Like 90% of the Dems in Congress need to go. Replacing Schumer will be a start but not nearly enough.

Recall them all, reject dem establishment figures in primaries, and call them up to tell them what you think of this cowardly maneuver. Fucking corpo shills.

I knew Schumer was gonna fuck it up somehow. The last few days I was finally starting to get a little hope he grew a spine and actually listened to DNC constituents only to have this blow up. We gave up effective air traffic, SNAP benefits, furloughed and laid off government workers for nothing in return after all these weeks. If his constituents don't demand a new rep after this then what hope do we have in the Senate for the foreseeable future?

The hateful 8

Could you imagine a government with 30% of the politicians being Independent like Bernie? The corporations wouldnt know who to bribe, politicians would actually need to worry about what voters think. 100% Independent would be horrific for corporations ... and exactly how the founding fathers designed the constitution.

Wonder what he got as a kickback. He does a lot of surrendering these days.

Not enough folks know about referendums, and all the cool things they can do.

US would do well to support third party candidates while building the vanguard.

Fuck chuck the Cuck

Kick his ass out!

It doesn't matter. He'd just be replaced by another traitor ghoul who would happily do the same thing. It's fucking over. Nothing good is possible in this system anymore. Hell, maybe it never was.

The eight senators were Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Dick Durbin of Illinois, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Tim Kaine of Virginia, Angus King of Maine, Jacky Rosen of Nevada, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, but Levin said many more centrist lawmakers were likely “in on the play.”

On **MSNBC Monday, Shaheen acknowledged that Schumer was “kept informed” of the eight senators’ negotiations with the GOP regarding reopening the government.

[...]

“The coordinated nature of this—none [of the lawmakers who voted yes] are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate [minority] leader to stop it,”

(emphasis added)

No, Schumer needs to resign immediately and never ever have any input to politics again, this was an awful betrayal of everybody who grinned and bore the suffering from the government being closed because they knew it was Republicans holding us hostage.

Schumer has betrayed us all by normalizing betrayal like this, by encouraging us to take a deal with the strongman out of fear because maybe people won't hold the line when you come under the crosshairs and maybe you will just be sweeped under the rug because your suffering was too cynical for the opposing narrative to handle...

This is honestly the singlest biggest US policy failure of my life time, I cannot believe how badly Shumer blundered and betrayed my future with this.

People are going to die because of how Schumer behaved here, many tens of thousands of people. Schumer is a disgrace to the Democratic party and is a living breathing argument as good as any that the issues at the heart of the DNC are terminal and fundamentally resistant to change necessary to survive, the future be damned.

His dumb attempt to set this up to try and avoid the blowback he got the last time he caved is infuriating. It's like he can't possibly standup for what he thinks is right. If he believes we should never shutdown the government, he should say so and own the consequences.

I can't tell if he's incredibly cynical or condescending that he thinks we're all morons that can't see through his lame attempt to frame the narrative.

Schmuck Boomer needs to retire so he can spend more time with his donors.

It's not just the rotating eight. It's not just Schumer.

It's the ENTIRE Democratic Party. This was a cold, calculated act that sent a message to the electorate: vote all you want, but the billionaires are in the driver's seat and they're not giving you an inch.

Not one goddamned inch. You're down in the shit, and that's where you peasants belong.

It's a shell game. It's rigged to the hilt. Both parties belong to the same billionaires, body and soul. The point is to keep the proles cheering for whichever cop is promising to save them from the other one, while both beat the shit out of you.

Funny how Americans forgot the lesson from 250 years ago. The one about the only solution for the Owner class. But then, they've been in control of the classrooms and the media for a long, long time.

#GeneralStrike #Revolution

Again. Fuck this guy.

All of them - plus Schumer - need to resign immediately. Primaries are way too far off.

That is where the pressure needs to be. Make the cowards crumble before their constituents for once, not just the fascists.

Even after so much disappointment in recent years, this self-own is a new low.

Primary all those cucks. They basically just showed how little they care about the people of this country. Fuck em.

You mean the ones in 2029? Other than Fetterman, the ones who voted no are not up for re-election for a long time. That was by design. Their assumption is that we will have forgotten by then.
