When you have bully who tells his cult "I am your retribution", you fight bully, you don't pray you won't be target of his retribution. Because he's going to target every single group he sees as weak and not kneeling to him. If you want to keep your dignity, fight this.
When you have a bully forcing you to choose which of your kids he's going to beat up, you fight the bully, no matter how scary he looks, you don't go see which kids you want to offer up. Because the bully is going to beat them all up. He's just toying with you psychologically.
Jefferies & Schumer are negotiators they're not up to the challenge to stand against GOP bullies. We need someone with the quiet strength of Biden; the intelligence and speaking ability of Buttigieg, Harris and Crockett & the experience of Schiff and Raskin. Bernie Sanders should be Speaker!
I prefer Bernie as an independent but if they make him minority leader who cares, it'd give some life & fight into the democratic party. Look at his Fight Oligarchy tour 🔥🔥🔥 The DNC is a corporate-billionaire-lobbyist aligned republican-light entity which us where the blue MAGA virus comes from
If you’d like to see Senator Schumer up close in person and let him know what you think about his terrible, horrible decision, join him on his book tour. Don’t buy his book!
If you’re angry, direct that anger at the shitstain who’s earned it. Reach out to Shoesucker at https://schumer.senate.gov and tell him EVERYTHING you’re thinking about him right now.
My message to him: I am outraged by your vote today on the continuing resolution. No justification can excuse this decision, and the fact that Donald Trump publicly thanked you speaks volumes.
This action was a betrayal of the values you claim to uphold, and it demonstrates a complete failure of leadership at a critical moment. I have lost confidence in your ability to lead, and I demand that you step down.
Our country needs strong, principled leadership, not decisions that enable those who threaten democracy. Your actions today were unacceptable, and I will not forget them.
He's a symptom, a pawn of the blue MAGA corporate-billionaire-lobbyist DNC cesspool. The virus spreads from the top down & the 2 party system has officially crumbled. The party's sole purpose seems to be to suppress & scapegoat actual progressives. Let that anger penetrate upward but yes Chuck too
It’s time to stop all donations also! There are many good Democrats but as long as there are collaborators, nothing will get done! I have donated to Democrats all over the country for 40+ years and for what?! Definitely not this Bullshit!! NOT ANOTHER PENNY FROM ME!!
It's like the "America" inside is my spirit that's free, independent, brave, empathetic, compassionate, & tolerant but the "America" outside is fear, h8, insidious, intolerant... it's crawling on the surface and it's uncomfortable under my own skin.
Yup. You don’t hand over your lunch money to a bully. You STAND UP AND PUNCH HIM IN THE NOSE.🤬 Schumer and his 9 complicit losers literally just gave away our lunch money. The time for a new Democratic leadership in the Senate is right now.
I'm convinced that dems have a mole. I'm convinced that Schumer is the mole. He needs ta go. Not just be replaced in his position but out of government or just register as a Republican already.
It's a top down problem. They are simply pawns, symptoms of the corporate lobbiest billionaire-aligned DNC. The duopoly has officially collapsed. The average Joe dem seems in denial but it's a red line in the sand for many of us. The party aligns with far-right fascism than actual progressives.
The strength of Democrats is in the House! They all took a stand of NO except one I believe. Thank God for Rep Al Green, Rep Crockett, Rep AOC, and Minority Speaker Jeffries. I heard Minority Leader Chuck Schumer rationale on supporting CR. Does he & the Senators who voted. Trump does what he wants!
Declaring oneself the ‘head law enforcement officer’ while directing the DOJ to punish enemies isn’t leadership—it’s authoritarianism. The justice system must remain independent, not a tool for vengeance. When the law bows to power, democracy crumbles. We should all be alarmed. 🌗✨ #Resist
I’m just so fucking… confused, exhausted, angry, immobilized, empathetic, sad, stunned, gut punched, afraid, not afraid… and ready to fight back with everything I have in my being. Who do I listen to on my side? Let me know.
The duopoly has officially collapsed. Bernie is independent and needs to own it. His Fight Oligarchy has major grassroots energy and people trust him. We just need him though as a senator but what good is it doing when you got blue MAGA republican-light DNC pawns who will override him anyway.
