The voters handed the dems huge gains during the shutdown election, there's no clearer way they could have signaled we were behind them, and yet they betray us.

Shaheen, one of the seven Democrats (and one independent) who dropped their demand for a guaranteed extension of Obamacare subsidies, spoke to Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade on Monday morning.

So she was bragging to Fox on her and her co-collaborators conservative bonafides.

Billionaires are desperate to turn people away from the Dem party, because they can't buy the next Dem presidential primary.

You're pissed at Schumer? Good, he's a giant ineffectual piece of shit

But now that he doesn't have a corrupt DNC behind him, his days in office are numbered. So are the rest of the neoliberals and especially the ones who voted with republicans.

Don't blame the party for what single digit number of assholes did. And definitely don't leave the party by refusing to vote in Dem primaries.

Even if there's nothing that could ever make you vote D in the general again, vote in every D primary and pull them left as hard as you can.

The only way neoliberals get the DNC back, is if people don't vote in the next Dem presidential primary, a neoliberal squeaks thru, and if they become president, they name a neoliberal chair.

And neoliberals aren't above sabotaging the Dem party to get the reins back.

It like the buy/sell ads for gold...

When billionaire owned media shits on the Dem party, it means the DNC is against billionaires.

When billionaire owned media supports the Dem party, it's because they own it

Remember everyone. Moderate Democrats in USA are Center-Right in World Politics. They might as well be 2 sides of the same coin

If you are a voter who wants real change put in progressives, or indpendents that actually lean left in World politics

Run For Something trains progressive candidates to run and win. Couple days ago they won big for various elections when we had that very good day

They also have on Substack: RFS Feel Good which gives weekly updates about everything they have accomplished in & out of office

Volunteer to help more candidates & current officials to get things done!!

Why are any dems appearing on Fox “News”?

Of course he knew about it, and his career should be over. They held out all that time, so they could get a massive midterm victory, just to completely surrender all their new political capital, in exchange for literally nothing.

While American citizens see the modterm election as a victory, Democrats don't really see it that way. That was a Progressive victory, and the Dems look at it as almost as big a loss as the MAGAs do. They weren't about to keep holding out, and giving the Socialists another victory to run on 2028.

If AOC primaried him, she would destroy him.

Of course he did.

His whip was publicly swaying traitors ahead of the vote. And all the "yes" votes are people who aren't up next year or who are actively retiring. That is how they do stuff like this. Protect the traitors who can get re-elected and make the people getting their lobbyist payouts the bogeymen.

So Chuck Schumer knew this would Happy and Therefore PURPOSELY let People get Kicked off SNAP during the Holidays? GREAT! THAT"S my Type of Leader!

Schumer has zero control over his party when even the party whip pledges to defect. But he apparently refused to vote for the Democratic candidate for NYC mayor, so this is entirely expected and precedented.

This is just standard Democrat strategy.

Their job - the service their rich donors pay them for - is to provide the illusion of opposition to the steady expansion of the wealth and privilege of those same rich donors.

So they posture in order to appear to be opposition, but then they inevitably cave, one way or another, whatever it takes.

There was never any question that the Dems were going to cave - that's what they always do. The only questions were specifically how and when they were going to do it

And now we know.

There is no hope left. The only cure for the corruption is to cut it out. Guillotines make for an excellent blade for excision.

At best this is a massive gamble with the absolute last of the dregs of goodwill anyone left of center has for th democratic party. I'm predicting a lot of frustration -signalling throwing of hands in the air and performative filibusters in Shumer's future, and not much else.

New York Democrats: primary this piece of shit and get him out of the Senate. I don't care if his gamble pays off, he shouldn't be gambling with the future of our country against convicted fraudsters.

For like, the longest time, I got tired of people saying both sides are bad. There has to be some good in the Democrats somewhere to balance out or overtake the shittyness of Republicans.

But now, after however many stupid avoidable moves the Democrats have made, including this one. I'm not sure anymore. Possibly, now.

The only good person in my book is Bernie Sanders, still.

They should replace him with someone who has balls, like Melanie Stansbury.

How is the soggy assed even in his position. GET HIM THE FUCK OUT! He’s destroying the party and just a wet used fucking cum sock of a politician, no back bone. Gtfo, too much power for someone who can’t wield it at all because of their weakness. It’s sad. 😞

Both can be true. Schumer can scheme and have no control. The Democratic Whip voted to end the shutdown. That should tell you everything.

WTF is the Democratic Party's long term strategy?

Democrats need to do more than just get rid of Schumer..

Why the fuck are democrats talking to the Traitor News Network?

I feel like the plan they’re going for now is to make the shutdown a next year’s problem. It’s pretty much guaranteed to happen again at this point in 2026, right around re-elections again too.

If the pinky swear promises don’t come to fruition, then it’s likely going to be a worse shutdown than this one was. That doesn’t bode well for Republicans at midterms if those promises aren’t kept by that same token.

What will suck is people are going to have another year of higher costs because of the knock-on effects of the tariffs and higher insurance premiums now due to the ACA cuts.

Blue states need to be making up the difference for what the Federal government has failed to deliver on. We need each other more than ever to weather the storm of financial hardship caused by the Republicans in office.

The Democrats need their version of Trump that promises to shake all of this bullshit up. Drain the swamp indeed. Different sides of the same coin, just one side has a bigger price tag and takes longer to threaten, coerce, and bribe. But make no mistake, we have ALL been abandoned and will need a complete reboot of this party to the point where we start to vocally primary our own reps. Shit, I might just have to run now and my vetting isn't pretty but it's better than what we have in place.

I don’t trust Schumer and the Dems on any of this so if they want to build trust they need to speak out now and start by calling for Schumer to step down.

Remember Remember, the Chuck of November
