From reporter Igor Bobic:
Democrats across the country are furious at their party for agreeing to reopen the federal government without key health care demands, and they’re taking it out largely on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Schumer opposed the deal cut by a group of moderate Senate Democrats, but his progressive critics faulted him anyway for leading the failed strategy and for being unable to hold his caucus together in pushing for an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies next year.

Chuck always folds for corporate interests. Kick cuck boomer to the curb.
His progressive critics? Apparently you are a progressive If you don’t want your neighbor to go bankrupt becausee their kid has leukemia or you want to feed the poor. American sucks so bad. It’s a shit hole country.
Either he was a „silent partner“ in this or has lost any control of the party. Either way that’s not someone that should keep their job. With leaders like him the Dems may as well not even run.
Good. Hope AOC primaries him next year.
Yet a lot of people are providing cover for him on here. Apparently him being unable to lead the caucus and get his votes in line isn’t his fault and doesn’t imply poor leadership.
Schumer is a wolf in sheep’s clothing for dems. He also knows he’s probably on the way out so he’s gonna do whatever he can to make as much money as possible. Which right now, is folding to the right.
Schumer should resign as minority leader. He failed on the narrative and leader front in every way. The Dems were never going to win this with Schumer. It was a hard win in the fist place, but Schumer was never up to the fight. It isn’t his nature. He is a 9 to 5 guy who got the office by waiting it out.
Yeah, this needs to be it for him. The Democratic Ancien Regime has got to go. Pelosi is a good start, now Schumer, then more. The party needs a purge of these antiquated voices. Their ideas and strategies are simply obsolete now.
Good. Primary the fuck out of this guy. I’ll contribute to whoever runs against him.
And rightly so. The man is utterly useless as a leader.
Good. Schumer needs to go. We need someone younger, hungrier and ready to fight.
The way I see it, we have 2 paths:
1. join and do everything in our power to take over local parties and committees, removing the levers of power from these corporate shills and influencing strategy to align with our goals. Or;
2. do nothing and complain online
is there a procedure at all? other than him not being reelected next time.
Dudes gotta go. He cost us affordable healthcare for at least a year, if not indefinitely. What was even the point of the shutdown if he’s just gonna cave and get nothing?
That’s because people think the Dem Senate follow his lead in lockstep like the Republicans do for Trump.
Please please please chuck this rat fucker overboard
Spineless coward fucker
Vichy Dems. Primary the lot of them.
Cuck Schumer
Fetterman needs to resign, immediately!
I hate the Tea Party/MAGA, but here’s what they did right: They completely took over the Republican Party by **voting in the primaries.** They pushed for Tea Party/MAGA candidates in every election at every level, and they did it for more than a decade.
That’s what progressives and democratic socialists need to do. It’s gonna be harder, because we won’t have billionaires astroturfing to keep us enraged and turnout jacked up. We’ll have to pay attention and act with intention. But we must be actively, righteously pissed off with warrior-like focus on breaking the corporate hold over critical blocks of the Democratic Party.
You don’t want to vote for some Chuck Schumer-type in the general? Fine. **But you BETTER show up** to beat him in the primaries. Canvas your neighbors to beat him in the primaries. Drag 10 friends to the polls with you to beat him in the primaries. Make it a mission and turn it into a fucking party when you win.
When you lose, lick your wounds and move on. Sulking accomplishes nothing.
All players on the same team under a different banner…
Well don’t just get the knives out STICK THEM WHERE NEEDED
Good. If the Dems were just going to cave (per usual), they should have never engaged in the shutdown to begin with. The missed paychecks and missed SNAP benefits would never have happened without the shutdown. Now that they’ve folded, while getting nothing in return, they will (and should) take the blame for the pain of those effects.
So tired of moderate democrats defending each other doing nothing while we march quickly into fascism.
Even before. Retire already!
Get this loser out immediately. He should resign in shame
This is nothing new. Schumer and the rest of the party should have been removed in 2020 when they voted against union labor and screwed the railroad employees. Im guessing most of you dont remember that and didn’t really care at the time.
By the time these 8 people are up for reelection, no one will remember this. They will stay home for the primaries, fail their responsibilities as a citizen, and bitch because it doesnt get any better.
The fault of our current political situation lies firmly with the American people. NO ONE else. We are a lazy, apathetic, greedy nation full of whiners who can’t be bothered to stand up and demand our elected representatives do their job.
My activism is done. I won’t be attending anymore „No Kings,“ protests.
This is what my Democratic Party delivers for me at crunch time. A weak cave-in from corporate Democrats.
The Republikans are gutless, cowardly, corporate scum; the Democrats are effectively useless, worthless, bought and paid for by the billionaires and the corporations.
The real blame lays at the feet of Dick Durbin minority whip and the illusion of choice that party politics has led Americans to be dissatisfied with the Senate chamber. This goes back to even Joe Lieberman shooting down the public option all those years ago.
Americans are fed up with the Senate acting high and mighty with the filibuster doing nothing more than protecting senators from facing the repercussions of their actions.
You can only lean on kicking the can down road before Americans start losing faith in the chamber.
For any centrist chickenheads out there, the moderate position between fascism and nonfascism is indeed fascism.
They were in the strongest position possible. Most the country was behind them. And they just…gave up. What that fuck!?
Get Chuck the fuck out of here. He’s always been a giant pussy and we’ve dealt with it for far too long. I’m sure he’ll write a „strongly worded letter“ about this.
I am done with Democrats if they vote to reopen without guarantees for the ACA.
Aging coward should retire. What an embarrassment… just join the GOP already you are their MVP
Honestly this feels worse than when trump was elected for a second term . The momentum from recent elections results feel even more meaningless to me
Hey, I don’t know why all the hate.
Ending the shut down was critical to the interests of Israel. He had to act.
Should have been out long ago imo
He got what he wanted, the folks in it won’t facing voters anytime soon. He wins, we lose, and short memories will see him cling fo power, as no one in the party will stand up to this.
I love how MAGA is flooding social media of these democrats thanking them.
Good. Took long enough
„My job,” he told me, “is to keep the left pro-Israel.“ Bret Stephens in NYT, 3-18-25.
This guy does not reflect the interests of Democrats. Unyielding support for genocidal Netanyahu and now caving on the shutdown after so much damn pain and gaining nothing – again.
He must go. I call on Democrat party Leadership to take steps to remove him from the Senate Minority Leadership position immediately.
I live in DC so I have no senator to call and bitch. I hope redditors will call their senators on behalf of like-minded Washingtonians.