We need to redefine the word "fight." I've been in a lot of fights in my day, and this isn't fighting. This is complaining and hoping it makes a difference. When people want to bring Republicans an actual fight, I'm totally in.
Check out Bernie's Fight Oligarchy tour. Thousands of people are showing up & with huge grassroots energy. My point is people want to organize into a bigger movement & have someone to follow. Bernie would bring huge momentum to that if his wings weren't clipped by the Blue MAGA DNC. Dems won't
embrace mass strikes & shutdowns and work with the organizations trying to organize these real forms of resistance, which is what you're getting at. To the mainstream democrat such actions are too left yet.. that's what greens and real progressives do.. not establishment dems.
And what about people like us in New York who have traitorous democratic senators? Who's going to come talk to us, because they're certainly not. We can barely get them to leave their phones on. Oh I know! Send us Tim Walz. I could use a good pep talk right about now, and he's on 🔥!
Chuck Schumer is part of the old old generation (I'm 83 years old) and they don't have a stake in the future (except Bernie). The younger generations will have to face Climate Destruction and the American Fascistic Cult. Remove Schumer, he doesn't know when to quit and retire.
Has anybody heard of CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK & HARD PLACE, or NO WIN SITUATION. This fight wasn't the right 1. But Schumer and everybody else better no the message, strategy & the consequences of inaction.
Schumer did this:Judith Karcher

After further research, I now have a better understanding of what @schumer.senate.gov did. I now agree that he made the better choice by avoiding a shutdown.
This thread provides an excellent, detailed explanation:
Thanks for your interesting reference giving a different perspective on Schumer’s intentions. Did they avoid a trap or fall into a trap… I’m still not sure. I do know that respected Dems from the House were dead set against what happened. My knowledge is fairly limited.
You're welcome. I was very confused & upset at first after the CR vote. Fortunately, I stumbled upon the brilliant thread by @zenfinance.bsky.social , and my understanding shifted. I suspect @schumer.senate.gov only came to this understanding shortly before the vote.
History keeps hitting replay, and somehow, we’re still shocked. America is speedrunning its way into fascism, ignoring every warning, repeating every mistake. Wake up, or watch democracy become a relic!!!!!
#trump #elon #fascism #America #wakeup #dem
Scared Shitless Schumer’s surrender made it apparent to me that supporting the Democratic Party any longer is a lost cause! I have donated and voted Democrat for 40+ years! Not one more penny nor a vote from me as long as there are collaborators in their midst!!!

Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Gillibrand, Hassan, King, Peters, Schatz, Schumer, Shaheen,
VOTED for CLOTURE.
ONLY Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Independant Senator Angus King of Maine VOTED to PASS the H.R. 1968, the Continuing Resolution Bill.
AOC is in and the Schumer Dems are out!! Schumer and his cohorts cowered to a felon and are traitors. Schumer has no self respect after he let the felon criticize his Jewish heritage. Shame Chuck.You can join Rubio and on Cruz and all the others that the felon ridiculed. Unbelievable. You should out
They don't care. He's worth $81M. Being in Congress is a "self-enrichment" tour, now, and these traitorous mofos are gonna hurt if WE hurt. They can count on it. Schumer can kiss my American ASS!
And I'm sure HE has people HE cares about, just like we do, right? THAT'S where we hit the mark. He just declared war on the American people; passing the buck to "hopefully being able to fight Trump in COURT. JFC! All standards of "propriety and law-abiding citizenry" are now "debatable."
Chuck Schumer has a book tour starting next week. It sure would be a shame if there was a protest at every stop. We also need to boycott buying the book.
Fuck You Schumer. Better to force republicans to come to the table sooner rather than fund the dismantling of our government and be forced fed Christo-fascism. What a disgrace.
Schumer stepped right up and happily accepted his title as Biggest Dickhole in the Senate. I didn't think it was possible to wrestle that title away from Mitch McConnell
True but he's just a symptom, a pawn, a puppet of the blue MAGA, republican-light, corporate-billionaire-lobbyist DNC. The virus comes from the top. Dems are in denial but the two party system has officially collapsed. We need more options than pigs & pigs with lipstick. The dems are a scam.
