Schumer is an old-head with lots of money and less fight. He is one of the leaders who needs to go post-haste.

Country is broken. I’m ready to take the Republican playbook. Stand on business. The high road shyt is dead
This. They slipped this in last minute and kept the general funding.
The next budget will likely be another CR
But when people point out this level of idiocy, they get called c00ns and agents.
Democrats are feckless losers

Failure is not a option
once upon a time Hakeem Jeffries was setup to at least be a Temu Obama but bro has such a lack of energy, shown zero strategy for now or the future dealing with the present reality...what are the Democrats plans?who are they even running/grooming for 2028? bold history changing leadership is needed for this job in this time period.Dems need new leadership in both chambers as Hakeem is another useless feckless corporatist
He instructed dems not to do anything during trump's SOTU and He was reportedly upset at Al greene and other dems who didn't just seat there and clap
We cooked
If folks are really treating politics like team sports, they gotta start being on team ADOS/Black/African American/Negro American/Freedmen/etc and not on team *insert political party here*. Once you mentally realign your "team" to be your people and not a political party "bothsiders with a rare win" this kind of thinking goes away.

Ladies and gentlemen - the Democrats!
I see some people are still doing the Chuck Schumer = The Democrats.
The beauty of knowing names is we can call them out. Hell, we can call the Senatorial Democrats switchboards and call his ass out by name. Him being spineless on this (fearing midterms backlash for the government being shut down) doesn’t mean everyone else is.

They need 60 votes in the Senate to pass the spending bill. They can’t do it without at least 7 votes from Democrats.

Schumer was faced with two options - accept the budget resolution or shut down the government which gives DOGE and Elon carte blanche to mass layoff federal workers.
He was in a no win situation

Musk/Trump plan to fire hundreds of thousands of federal workers and restructure the federal bureaucracy to maintain GOP political hegemony.
GOP control of Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court means that shutdown is the only tool for Dems to gain any concessions until midterms in 2026
“No win”I have no idea what you are quoting me with that for. Are you American? If so, please call the Democratic switchboard (202) 224-3121.
If not, well....
It is a tough spot but he has to play hardball like Republicans do. Make them not have the votes. If the mothafukka would listen to the progressives in his party, he could tell America exactly why he is NOT voting for the CR. You have idiot Republicans cheering on cuts that WILL eventually hurt them one way or another. If the government shuts down and cuts are being made, thats when its even harder for regular people to ignore what is going on.
Will people be mad? Yes. Will this be some salve to keep from burning too hot come midterms? fukk no. Either Donald Trump is a threat to the USA or he isn't. Voting FOR this undermines the truthtelling they did before he was elected.
