1. She’s in the house. Doesn’t really help us but I appreciate her stepping up and getting the message out.

   Message him immediately

2. I cannot fucking believe how spineless the Democrats are, they won’t even use a filibuster with their golden opportunity to finally force some concessions legislatively from the republican congress. Now we are totally fucked. Goodbye medicaid. Goodbye social security. Thanks democrats for NOT FIGHTING AT ALL TO PROTECT THESE VITAL PROGRAMS. I am so fucking disgusted.

3. If AOC says it should shut down I trust her. This will give trump way too much control of the money supply.

4. Schumer’s offices are closed right now, but you can send him an email telling him what a coward he is right now. I’ll certainly be calling every number I can tomorrow.

5. Can she primary Schumer

6. AOC should primary this spineless turd if he helps this Republican bill go through.

7. Good. I know the effect will be minimal at best due to her being in the House, but it’s appreciated.

8. Has Bernie signaled how he’s going to vote on this.

9. She certainly has more balls than he does.

10. We need to protect AOC as the national treasure she is.

11. Make sure to ask him how much he got paid to sell out the country

12. All of the DNC should break from Schumer.

13. Every freaking Dem needs to OBSTRUCT everything that doesn’t benefit them. Stop playing nice!

14. She’s the only one with a pair of balls.

15. More need to break from the establishment Dems. They aren’t left enough.

16. Schumer is to Trump what Ludwig Kaas was to Hilter.

17. Only person in the party with any brains

18. God I can’t wait for her to primary his ass

19. Everyone should break with Schumer over the spending bill. And if she announces that she’s going to primary his old ass, I’d donate to her immediately.

20. Let’s go AOC! It’s time for you to step up and replace Schumer!

21. AOC is right.

22. SHUT IT DOWN.

    Make the Republicans do their own dirty work.

23. What a chicken shit (Schumer)

24. Good for her! Actually representing the people who voted for her.

25. I feel like at this point there’s no turning back for the Democrats.

    In midterms either they’ll be shriveled up and weak because of how much power Trump has grabbed and will never ever be allowed to even hold enough seats in the legislative branch to even do anything all because of democrats like Schumer laying down and taking it or there will be a shift in the Democrats overall message and leadership.

    I really hope it’s the latter and I might be being cynical but I don’t think there’s going to be any inbetween of those two extremes. The Democratic Party won’t be able to exist as it did before at this point. Those like Schumer holding on are just giving the fascists room to win.

26. Get a new party going, this one’s broken. 95% of the Dems are goddamn useless

27. He’s directly contradicting the strong messaging of AOC for this capitulation defeatist messaging. Is it a wonder that D’s are getting crushed? What will it take for the D party to actually support the downtrodden they claim to represent?

28. Trump said Schumer wasn’t really Jewish, but Palestinian.

    Schumer proceeded to Ben both knees.

29. I just listened to Schumer explain his rational for not opposing the CR on MSNBC with Chris Hayes. I admit to not having enough knowledge to hold a firm opinion one way or the other. What I can say with certainty though is that Chuck Schumer has absolutely no ability to communicate the rationale for his position. I’m sure that AOC has no difficulty conveying her reasons.

30. No, Schumer broke with AOC after he already said that he would not back the bill and is now flip flopping to say that he will.

31. Yeah no shit. Because she is not a fucking coward like the rest of them.

    Schumer should be ashamed, and I hope he gets enough bad publicity over this to step down.

32. Four options:

    1) Force Republicans to nix filibuster
    2) Force Republicans to use reconciliation
    3) Force Republicans to negotiate and give something up for your vote
    4) Roll over like a bitch

    What did Chuck Schumer choose?

33. Schumer is acting like we’re still dealing with Trent Lott and Jack Kemp.

34. Letting the government shutdown for no reason is dangerous. Letting it shut down because one branch is actively taking a sledgehammer to the rest of the government is not ‘no reason’. 

    If you aren’t in favor of stopping this insanity there isn’t going to be much government left for very long anyways. Can the elected reps at least ‘attempt’ to save democracy and the institutions that they were duly elected to serve, and that pays them significantly better compared to many of their constituents to do so?
