Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called the Schumer cave to Trump a slap in the face and a betrayal, and she warned that House Democrats won't forget what Schumer has done.
AOC is not alone. None of us will forget what Schumer is doing. He is showing what I and my friends in Indivisible believe: that he is displaying "learned helplessness," and a lack of necessary courage. He is 78 years old and frozen in time. He needs to go!
Exactly. I don't think he's malevolent and even he was miffed by this DOGE stuff, but he's too much of a relic of a bygone era when Democrats were super wishy washy, centrist, and fetishized bipartisanship to a fault. The age of "Dems Playing Nice" is over! Time to get tough!
It's not to late to call him and demand he not turn yellow for the orange one.
Schumer and Donald Trump goes way back. Donald at one point contributed to Schumer’s election. I have always felt Schumer was involved in helping Melania Trump obtaining the EB-1 visa. AKA Einstein Visa, which is reserved for immigrants with "extraordinary ability" and "sustained national and international acclaim, people who are highly acclaimed in their field. For example: Pulitzer prize winners, Oscar, respected academic, researchers, and Olympic winners. Personally I do not feel dating Donald Trump or the type of modeling she was doing at the time would be considered,
Holy shit! "reserved for immigrants with extraordinary ability" in no way applies to Melanoma! She is the most embarrassing, grifting first lady in my lifetime, and I am 85 years old.
78 years old? You think that is old? That is discrimination... You are a liberal? Learned helplessness? Take your pharses and shove them,,, If the government were shut down....Trump dream will come true He has no motivation to reopen it MAGA people are way too fucking stupid to understand that shutdown would hurt them,,,, but Trump does not care.. The last thing that the Democrats. if they are to change national minds need is AOC anywhere
Really? That is typical bullshit half ass so called progressive dogmatic fucking comment.. That is precisely, in a nutshell whu you blithering arrogant assole idiots will never ever win another national election? You claim to be progressive, but have the effrontery to suggest that I do not belong on this site? Who the fuck are you...the admission police.. You do not determine who and posts and what is said where.. You are not a progressive.. You are a regressive Nazi... On this site? Fuck you! How is that
different than what is this black person doing at my drinking fountain?. You are a preposterous flaming fraud, and this is what you dipshits do:. You exclude and dismiss all that does not exactly mirror you ,and perfectly reflect your thoughts and desires.. Progressive... my cute little perky ass!
I agree with you about the age thing. Not a good reason to denounce someone. But I am tired of Democratic leaders not standing up and taking a risk for their principles. It is going to get tough. But, Trump and Musk are attacking Medicare, Medicaid, trans people, immigrants, our neighbors, our allies We need to stand up to this and let them know no way, not now, not ever. .
Cowards??? What the fuck are you talking about... I just love you keyboard ear bud resistance warriors...sitting next to your plants and fighting for democracy
And who are you? Are you doing anything to defend our democracy, or are you just a keyboard jockey you claim to abhor? I’m an eighty-year-old disabled person, who is unable to get out there and has no other choice but to encourage and cheer on those who put their money where their mouth is.
Fuck off assole…. You do not get it… you people misinterpret everything.,.. The fact of the matter is that 75 % of the people on this site are paper mache liberals, who do not have a fucking clue what it is to be “without” that is without Spotify, smart phone, ear buds, lattes, Dr Pepper, backpack with little animal attached…. gym workouts Uber,,,Grub Hub etc… They act as if they are part of the great French Underground or hustling civil war slaves to Canada… they are middle to upper class self indulgent selfie taking un involved and narcissistic professional victims who mistake social media for reality… These people actually think they have made friends by tapping keys on computer
I don't call him a traitor, I think these people who have been in government so long, they simply can't see what's going on. They believe as I do that democracy will stand, but unlike me, I want it to stand right now, not down the road 30 years. Biden was like this, he simply could not see Trump for the threat he poses. Garland, the same way. These people are wealthy, safe, they aren't being attacked. We need people in power who remember what it feels like to have a hammer hanging over you. To know your government is not your friend but your enemy.
She knows how to represent the people who voted for her. The ones that do as the people want need to form their own party. Only donate$$$ to the one’s individually. Do NOT DONATE TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! Only DONATE TO THE INDIVIDUAL DEMOCRATS.
I called his office and left a message that he is weak and pathetic and that I’m stopping all donations to Democrats if he votes yes. Done playing. This is war!
He tried to explain it last night how it would be worse to have a shut down, Trump control during a shutdown versus passing what they got. How it would be so much worse. And even though I can understand his logic I cannot accept it I am totally pissed.
I hear you. My problem with him is this. On Monday he said he couldn't support the bill written by the GOP because of the damage it would do to the country and he was looking for a 30 day CR. He could have also indicated that he would look at other options and talk with the house member. The Democratic needs a spoke person to deliver their messages because Schumer is very bad at delivering their message.
This is very simple try to follow pay attention Trump hates the federal government he hates services provided by the government... He is abolishing many parts of the government... He has no motivation to keep government open.. If it shuts down,,,there is no reason to assume that he will ever help to reopen it
Schumer and Hildebrand are NY senators. My senators!! Voting yes for the CR will not be forgotten by NYers. They will be driven out.
Vote no on the CR or abstain or get out of the way. Trump and republicans cannot be bi-partisan. They want to destroy any and all democratic ideology. Vote yes, and the entire congress will be out of jobs.
AOC is exactly right! If Schumer can’t fight against the authoritarian takeover, then he needs to go as soon as possible get him out of leadership. Have someone like AOC be the voice of the Democratic party?
I’ve always sided with Shumer but after this I have no faith in his judgement. Actually most democrats have caved to the convicted felon. He’s probably afraid the narcissistic sociopath is going to call him more names and his feelings are hurt. They are all afraid of that idiot. For the life of me I cannot understand why!
To quote someone more famous than me, “If not NOW, when?” We are being destroyed by this President and all his ENABLERS! It has got to stop. WE THE PEOPLE are behind any and every “wrench” the Dems can do to STOP IT NOW! The more we hesitate the more power THEY gain. WE THE PEOPLE demand definitive action NOW!
And I emphatically messaged Schumer and Guillibrand exactly this! Pray they listen to all of us. We will GLADLY take the hit for our democracy. We are sick of taking all the hits of the 2024 Election of an ILLEGITIMATE president and his regime
AOC is not alone. None of us will forget what Schumer is doing. He is showing what I and my friends in Indivisible believe: that he is displaying "learned helplessness," and a lack of necessary courage. He is 78 years old and frozen in time. He needs to go!
I'm 81 and I agree. Time for dem leadership without shriveled up testicles!
You are a welcome breath of fresh, unshriveled air!
Well said 👏🏻🌹
Exactly. I don't think he's malevolent and even he was miffed by this DOGE stuff, but he's too much of a relic of a bygone era when Democrats were super wishy washy, centrist, and fetishized bipartisanship to a fault. The age of "Dems Playing Nice" is over! Time to get tough!
It's not to late to call him and demand he not turn yellow for the orange one.
Yeah about that. His senate voicemail hung up on me, only after several attempts to get through to it. It felt intentional.
Well, here's another way to contact the guy. Post your message under the "Budget" heading... https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck
Thanks, my subject line was GROW A PAIR
I did earlier this morning. Do we have a list of other potential defectors that we can call/email/message?
Did it. Thanks for the link.
You can never reach the top people in the Democratic party.

