Start a fucking progressive party already

Schumer's argument is shit. They're going to go after government agencies with or without the funding bill. With the finding bill they get to choose. Without it they have to shut down everything. Passing that bill means they get more maneuvering room, not less.

Are we calling him Cuck Schumer yet?

AOC needs to form a new party or at least go independent with Bernie. I'd really like an alternative to the Democrats because I'll never be voting for them again.

I hope she primaries him. Vote all those decrepit elders out of office.

Apparently it's only "compromise" when it aligns with corporate interests. When it's about the benefit of the people, it somehow becomes "extremism".

schumer has been a sack of shit for about as long as I can remember.

His vile cowardice is something I'm seeing people talk about, but the sheer stupidity of it isn't touched on.

CHUCK. HE IS GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU! THE D NEXT TO YOUR NAME MAY AS WELL BE THE STAR OF DAVID ON YOUR CHEST YOU DUMB FUCK! DICTATORS DO NOT LET "OPPOSITION" PARTY MEMBERS LIVE. NO MATTER HOW HELPFUL THEY WERE IN GIVING THEM POWER!

Like are you fucking stupid?

The only silver lining here is the remote possibility of progressive Democrats breaking out to form their own party. At least then the US will have a legitimate opposition party.

Jefferies and Schumer need to step down. This is pathetic.

If Pelosi AND AOC agree on something, no one in the party has any business disagreeing. Schumer should resign over this moronic take.

Democrat voters are tired of compromising. MAGA thinks they want to burn the US down so they can "own the libs" ... well let's fucking do it. Let's test their theory in the laboratory of life.

As she should.

Dems need to stop pretending Schumer is the only problem, any other dem in his position would have done the same thing including AOC. The party is rotten to the core it’s just a revolving door of sycophants who server wall st and capital. The party is working as intended. Notice how Dems never have power to make actual change, never have the backbone to oppose republicans, and when they have majorities they never use their power for actual progress or at the very least codifying laws like roe v wade ect. They are there to act like an opposition party not actually be one. The working class is perpetually screwed.

Cuck Schumer

About half the seated Democrats right now need to be primaried hard. How did we have a more coordinated opposition party during Trump's first term? It's worse this time around and they are showing absolutely no will to fight.

The naivety of the old guard feels akin to the council in Mass Effect 1 dragging their feet while Saren plows ahead unobstructed.

Hopefully she will run for his seat in the future.

I have been extremely pro-democrat and it has driven me insane how the far left ONLY ever shits on democrats when they are objectively better than republicans on every single issue. Democrats generally vote in the direction of increased taxes on the rich, more access to healthcare, better safety nets, etc. while republicans are just demons who obstruct all progress for the sake of destroying the world. But after Trumps election, watching the cowardice of the dems actually fucking disgusts me. They might as well be republicans with their lack of response. Just a fucking disgrace. Fuck Cuck Schumer. I will stop defending dems. Trumps election is the official end of both parties. Neither of those parties can be allowed to survive if the US manages to survive this.

AOC obviously didn't get the message. The Democrats have completely given up on the Kafabe of pretending to be an opposition party.

When I first met her, she was slinging margaritas at a Mexican restaurant near Union Square. It was the best part of the time between classes I had at Parsons.

Sadly, because I lived in Brooklyn, I could not vote for her, although she has been one of the greatest young progressive voices in our government in nearly a century.

Saying that “I wish her all the best” doesn’t come close. I want her to be president someday, very very soon.

Screw Schumer. If there’s one thing that might bring some people away from Trump - it’s having the government shut down for no discernible reason for an extended amount of time. Could be the last shot at doing things here the legal way

As she should, and Every. Single. Member! Do better “America” or should I say “The illegal 1% trash”.

“Public servants cannot and will not use their public status to increase their own personal wealth”

SAID NO GOVERNMENT MEMBER EVER! They are not “for the people” they have more money than most will see and clearly they only care about themselves! Fuck ALL OF THE GOVERNMENT MEMBERS and actually clean the fucking swamp from greed and idiocracy! We deserve better!
