First they came for trans, and I spoke up because I am not a fascist.
Then they came for the undocumented and I spoke up because I am not a fascist.
Then they came for Chuck Schumer, meh, two out of threes not bad.
Democrats need to primary all these old fucks the way the crazy maga crowd primaried Republicans
Big surprise, old suits in the democratic party don't represent the modern democratic voter.
There needs to be term limits, especially based on age, and to whipe out any form of stock trading and "donations".
The reason they're still in office is for 30 years the DNC has put protecting incumbents above all else, including beating republicans.
The DNC power structure is pretty much the opposite of a democracy, but we just got our furtherest left chair in over 30 years, and his performance as a state party leader shows his biggest concern is beating Republicans, and he's accomplished that to great success by just not putting the party in-between voters and the progressive candidates they want to vote for.
It's an incredibly low bar, but one Ken Martin easily clears.
Don't hate the (literally a month old) new blood for the failings of the old.
The entire Democratic Party leadership needs to resign and be replaced by people who will actually fight for working Americans.
In November Schumer and the other leaders suffered the worst defeat in party history yet they haven't realized the only thing left for them to do is resign in shame.
The worst defeat in party history is definitely Reagan 1984.
Not going to happen.
Change has to come from the bottom, not the top.
Chuck is a pussy and needs to go ASAP
"VoTe BlUe no mAtTeR who"
Liberals as always would rather side with fascists.
Just for the record, this is what democrats always do, and it's why they keep fucking losing.
Democrats would rather have trump than have a social-democratic platform, and it shows every time they have the opportunity to fight him and chose to capitulate instead. The democrats aren't a left-wing party, certainly not now, and arguably not since FDR.
Two sides of the same coin if you will.
Call your democratic rep and demand that they insist Schumer resign.

At this point, I am Not donating a single dollar more to the party. I won’t vote for a democrat at the top of the ticket and will pick a DSA candidate or green candidate. If the democrats aren’t willing to fight for democracy or strengthen it when they’re in power, I won’t reward them with votes.
Every democrat senator needs to be primaried.
Do-nothing Democrats strike again.
Schumer is a coward and a fraud. The weakest leader in a generation. He should resign in shame.
Rumor is that he's doing it because he has a book tour starting tomorrow and if there's a shut down he can't go. Fucking cretin.
Perfect encapsulation of the state of the Dem leadership:
"Chuck Schumer caving and saying he’ll vote for a blank check for Trump and Musk is demonstrative of why Democrats lose," lamented progressive activist and writer Jonathan Cohn. "Voters so often don’t believe what they [Dem leadership] say because they don’t believe what they say."
(Emphasis and clarification in brackets mine)
Literally less than 24 hours after saying democrats wouldn't support the CR
Absolutely pathetic
"People will not forget!"
Ron Howard: "They Would."
