Cuck Schumer primary assfuck him immediately
This was the only bit of leverage democrats had, the future of US democracy now lies with the judiciary, any future elections will be a farce.
The judiciary that is irreparably compromised already?
That's the one
Don't like the guy, but no need to kink shame
Many Democrat peers are urging AOC to do just that.
How would she be able to do that?
It’s as complicated as filing two short forms with the FEC and raising a minimum of $5,000 specifically for a senate campaign.
So to answer your question, she would file 2 forms with the FEC + have someone give her $5k.
She can run for Schumer’s seat. She lives in NY, she’s been a citizen for over 9 years, and she’s over 30 years old. Those are the qualifications.
Schumer isn't up for re-election.
He will be eventually. That’s the process to primary him.
His current term ends on January 3, 2029.
Today is March 14, 2025.
So today is the perfect time to start planning a campaign to replace them, the second best time being tomorrow.
Buddy we're in this mess specifically because the dems dragged their feet on doing something about trump and waited until the last minute to sic the courts on him, the earlier they do things the better.
At which point she could primary him. No one is saying this will happen overnight.
Let's not water down the term "traitor" during, well... you know.
Primary everyone on this list.
As a very dumb person, is what the Dems that voted for this said wrong? Is there a chance that Asshat Trump and his Billionaire Butt Buddy would go on an unchecked rampage without Congress in session? Or is that just bull crap? I don't know enough about how everything works when congress shuts down.
Dems need to stop obeying in advance. Make Trump actually DO the bad things so that his base continues to feel the effects.
No, that is the flimsiest of excuses. First of all, how could the presidents rampage more beyond what has already transpired? Secondly, republicans love to throw tantrums and shut down the govt all the time. This wouldn’t be much different except it would show the dems are actually willing to fight with the tools they have. Unfortunately, Schumer’s maneuver shows they are not. It’s beyond pathetic.
I don't care if it's cloture or the actual bill itself...
There should be zero Dems voting "yes" on any-fucking-thing these MAGAt bastards want.
Blatant and complete obstruction is the only way to play this hand for the foreseeable future.
Those Dems that do vote yes... 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕 🖕
Cloture vote required 60 for passage, final passage is only a majority. Cloture is literally the only time the minority party can assert itself, and they just gave it up.
The cloture vote required 60 senators. That was the only chance for Democrats to stop this bill. He (and the others) then voted no, so they could say he voted against the bill, but they knew damn well that only in the cloture vote they actually could stop it.
But Fetterman just blasted the Dems for showing up at a fight with a casserole. How did he turn to then serving the casserole?
His brain is casserole after the stroke.
Fetterman was either bought or blackmailed by AIPAC.
Fetterman was always fake. The people in his hometown know. It's just that against an even worse fake he can still look okay

Cowards. All of them need to go
Jeanne Shaheen already announced that she's not running for reelection...and she STILL voted for the CR. Not to mention that 4 of the other Dems are from the bluest of states.
What fucking bullshit.
Unpopular opinion: Republicans/Maga want to destroy the public sector. Why give the Republicans what they want? The dems stand for the public sector. Fight the Republicans but please use other means than shutting down a sector that is already under attack of Maga.
The dems stand for the public sector.
Do they?
The Republicans control both houses. If they can't get a CR passed by themselves, they need to make significant compromises to pass a bipartisan bill, which they haven't done. That's basic politics and it's been the case for hundreds of years.
Acting like this is the Democrats fault is nonsense. If the government can't pay the bills the people of the country need to finally see the incompetence and disdain for the American people that this administration has.
As for the public sector workers, if you think this will save them you're completely mistaken. This buys them weeks or a couple of months at most. Maybe a government shut down will remind the people what public servants do for them so they can start opposing this butchery of the government.
Hawaii has been sucking recently
When party stops representing the people it is time for the people to begin representing themselves.
I just contacted both my senators to thank them for their no votes and to encourage them both to work on removing Schumer from his minority leader position.
Holy shit did murica ever die with a whimper. Maybe not even a whimper, but I don't what's less
Most of these Senators have a net worth of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. They love Trump. He is cutting their taxes. (but not yours)
And when they sabotage the primaries to keep their opponents from taking the nominations, you liberals will still vote for them because they're somehow a lesser evil despite fully cooperating with the greater evil.
