America don’t let the best and brightest be suppressed. Promote and reward the young, progressives that actually want to serve the people properly. Create a gov that protects the people against corp interests because that should be why they’re there. What currently is going on is a kleptocracy

You notice it's the Women who have our backs? The men are just spineless old farts who have been in office for far too long piggybacking off the hard working people who put them there. Maybe time for a change.

Bernie was right the whole time. All of it. All of the time. Every single minute he held office. Join the progressives moderates and we will show you how to fight. Now’s not the time to let maga put a boot on your neck.

Only this Dems surrender like this. Schumer excuse "that will be much worse" down the road. It sure will be after knowing they are getting away with everything and the old Democratic party is not fighting. They have no clue how to fight MAGA and an authoritarian regime. They should have be prepared!

If the Dems vote for this bill, I am done with being a life long democrat. I will register independent. @SenSchumer: You have let us down. You have been dishonest. You need to step down. We don’t support you. We won’t forget.

The Democrats had _months_ to prepare. Harris _campaigned_ on it! But when it happens they're like "Waaaaaa?!?!??" Where's Harris now? Business as usual - running for CA governor. AOC steps up without being forced. Jeffries was "Sorry we've got no power." until shamed by angry Democrats calling in.

Fine. But she shouldn't do it by attacking other Dems. That's just grist for the other side. You do it by articulating a reason why the bill terrible, that the Republicans are to blame, and that Dems want to protect working people. Instead she grandstands..because she wants to run for this seat.

she can have it. Sorry pal, I'm not going to entertain tone-policing of one of the few Democrat politicians actually doing her job. The Democratic Party is failing us daily, and thank god we have at least a few people like her who have the courage to speak out and stand up.

AOC may not hold an official leadership position in the party, but she is the de facto leader as far as Democratic voters are concerned. Her words and actions are the true reflection of what we democrats want out of our members of congress. Schumer is out of touch and should step down.

Any dem in the senate who votes yes tomorrow. Don't bother returning to your home state. you won't be welcome. And while your at it, stop going into work, if your not going to do your job, and uphold your oath, just step down now, so we can replace you with someone who will. Also fuck you.

AOC for Minority Leader, please!!!! We need leadership with a backbone and not these antiquated ideas on how to conduct politics. It's obvious the Republicans have thrown out that old ass playbook. It's time for Dems to do the same.

It's most unfortunate that some from the Old Guard refuse to step aside. They could be much more beneficial sharing their knowledge, wisdom, experience, expertise by helping to mentor the up-and-coming who have so much energy, exuberance, enthusiasm with new & fresh ideas to share.

He's confused about the ends and the means. He thinks the shutdown is the ends, but it's the means. The ends is, eventually, a return to a normal functioning democracy, and you aren't going to get that by caving. The 🍊💩was right about only one thing, it has to get worse before it will get better

The only people it will get better for are the Oligarchs on their knees to kiss Trump's ass. Not for the more than 60 Million Americans who need Medicare/ Medicaid and SS to live. For them, their earned benefits are all that stand between them and starvation, homelessness, and chronic disease. FACT.

The government isn’t supposed to be so polarized where every Republican vote Republican and every Democrat vote of Democrat. You aren’t supposed to be so hyper focused on every single thing. It’s not good. It’s part of fascism. There are bigger issues www.irishstar.com/news/us-news...

irishstar.comTrump may seize Greenland with 900-mile naval blockade expert warnsThe US President has repeatedly vowed to seize the semi-autonomous Danish territory, where deposits of rare-earth minerals and potential offshore oil and natural gas remain largely untapped.

Since when are you in favor of a government shut down? Musk and trump are trying to shut it down. Chuck is right. People are just hopping on the bandwagon attacking without really understanding what’s going on

AOC doesn't understand what "best choice," is, if it doesn't suit her agendas. The best of two bad choices is to vote for the CR. Trump and his Chumps will continue to screw things up until people yell loudly enough that Republicans in Congress realize that he has to go.

Chuck Schumer Must Go. Trump is purging officials, gutting democracy, and consolidating power. Musk is rewriting the rules. And Schumer? He’s giving speeches—while democracy burns. We need a fighter. Not a bystander. Read why Democrats must replace him NOW! open.substack.com/pub/jasonege...

open.substack.comChuck Schumer Must Go: The Senate Needs a Fighter, Not a Feckless CaretakerThere is a moment in every political era when the fight is so urgent, so existential, that only the boldest leaders can rise to the occasion.

Bravo AOC! What the hell is Schumer thinking? Yes, The MAGAGOP will blame Dems but they have control of all 3 branches! They fail on their own because of their failed policies and actions. They own the shutdown!! Not the Dems. Rethink fast Senator Schumer. Really think, real fast.

The weak Chuck is due for retirement. His service is no longer needed. He can switch to the Republican party or resign. He just screwed up the only chance we could take it to the MAGA maggots.