You are frozen in time with Schumer! What are you doing on this progressive site?🥸

Really, Pete? You kiss your mother with that mouth?
Go hold his bags when he gets voted out. Trump needs to be stood up to and held responsible.
I agree with you about the age thing. Not a good reason to denounce someone. But I am tired of Democratic leaders not standing up and taking a risk for their principles. It is going to get tough.

I got thru 😤 and I let him now in a very polite way...I was pissed.
Glad to see AOC doing what needs to be done, as always: standing up for her constituents and the people of the U.S. to the cowards in Congress.
Right on!

“You people”? So, who are you? Not one of us, apparently. You sound kind of sad.
I would be more than happy to show you in person there nazi lover
dm me where and when
Schumer is a traitor to the Democratic party. Vote NO on the CR!
He's a traitor to the USA.
I don't call him a traitor, I think these people who have been in government so long, they simply can't see what's going on. They believe as I do that democracy will stand, but unlike me, I want it to stand right now, not down the road 30 years. Biden was like this, he simply could not see Trump for the threat he poses.

I’m with AOC!
I called his office and left a message that he is weak and pathetic and that I’m stopping all donations to Democrats if he votes yes. Done playing. This is war!
I'm on Social security he better not back down. I would rather suffer for a short time instead of the rest of my life.
Chuck ought to explain the reasoning for this. He needs to be communicating with the country. Daily press conferences.
He tried to explain it last night how it would be worse to have a shut down, Trump control during a shutdown versus passing what they got. How it would be so much worse. And even though I can understand his logic I cannot accept it I am totally pissed.
I hear you. My problem with him is this. On Monday he said he couldn't support the bill written by the GOP because of the damage it would do to the country and he was looking for a 30 day CR.

The Democratic needs a spoke person to deliver their messages because Schumer is very bad at delivering their message.
Does Israel have anything to do with his vote-Israel needs Trump.
POS and Skum WANT a shutdown. Why give them what they want? See my long argument above.
This is very simple try to follow pay attention Trump hates the federal government he hates services provided by the government... He is abolishing many parts of the government... He has no motivation to keep government open.. If it shuts down,,,there is no reason to assume that he will ever help to reopen it
I have no respect for Schumer, he is not the person he is trying desperately to convince
Can you fucking read or listen? He was all over the internet.. god shit fuck... you people never ever stop whining
Schumer and Hildebrand are NY senators. My senators!! Voting yes for the CR will not be forgotten by NYers. They will be driven out.
Vote no on the CR or abstain or get out of the way. Trump and republicans cannot be bi-partisan. They want to destroy any and all democratic ideology. Vote yes, and the entire congress will be out of jobs.
Open your eyes to fascism!
Shame on Chuck - but not really surprised at his stance.
Schumer and the 12 dem senators planning to vote yes on the CR need to tell us WHY!?!?
We need to STAND FIRM against giving Trump any kind of “win.” Especially when it is not a win for this country.
AOC is exactly right! If Schumer can’t fight against the authoritarian takeover, then he needs to go as soon as possible get him out of leadership. Have someone like AOC be the voice of the Democratic party?
I’ve always sided with Shumer but after this I have no faith in his judgement. Actually most democrats have caved to the convicted felon. He’s probably afraid the narcissistic sociopath is going to call him more names and his feelings are hurt. They are all afraid of that idiot. For the life of me I cannot understand why!
I agree with Aoc
It’s well past time for the establishment Dems to move the fuck aside.
THANK YOU
