Verärgerte Demokraten fordern Schumer zum Rücktritt auf, nachdem acht Stimmen für ein Ende des Shutdowns gestimmt haben

Calling on him to resign ain’t gonna do a goddamn thing. Is there anyway to force him out?

Any federal democrat who doesn’t publicly call for Schumer to resign as Senate Minority Leader is complicit in his pathetic and cowardly „leadership.“

He literally doesn’t give a fuck. He’s a rich old white man. He’s part of the team.

He will never give a fuck about the American people.

Come on, Schumer, game’s over. We’ll get you some Kentucky Fried French Fries to celebrate the end of a… long and prosperous Senatorship.

This would be nice but ain’t gonna happen.

Honestly progressives and leftists need to just leave the party at this point. All establishment dems care about is our votes. All we asked them for was to be civil while we opposed maga together and they spat in our faces at every turn and explicitly opposed progressive candidates. 

Maybe they’ll finally listen if we stop giving them our votes and if not then we can start openly fighting them over what the future of the left looks like. I’m fine with either at this point but I have no intention of working with the dems anymore. 

Being a vote to the floor for a new senate minority leader. It will fail but grow a spine and send a message

He will stay on as long as he can so he can defend Israel.

Shoe on the foot of Israel, Schumer

Fuck resigning. Call for a vote to remove him as leader

Time for a 3rd party, Democrats are just Republicans in disguise.

Question yall…

Did they broker this deal in the senate while conveniently not having a deal in the house to vote on this?

Not that it matters since republicans will just vote no anyways when it comes time

> Democrats would get nothing on health care beyond a promise that the Senate will vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies before the end of the year — essentially what Senate Majority Leader John Thune offered more than a month ago and Democrats objected to.

Healthcare has been at the center of this unprecedented shutdown fight, and even if there is a future vote on ACA subsidies or amending previous cuts, there’s no indication that Republicans will change their minds about locking in rising healthcare costs and these cuts to Medicaid that don’t even remotely offset the cost of Trump’s agenda.

During the shutdown, Trump damn near gleefully threatened the livelihoods of Americans, their families and the federal workforce.

He threatened to impose mass layoffs and withhold funding to Democrat run areas and warned that he would take advantage of the shutdown to permanently disrupt government services and operations and cancel funding for social programs that millions of Americans rely on in one form or another.

At the same time he was throwing lavish, tone deaf parties, golfing on the taxpayer dime, taking a wrecking ball to the White House to continue construction on his invasive and increasingly expensive ~~ballroom~~ vanity project, and all while his lawyers are fighting in court to halt funding for SNAP benefits.

And bear in mind, we’re still waiting for Trump’s health care plan that he promised in two weeks from now… eight years ago.

That said, Trump’s careless and cruel decisions over the past 40 days will be overshadowed by Republican efforts to control the narrative.

They will push the talking point that Democrats prolonged this shutdown for nothing—that it was all performative. In spite of the fact that Trump and Republicans created the conditions for the shutdown in the first place by refusing to negotiate or participate, by cancelling votes, by forcing recesses, by failing to even show up for votes on government funding bills, and by rejecting Democrat’s CR counterproposal that included healthcare protections early on.

They even shot down a proposal to help temporarily fund SNAP benefits that were coming to an abrupt end.

Many have argued that Democrats recently gained some political leverage after last week’s elections indicated a sharp rebuke of Trump and his policies.

But now they’re folding with little to show for it and Republicans will seize on this opportunity to blame Democrats for the hardship that some Americans were forced to endure. And it won’t take too much convincing because Dems held out for a record breaking number of days only to come up near empty handed.

Meanwhile, Republicans still hold a trifecta of power and now assume all of the leverage. They have no obligation to hold a vote or even entertain Democrats.

And if another funding fight ensues in the future, they’ll be in a better position to refuse Democrats and deny them any sort of compromise under the guise that Dems are acting in bad faith and because they won’t dare risk another shutdown to ultimately concede to Trump’s ultimatums in the end.

When Republicans finally put this whole fiasco behind them, they’ll just continue lying about their commitment to a „better“ healthcare plan or instead of universal healthcare, we’ll get the universal privatization of healthcare.

Meaning more profit seeking and denied claims, exorbitant costs and skyrocketing premiums, unequal access to care and less accessibility for low-income individuals and families, not to mention the conflicts of interest and lining of pockets, hospital shutdowns, and of course, a lot more dead poor people.

This decision isn’t about left vs. right. This decision is about the rich vs. the poor. Schumer, those who back him, and Republicans are all on the same team. As George Carlin said about the rich, „It’s a big club. And you ain’t in it“.

Dinocrats not supporting a leftist platform and capitulating to big money, not surprising. They’re just conservatives that try to say nice things, while sprinkling in white liberal platitudes to make you feel better about capitalism.

Vote as many out in the next primaries as you can and start supporting actual leftist candidates. Their heads are on the chopping block now. 

Calling on all the young voters to mobilize and get out there. We now know the Madmani’s of the world can win. Let’s get as many in there as we can.