This morning I was "Schumer, WTAF, why would you do that", then I listened to Schumer's reasoning and now I'm "fuck, he just averted a disaster for America". What is the only thing currently stopping Trump? What would a shutdown do to that?
So which senator is leader enough to call for Schumer to step down as leader of the minority in the senate & be replaced? This needs to happen now. Schumer showed who he is today & he's not on the side of the people. He stood with fascists. Time for him to go! #replaceschumer #stepdownschumer
What democrats NEED is to quit bagging on each other and MAKE THE GOP OWN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, It is ALL ON THEM NOW. They got their budget and EVERYTHING is on them now. Dems NEED to shove it in their faces and down their throats.
They won’t do that. Dems will bend over and take it, and then go about wringing their hands. I no longer pay attention to anything they do and will no longer vote for any of them.
🎯 The whole party's infested with blue MAGA republican-light DNC corporate-billionaire-lobbyist donor class zombies. Your average Joe dem still seems to be in denial but the two party system has officially collapsed and more of us have to keep claiming it and build a new party. This is real ✊🏻
Crybaby? No. I just refuse to support a party that can’t stand up for anything for their constituents. And it’s not as if they will fix anything if they get power back. They’ll fret about being beholden to the republican judges. Meanwhile the republicans do whatever they want.
We had a chance to get this right and Chuck let us down. . again. . . he needs to quit for the good of the party. We need a leader.
@schumer.senate.gov please resign.
Did he though, or did he stop a government shutdown that would closed the courts that are currently America's only defence against Trumps EOs. Christ only knows what his next EO would be if there were no courts to stop him, probably declaring himself Supreme Leader!
From now on I don't wanna hear anything in favor of any of these useless traitor Or I'll unsubscribe this Chanel and never click on another video again,
Chuck Schumer and the other nine senators who voted yes on the continuing resolution should resign if they're unwilling or unable to stand up to the Republican administration. It's time for new leadership!
There is shitting the bed and then there is aiding and abetting a felon. Senators who voted against Democratic values just helped an idiot and his Nazi sidekick take over the US government.
Time to IMPEACH Mr Trump, all MAGA and whatever Musk is. Mr Trump and MAGA are not supporting the US constitution or our national beliefs! These people are a national disgrace! Their betrayal of our constitution, our legal system and our brave forefathers must not stand!
Females - why do you vote for people who want to take away your right to vote, right to own property, right to have abortions, right to live, right to say no to being gang raped?
Males - why do you hate your mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, grandmothers?
"We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. "
Trump, Musk, other delusional nut jobs - fake Christian Fascist Republicans in Congress have harmed our economy, endangered national security, and public safety by eliminating foreign aid, gutting VA, gutting Social Security, gutting IRS, gutting Medicaid, made Trade War against our best friends
It was a literal lose-lose situation for the Democrats. A shutdown is what DOGE really wanted, think about it. Thousands of Federal workers furloughed & due to the lack of job protections = easier firings. That bill was rigged from the start. What Chuck & the rest of them adverted a massive disaster
If you're referring to Schumer, what would happen in the courts if a government shut down occurred and Trump issued an EO staying he was assuming absolute power?
Well yes and no, his argument was both compelling and logically sound. So it only took giving me a logically sound argument to believe him. Tell me what happens to the courts if the government shuts down?
The courts keep operating like in past shutdowns. They even usually use court fee balances and funds that are not dependent on congress. The bigger question is why is there always an excuse from the left about inaction? Schumer is worth more than 80M, do you think that came from public service?
I found the answer to how long, it's two weeks. The next question is therefore, given the destruction to government that Trump is wreaking, do you think he's happy to keep things shut down for more than 2 weeks?
Who decides what services to keep going in a shutdown, and how long can the courts continue to operate? I'm happy to be convinced Schumer is wrong, please go ahead give me the low down. I am honestly listening.
