He is right.

fsquirrels.bsky.social•5 days ago

If they could go ahead and un-walk that back. . . That would be great.

littlenomad.bsky.social•5 days ago

Would like to hear more.

heiz16.bsky.social•5 days ago

No. This is the right move.

greased7.bsky.social•5 days ago

He was right

youtackything.bsky.social•5 days ago

They're getting our messages, I see!

liam-hughes.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s time to go, Chuck.

Schumer is not a wartime consigliere

whimsywriter.bsky.social•5 days ago

That is what Democrats do. Walk it back and bend the knee.

mikeferguson5150.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh, for god’s sake. Stop tiptoeing around everything and cowboy up already. This is ridiculous

toedrifter.bsky.social•5 days ago

An example of the slow realization they are having. Schumer is obviously no longer viable but he will hang on a while like Biden after the debate.

Chuck the garbage

themadstatist.bsky.social•5 days ago

A bunch of spineless, feckless cowards.

halifaxrunner.bsky.social•5 days ago

Whew, that was close. He was almost courageous. He must have been terrified.

gordonvincent.bsky.social•5 days ago

Cowardice is a stinky cologne.

@warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov wake up and prepare to #ToppleSchumer the people are speaking. Do you not see the signals?

contentsoul.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why? Dems needed new leadership four years ago.

ootek.bsky.social•5 days ago

The absolute worst thing about cloture is it will give the patina of normalcy.

shanste.bsky.social•5 days ago

and make the move bi-partisan if any dems join in. Fetterman can go and hold hands with Manchin and Sinema.

logantomaz.bsky.social•5 days ago

Classic "testing the waters" move.

I mean the problem is Senate Dems have to remove Schumer now. You cant have a leader this out of step with your party. Schumer put every incumbent Dem up in 2026 at risk to be primaried if they don't remove Schumer now

bluememe.bsky.social•5 days ago

Here’s the question: is Schumer truly out of step with his caucus, or is this all kabuki?

This way, the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party gets to perform (ineffective) resistance without actually inconveniencing the moderates.

junggiebrogen.bsky.social•4 days ago

The Dems who voted with Schumer are the ones who drew the short sticks and are “safe”. Likely all Dems are are okay with Schumers game or cowards

luckybastard77.bsky.social•5 days ago

All going how Schumer drew it out.

infinitelyloopy.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don't know how Schumer survives this. If cloture fails, he clearly has to resign. If it succeeds, the amount of animus he has engendered makes his continued role untenable.

julstrangepork.bsky.social•5 days ago

Warnock performance. He and Ossaff tag teamed voting to confirm Trump nominees or not voting.

I haven't updated my records but last I checked Ossoff was 2nd to Fetterman for skipping voting.
