I was generally against their supporting this CR, but having now read more about it, I am even more against it. Dems had some measure of power here and threw it away... They got nothing, and we continue to get screwed.

Can he/she be an Independent? Chuck Schumer betrayed the American people when he sided with Trump. Democrats should demand he step down and replace him with Bernie Sanders. I think Bernie could marshal enough American voters to oust Trump.

I mean, my Democratic Senator is John Fetterman, so there's that. I will primary Fetterman in 2028 if no one else steps up. I really will. I know my avatar is cute, but I am seething with rage.

I wish I had a Democratic Senator. I live in TN. Schumer,
et al, are not the bad guys. I heard their explanations. There were downsides to whatever they did. (There always will be in dealing with Conservatives.) Calling them betrayers is an overkill and playing into the

Is it possible to participate if you live in a red state? I do a lot of GOTV for Congressional candidates in battleground states.

He has not unified the party and stood up to Trump. Let’s make room for another to be a strong leader.

betterdays331.bsky.social•2 days ago

Schumer & the dirty 9 who followed him heard us loud & clear NO & they chose 2 ignore us. There is no spin 2 what they did they chose the oligarchs over the voters.

Hey, the Democrats need to watch all the old and newest movie of the gladiator. They All are good book smart people, but none of them have fighting street sense.JD grew up in the hills and has that fighting in him . And then Putin added Ivy League edu to that . Dems need a maximus. SOON

kfsdaniels.bsky.social•2 days ago

Bowman/Hamal/Vance did not grow up in the hills. He grew up in the exburbs of Cincinnati, OH. Less that 30 miles from the city.

maryc235.bsky.social•2 days ago

if you expected me not to reply, 1St of all,I did (not)mention Bowman/Hamal. Which is the1st cue you are working for PUTIN/CHINA.Unfortunately his mom was a drug addict.God Bl her . He was lucky to get out of what he got out of,got into the military and then get sucked up by Putin.UR A PIECE OF SHIT

kfsdaniels.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh goodness, you can get mean! JD Vance is not to be admired. So, I disagree with you. Bowman/Hamel/Vance had a pretty good life. His grandfather was in a Union and had a good retirement pension because he was in the union. JD took advantage of government handouts, but denies others the same.

nancy0317.bsky.social•1 day ago

I can’t reach out to my Senator-I live in a red state so he is a 💩. This is the where I can state that I want @schumer.senate.gov to STEP DOWN IMMEDIATELY. If he does not, the Senate must remove him and replace him with someone that has COURAGE TO BE THE LEADER.

rnretired22.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wrote my sens (who voted NO) Schumer is both tone deaf and cowardly in failing to meet the moment. I have canceled all ActBlue and DNCC donations until he is removed. Chris Murphy for Minority Leader. Can't wait for old guy to figure out our new reality. "Listen to the women" Pelosi.

The democrats need to replace Schumer with a fighter! It's time for the younger Senators to step up and lead the democrats with a new strategy!

heidi-olson.bsky.social•1 day ago

When is the Democratic Party going to get their act together?! It's time for the party to reimagine itself and it's become clear that in order to do that, we need new voices and new perspectives. The legacy leadership brought us here, time for a change!

donwood.bsky.social•1 day ago

Called Booker and Kim early that day to ask them to vote no and later to ask them to demand Schumer step down.
Very hard to remain professional on the second calls. Just found my voice raising in volume.
And now a book tour ffs.

Maybe it's implicit, but we also need Dick Durbin -- the 2nd ranking Dem senator -- to resign. Replacing Schumer with Durbin would not be any change at all (and might even be worse).

There were lots of talented people in England in 1939. What they needed was a Churchill. And they got him. Who will be our Churchill? We are at that point.

badnewsbjorn.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am sorry, folks, but as far as political acumen goes, this suggests that your grasp exceeds your reach. So much for "indivisible," eh? Indivisible can be a force for bringing people on the left together to fight the move towards autocracy--it should not use its influence to divide the left.

trinityvz.bsky.social•2 days ago

I do agree though, for some reason the Democratic Party needs to find the right messaging for all these intellectually lazy Americans.

trinityvz.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you want to be mad, be mad at King and Shaheen who prevented the horrible CR from being placed solely in the hands of the Republicans.
At the rate POTUS / CO-POTUS are going, shutting down the gov't just speeds up their efforts. Why would we want to do that?

blogforiowa.bsky.social•2 days ago

This has been my question.The refrain from our side has been if you do not support allowing gov shutdown you are a coward. But it seems there was no path to victory after cloture. I saw no answer to the question how do we get gov. back from a party that wants to destroy it? Where was the leverage?

by-mhrudolph.bsky.social•1 day ago

Or we could do our work and trust that the senators will sort out their leadership issues. They all heard from us last week and can be in no doubt about our views. But we won't get this day back -- not organizing, not building networks today is a mistake.

brayloudly.bsky.social•2 days ago

Done!

bocckob.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sure, rotate the heads around so we get a fresh face to lie to us and continue doing nothing.

An insurrectionist is in the White House actively dismantling the government. Every senator and representative supporting that bill committed treason by aiding it.

Resign or be impeached, bare minimum.

ashely95.bsky.social•1 day ago

And its important to note that we should be fighting, having solidarity and opposing on a daily basis because both Democratic and Republican parties have become so out of touch throughout the last few years and fascism, authoritarianism and bullying/harassament is rising and we need to be on alert.🔔

barbyblu.bsky.social•1 day ago

Been saying this for years. Not sure how he was picked to be leader never made sense.

dougshortridge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Schumer did the right thing. This is a Fascist coup taking place. Fascism = Political Gangsterism. If you have no personal or professional experience with real-life gangsterism then you need to imagine more. Here: CR is to knife as Shutdown is to gun. Which would you rather in reach when cornered?

mellongraig.bsky.social•20 hours ago

I would also call federal House Dem leaders, especially New York House Dems and ask them to demand that Schumer step aside. We also need to call State Assembly and State Senate New York Dems as well.

New Yorkers need to speak up.

And if he doesn't step aside, push for a vote of no confidence.

basiccitygirl.bsky.social•2 days ago

NOT THE TIME FOR INFIGHTING GUYS.

philipvernon.bsky.social•2 days ago

THAT is the perennial refrain.

When is the time?

Avoiding “infighting” is how we got here.

gingerzap.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Maybe tell that to Schumer then? He went against all but one in the House and 80% of the Dem senators, after saying the opposite the day before. We can’t properly fight Trump without competent leadership. He’s not it.

gingerzap.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Also, Republicans went through a laundry list of leaders that couldn’t keep that role not long ago. Guess what, they still won. Getting our house in order is absolutely needed right now. Dems won’t raise money until people trust them again.

basiccitygirl.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Agree. AOC may primary him.

gingerzap.bsky.social•23 hours ago

And that would be fantastic but that’s 4 years away… there are senators with more leadership skills right now. Chris Murphy, Elizabeth Warren come to mind.

basiccitygirl.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Whitehouse, Kelly, Klobachar . . . but Wall St. donors own Chuck so doubt they will let a change happen.

myurbanlife.bsky.social•1 day ago

There should be away to tell my senator ( Durbin) in the same email that he needs to join schumer in resigning.
