The Senator had an opportunity to fight. He broke his word to House Democrats and bent the knee. I'm not interested in anything he has to say. If he was running for dog catcher I'd vote the for the dog.
But hey everyone, some of those Republicans are people he sees at the gym. If he puts up a fight, he'll have to wait to use the sauna to avoid the awkwardness. We can't expect that.
I want Schumer out too, but perpetual bashing of Democrats is dangerous unless at the same time even fiercer opposition is waged against the convicted felon, unelected oligarch, and cult party wrecking this country in more ways every day. People are dying because of the Trump admin.
It’s not dangerous to criticize the party for not properly expressing our anger and frustration. We all know what’s at stake fighting Trump and we want leaders who act like it too. It will be to the benefit of the party at the end of the day to adapt to the times.
I'm talking about the media pile-on (Biden is old! Harris ignores the working American!) that means under-reporting what Republicans are enabling. News watchdog groups pointed this out before the election. Most Americans don't know anything much at all. Of course adapting is good.
Biden is old to the point he had trouble finishing sentences up against the opposition….Harris moved to the right and campaigned with the Cheneys
Its not the media, its their voters with valid critique of a party that hasnt clearly defined itself in decade+ because its too concerned with who’s next
I don't disagree with Schumer. A government shutdown might have been a gift to King Trusk. What would incentivize him to reopen it? They do not fear chaos. As Little Finger said, in GoT, "Chaos is a ladder."
Neither him or Jeffries can fight in this moment. They both need to step down. Jeffries had redeemed himself a little over the budget fight but when he backed Schumer as leader not anymore. They are both too weak.
Where can I sign. I think he should just resign or stay to keep a so called democratic place in the Senate. I already told a lady on the street collection for the party I'm done with it thanks to Schumer.
Give up on Schumer. He's a weakling. Dems need stronger leadership. Leaders with a backbone should be a welcomed change in Congress. It's time for the elderly to admit their time is done. Move over or get out.
Take the protests to Dearborn Michigan and other Arab American areas that voted for Trump. That would be the honest thing to do, confront those who put him in power.
It's these same "Liberal Youth Groups" that put Trump in office bc they refused to vote for Harris with their "Free Palestine" crap.. Now that Trump is persecuting them, they want the dems to help??

Even if they did, are they not supposed to take action to fix their mistake? Inaction as a response to fucking up is even worse than making a mistake and then changing course to try to lessen the harm of the mistake
It isn’t just Schumer, it’s a larger
issue with ineffective leadership throughout the party. If we are asking him to resign we should be calling for many more resignations.
The DNC as it stands cannot lead us from here and has lost the plot.
Dear All, seen from abroad (Germany) we can only be astonished on the lack of leadership and ideas for the future role for Democrats in congress. Comparable situations under the Biden - Rule led to negotiation between Dems and GOP, normally followed by some success for GOP! Dems dare to fight today!

If the Democratic Party wants to build a coalition, they have to listen to more than one part of it once in a while.
It's very clear from his latest interviews he's in total denial concerning his weakness and wrong-headed take on how to oppose the fascist GOP.

I did for like two seconds after the vote but then I did due diligence.
These kids are precocious, and precious.
Keep fighting kids but leave the big choices to people who can navigate complex issues with more acuity.
Y’all don’t know how to fight properly.
REPUBLICANS WANTED THE SHUT DOWN!
Get it through your head.
These “woke” people are dead ass asleep, gnawing on what should be a hero with their fetus teeth.

Either you want our votes or you don’t. Pick a lane.