I always liked the idea of gov funded elections. Here's your 1 million dollars to campaign, that's all you get, good luck! Keep that aspect of things fair at least

Agreed. But, the right-wing needs a leader who doesn't appoint an unelected billionaire to slash federal workers' jobs. Dismantles federal agencies. Eliminates programs that feeds starving children & babies. Accesses Social Security, IRS & the Treasury departments to spy on citizens' private info.
Some really appalling and racist behavior. This, from a political party that swears it firmly opposes antisemitism. Yet, Trump has dinner with Kanye West (antisemite) & Nick Fuentes (Holocaust denier). They're trying to have it both way. Trump/Musk's affinity to Nazism is clear. They fool no one.
John Fetterman needs to step down. Prior to his stroke he would never have done this. He has turned a 180. I voted for him because he always did the right thing. I and many that I know will no longer support him. I wonder what he was offered when he went to Maralago?
And how about the other 9 d bags who went along w Chuckles? We knew Fetterman would because well, he’s Fetterman. He’s been trash for a long time. How about the rest of them?
Dems need to hold a leadership vote. First step is to call our senators and say not one dime for any of them if they don’t

@meidastouch.com @meiselasb.bsky.social @bmeiselas.bsky.social @meidasjordy.bsky.social Could you please cover some of the work @electiontruth.bsky.social is doing. They have found some undeniable evidence of election interference and vote manipulation. People really need to hear about this. 🙏🏻
One more reasons I distance myself from the Dems and Repubs. Dems lack backbones and Repubs are simply commie sympathizers short of being traitors. #budget
Schumer and co. simply do not get it. Have any of them ever wanted for anything, ever? Do they know what it's like to not know where you're going to sleep tonight. Every night? What and where you'll eat next? Averaging one "meal" every other day. They either don't know, or worse, they don't care.
AOC if she wanted to lead an exodus from the Democratic Party. She can raise enough money on her own (Like Bernie Sanders). She doesn't need the DNC. Become an independent. Start a movement. Maybe a few republicans will follow the lead and then Republicans will lose the majority. Independent is now.
The key is an aggressive campaign focused on the needs of the people for a third party to work. Reps were masterful on speaking to average voters ( regardless if they told the truth or not) and yes there may be interference but if we had effective communication, it's hard to let cheating pass1/
2/ But the time is right now. We need to start this process because it's only a matter of time before this government makes other parties null. Start protocol and worry about the details after it's formally set. Then psychological campaign with effective legislation.

Dems just lost all support today by supporting Republican funding bill. AOC should start a 3rd party. Now is the time in history when it would gain legs. Canada has way more than 2
It kind of hurts us though.
Realistically we have two major parties - Liberal and Conservatives, and our third biggest party is the NDP. These three take almost 100% of the votes.
Problem though is NDP splits up liberal votes.
In the US the biggest impediment to any Independent Party movement is the way the electoral college choses the President. With that said, if there were just 15-20 independents in the House and Senate who voted as a separate block, they would be the most powerful block/party in Washington.
Unfortunately “Proud”, the U.S. system is setup to favor two parties. We have winner-take-all elections. There are ballot access hurdles like tough signature requirements.
Yes, there are obstacles in place: Put there by the Democrats and Republicans. But if enough people leave the 2-Party suicide pact will start to fall apart. Trump is a destroyer of worlds who could drive enough people out. We need something to kneecap the partisans who are holding the US hostage.
2/2 Ranked voting would help. Maybe a State or two could go to "non-partisan" elections. Where candidates would not declare a party affiliation. Some communities do it. Perhaps a state or two could also.
Gerrymandering is destroying us. That is a fact. There aren't any moderate districts left. You have far left, and you have far right. There is no reasonable center anymore. Partisans on both sides have it gamed.
On February 4, Hitler issued the "Decree for the Protection of the German People," which restricted the press and allowed the police to shut down any political meetings or marches. This made it difficult for any of his opposition parties to campaign.
@schumer.senate.gov is a GOP hiding among the Democrats. When Felon47 thanks him for his decision, he and all of us know his true lack of moral fortitude. I hope the 9 other Democrats are proud for helping the GOP destroy America and all it stands for!
