I believe this is the first elected Dem member of congress in the country to make this call. We get the party we demand.

Reposted from Cameron Joseph

Dem Rep. Glenn Ivey just called for Schumer to step aside-to big cheers from his constituents.

Ivey: "It may be time for the Senate Democrats to pick new leadership."

Did you see this? He doesn't get it. He thinks it is an image problem. He gave a nod to Bernie, but you aren't seeing many Dems talking to people. The Dems are part of the problem. It's not about the future of the Dems, it is about the future of the country.

It is time to #chuckChuck.

Any signficance that this is a Maryland congressman? Sen Van Hollen is really good on the issues.

Schumer needs to step down as minority leader. He has failed.

Chuck Schumer’s strategy for fighting Trump, GOP, and MAGA is to tweet and make speeches. He has lost the plot. He must step down as Democratic leader in the Senate.

My representative!! Thank you @ivey.house.gov 👏👏👏
I wasn’t at the town hall but other members of Indivisible Prince George’s County were there. I heard it was well-attended and contentious at moments…people are really angry and scared.

Thank you for speaking out for us. Schumer sure isn't. He comes off as dismissive to the voters. Saying one Wednesday, he was a no, and then Thursday was a yes. The trust is gone. He is no different than MAGA. Say one thing and then do something else.

HEAR ME OUT ON THIS: We need czars! The 💩 is being flung at us fast and furious! We can’t respond in any real way to everything all at once. We need groups to attack specific issues/crimes. A DOGE czar, a DEI czar, an immigration czar, a Ukraine czar (no offense). You get my meaning?

What senator would be better for this moment in time, @ezralevin.bsky.social ?

ezralevin.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Frankly, I think just about any Dem under 65 would bring sense of change and enthusiasm. I might have my prefences, but my most strongly held belief here is that when the Dem Party has a 21% approval rating, we can't fix that with some instagram videos and poll-tested messaging.

snake-lloyd-wright.bsky.social•1 hour ago

It doesn’t matter who it is. The important thing is that the next guy knows that if they get steamrolled, roll over or collaborate then they are out. These people work for us. Introduce them to the concept of accountability.

It's not just a new Minority Leader. He needs to be primaried or not run again along with the other 9.

We need fighters and not do nothings who are living in a preTrump world.

We need relatable candidates, and Schumer isn't it. He throws us under the bus and planned to go on his book tour.

krystalholm.bsky.social•3 hours ago

I've been calling Schumers office every day for weeks to tell him he needs to step down. He doesn't have what it takes to lead in this moment.

You are distracting from the real issue. Get Trump Elon out if we can. Real like you and all your work. Now not time for this.

How are they going to get them out when Schumer refuses to fight them? He’s doing exactly what the republicans want him to do.

Schumer's weakness is distracting from the real issue. He should get out of the way for someone we can get behind.

daisyanne.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Seems like he replaced his book tour with a media excuse
tour which is showing just how out of touch he is .

thesecretbarn.bsky.social•3 hours ago

It's not a distraction, it's an impediment. He deliberately threw away all our leverage in the moment in exchange for avoiding conflict.

mateahan.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Reality. He’s not going to go anywhere. Remove a dem leader now?

mateahan.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Dems are making head way in red states. Let Trump DOGE changes take hold. We are in the beginning. Red states seeing the changes. Not in a good way. Reality is we need to get some of Trump voters.

bioturbonick.net•2 hours ago

LOL.

Hope isn't a plan.

And no, we don't need Trump voters. We need the Dem voters who sat out 2024 to come back.

gingerzap.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Can we also talk about Gillibrand for a bit? She just joined the appropriations committee in January, and then turned around and voted for the CR, which took away a lot of the Senate’s power to determine how federal dollars are spent. She doesn’t deserve to be in that committee.

galfrompa.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Ok. Chuck Schumer HAS to go. He just made it clear ( on Chris Hayes) that he does NOT understand the perilous state of democracy RIGHT NOW. He stated it may be a crisis later…. He’s too old and waay out of touch. Jeezus, Chuck what’s wrong with you?

nancyhicks.bsky.social•2 hours ago

As a NYer & as someone who is the same age as Schumer, I agree with you 100%.

galfrompa.bsky.social•2 hours ago

To clarify when I say old and out of touch I don’t mean his physical age.. I mean old way of thinking he thinks it’s “ the good old days” that there’s comity in politics, that there’s really a chance MAGA will be bipartisan. That it’ll “ all work out”. That’s gone. They are not coming back from MAGA

Why are no other senators calling for him to step down? Did the democrats not learn from the Biden disaster what happens when you put loyalty for one person over loyalty to the country??

Democrats: Start contacting your Senators and Representatives!

invinaveritas.bsky.social•3 hours ago

And yet he doesn't call for it, he says "maybe". I am sick and fucking tired of the media and elected officials qualifying every thing they say with maybes and possibly's and seems and apparently's and it-appears. It either is or it isn't, have the balls to speak a direct clear sentence.

snake-lloyd-wright.bsky.social•1 hour ago

It’s unbelievable to me. Does he want to be leader? He can! Schumer is dangling by a thread. Take it from him! Why aren’t the knives out? Where is the ambition? This party needs some Machiavellian psychopaths bc all I see is a bunch of model UN nerds.

mrbrooklynite.bsky.social•3 hours ago

It is past time in my opinion. The democrats for decades have been saying the good words and following through on non of it only if it makes someone money thats when we get chips infrastructure but i know there are state donors that need they palm greased. Let the old be retired.

If the govt had shut down, Elon would have gone in and taken down every part of the govt they wanted to including Medicaid, Medicare and others. I found out that if they would have shut down the govt, the judge who did what he did today with USAID would not have been able to happen.

Sometimes you only have 2 crappy choices and you have to pick the best shitty choice which is what Sen Schumer did. I stand with Sen. Schumer.

lucyksy.bsky.social•3 hours ago

What is so hard to understand is how he sticking to his misguided belief that he did the right thing. He was right and all the rest, both in the Democrats and everyone else who wanted a no vote was wrong. And that he got nothing for his vote or did he?

findingtangle.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Not exactly a call to step aside but not an endorsement either. The direct Biden parallel was something:
