  1. >It’s time to ‘chuck’ Schumer out

    I hope whoever wrote that is duly praised for their actions.

  2. It’s not just Schumer. Several Democrats are joining Republicans.

    Just rename the Democratic Party the Doormat or the Dormant Party and be done with it. It’s a fitting description either way.

  3. VOTE OUT CHUCK SCHUMER! Zero confidence in his ability to lead. We need a new minority leader.These old dinosaurs need to clear a path for young blood. Fucking retire Schumer. You are useless and spineless. Just roll over and fucking quit. GTFO of the senate. Go retire!

    Call and fax senators!
    You can send 5 free faxes a day! Fax senators!

  5. The Dems are not anything as bad as Republicans blaming, pointing fingers, throwing under the bus, s___ in the back, complete denial and finally, compulsive liars. This is a change that has been coming, but everyone has danced around, even avoided searching out answers. It’s not a shakeup, but rather a choice to replace leadership with something more appropriate for the sudden change in the Extremist Conservatives.

  6. Chuck is voting to abdicate Congress’s constitutional responsibility to Trump and Musk. This is much worse than it’s being portrayed. Chuck is voting to sell out the poor, elderly, veterans, students and federal workers because his donors are worried about share prices. 50% of Americans own zero stock.

  8. If anyone was ever in need of a “This is Sparta” moment right now, it’s this coward.

  9. Imagine ending your career to bail out Trump and Elon. It’s not enough for him to just do nothing, but he has to disarm dems in congress for 2025 and 2026 to satisfy his donors.

  11. He is a traitor to nation and party. He must step down.

  12. I just hope that they don’t just replace him with another milquetoast or conservative Democrat

  13. Get the fuck out of the people’s Congress, chuck, you fucking disgrace 

  14. You are not a Democrat if you think Chuck Schumer should remain in leadership 

  15. I will donate to at least one primary candidate that runs against Schumer if he doesn’t drop out.

  16. It’s not just grassroots and leftists calling for his removal. It’s everyone across the spectrum

  17. To not use the one fucking piece of leverage you have and immediately wave the white flag should be taken as nothing less than complete and utter capitulation to the fascist takeover of our government. I hope Schumer pays a severe price for this, but I’m not holding my breath.

  18. It’s a shame… It’s a tragedy… And he needs to go!

  19. I work in DC. Maybe I should take a few weeks off and just follow him around and boo him anytime he is in public. BOOO!

  22. There’s no world he should be minority leader anymore. He’s failed over and over and at this point he’s voted contrary to the majority of not only the Democratic members of the Senate but of Democrat voters in the country. He has to be gone.

  24. Imagine having a republican majority AND minority leader

  28. **Shameful Schumer** doesnt even pretend to represent his party anymore. Every American should call, email, and fax his office and demand he IMMEDIATELY RESIGN.

  29. I hope people spotlight this decision as a major betrayal to the democratic values of the party.

    The leader of the Dem party doesn’t want to be against Trump because deep down they are more willing to work for Trump than for the people they pretend to want to protect.

  30. Someone should tell him that the way to fix the problems inherent in a two party system isn’t by turning it into a one party system.

  31. Please contact democrats.org, ActBlue, DSCC, DCCC, and DGA and let them know that the donations of money and energy are over. Let them know it’s because of Cloture for the CR.

  32. I’m unregistering as a Democrat, it’s clear even if individual candidates can be effective the party is just paid opposition. As long as Schumer and Jefferies are leading the party we’ll never get anywhere and Trump along with Musk and the Republicans will continue to be allowed to rape the country with the permission of the democratic party.

  35. “Senator Schumer,

    As a lifelong Democrat, I am disgusted by your lack of leadership during the most significant crisis this country has faced since the 1860s. You do not represent the people. You represent corporate greed. Your cowardice in the face of a traitorous President, oligarchs, and a rogue right wing will never be forgotten.

    I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic as a young graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and went on to serve my country. As a child of immigrants, I was willing to fight and die to fulfill my oath as an officer in the United States Army. While I have left the service, I still take my oath seriously. Today I ask, ‘what did my friends and soldiers die for?”

    Your level of commitment to democracy and the American people is shamefully pathetic. I refuse to let my little multiracial child grow up as a second class citizen in the land he was born in. We may just be numbers in your decision-making calculus, but your decisions are personal to us. Step aside and allow an opposition to stand where you failed to.

    Signed,

    An angry father, veteran, and public servant”

    My drunk message to the motherfucker.

  36. Relax folks. The only real leverage the Democrats have is on the inevitable debt ceiling bill. Trump cares more about the debt ceiling than this one.

    Chose your fights wisely.

  37. Can anyone give me an ELI5 version of the argument that shutting down the government would have potentially given Trump more power, and why that’s not the case? I can understand that Dems would be desperate to avoid that, but clearly I’m skeptical of the argument. If it held weight I think more than 10 Dems (and more than just the predictably “moderate” ones) would have signed onto this. But I don’t know much about government shutdown in general, so just wondering what the basis of that argument was. 

  38. im so sick of these geriatrics refusing to let go of the reigns of power

    these people aren’t public servants, they are power hungry goblins. primary his ass and bring in the youth

  39. Schumer, Pelosi, Harris, Biden, Garland, Hillary…good riddance. You are a huge part of the reason we’re in this mess.

  40. I dunno maybe the same people that have facilitated a trump win 2 times now need to go? Perhaps it’s time to look within why support is gone.

  41. Schumer is really between a rock and a hard place, here. He’s got a powerful argument, that a shutdown would give Trump legal coverage for shutting down the courts by declaring them to be nonessential personnel.

    Probably time he went anyway, though.

  42. Instead of letting everything grind to a halt and putting the full weight of a shutdown on Trump’s shoulders, so that even the most willfully ignorant dumbass in America could see what’s happening, these fucking spineless traitors just handed him a free pass.

    A shutdown would have forced Trump to actually govern. Forced the GOP to own every piece of their bullshit. Forced the media to run nonstop stories about how Trump and his cronies are actively dismantling the country. But nah, Schumer and his jellyfish troupe decided to preemptively surrender, so now, instead of a shutdown that exposes how fucking incompetent and destructive these Republicans are, we get six more months of them quietly gutting everything while Schumer pats himself on the back for “keeping the government open.”

    These Democrats aren’t even representing their constituents. That’s not how this works. You don’t go to Congress and “interpret” what the people want. You don’t take the power we gave you and use it to cut some half-assed backroom deal because you think you know better. Your job is to take what your voters say and present it as is—not filter it through whatever self-serving, cowardly bullshit makes you feel better about rolling over for Trump.

    The GOP is nothing but traitors. The Democrats who folded are cowards and traitors, which makes them even fucking worse. They had a chance to put the spotlight on this fucking felon, and instead, they gifted him free rein.

    Fuck Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Dick Durbin (D-IL), John Fetterman (D-PA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Gary Peters (D-MI), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Angus King (I-ME).
