifying.

What they didn’t account for is the level of opposition they’d get from the people, state AGs, and civil rights groups. Judges are responding faster and faster with each lawsuit too.

Also everybody hates Vance.

bri415an.bsky.social•1 day ago

Unfortunately the SCOTUS decision in Trump v. USA gave Felon47 presidential immunity (which he brazenly thanked Roberts for on national TV at SOTU 🤬🤮), so they are just going to continue to ignore the courts- especially now that they’ve neutered DOJ.

We are focusing on those problems. And we need real leaders that can rise to the occasion. The sign of a good leader is knowing when to step down. Now is that time for Chuck Schumer.

If Schumer hadn't kept the government open we would have no courts to keep Musk and Trump in check.

This would not have been blocked.

Indivisibles across the nation are organizing furiously to fight back. That’s where they want to focus. Yesterday, Sen. Schumer gravely undermined their work. After weeks of constituents demanding Democrats use this precious point of leverage on the government funding bill, Schumer did the opposite.

Trump can do much more harm with the government closed.

joaniejg.bsky.social•2 days ago

I agree with you. I think Schumer made the right decision. It was a bad situation with no good options.

indivisible.org•2 days ago

Schumer led the charge to wave the white flag of surrender. But we have no intention of surrendering to Trump, Musk, and congressional Republicans.

This is why today, we called two emergency meetings of Indivisible group leaders for groups in New York, and for the 1,600 local groups nationwide.

indivisible.org•2 days ago

In a vote, the two groups gave us clear direction: 82% of group leaders in New York and 91% of Indivisible group leaders nationwide voted to call for Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. Accordingly, we are calling for Chuck Schumer to step down from Senate Democratic leadership.

indivisible.org•2 days ago

We thank Sen. Schumer for his service, but we need new leadership in this moment and we understand to get there we need a chorus of support for change.

This is a painful decision, the gravity of which we take very seriously.

Sen. Schumer has contributed to and led many important accomplishments that Indivisible is grateful for. But with our democracy on the line, he let us, the country, and the Democratic Party down.

We organize local activists in communities in every state in the country — regular people dedicating themselves to opposing Trumpism and preserving the promise of a functioning democracy. And they deserve a Democratic party, and leadership of that party, who is willing to fight as hard as they are.

It’s fleetingly painful, if at all. His EGO & that of the other NINE make no room for the thinking, decisions, & work to be done. Gone are the days of Tip O’Neill & Ted Kennedy.

I think your group should also ask people to contact their Democratic Senators and House Reps to tell to Schumer step aside. Pelosi had a tough talk with Biden because she didn't think he could beat Trump. The same needs to be done with Schumer. Pressure from the public and other Dems is needed.
