Schumer announced Thursday he would vote to pass Trump’s disastrous budget bill to avert a government shutdown, flipping on his own party just 24 hours after he signaled he would vote against the bill. Pelosi issued a statement the next day urging Senate Democrats not to follow his lead.

Primary the fucker. I'm tired of these shitty halfassed center obsessed babies who spend their time trying to appease republicans instead of standing up to them.

Its too late for primaries to be relevant.

Midterms are game changers. It is not too late for primaries.

The 2026 U.S. midterm elections are scheduled for November 3, 2026. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats will be contested.

Schumer's seat is up for reelection in 2028.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That doesn't make the other 35 seats meaningless.

No, wasnt trying to say it did, just if anyone was curious when it will next be possible to oust him

Great. Irreparable harm is being done to people right now.

We're talking about primaries and midterms. If you don't understand how elections work, i don't know what to tell you other than wikipedia is a great resource.

Are you American? If you are then you should already understand this.

Well yeah, just next election replace him.

I’m no fan of Nancy either but she’s got more spine than Schumer I’ll give her that

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago (4 children)

All politicians do when they're out of office.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago

She's not speaker any more, but she's still a member. And I'm sure she would've said the same as speaker.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Is Nancy done? I thought she was still in office just not the SotH

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Except Pelosi is still in office.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Is she out of office?

Man, I was just thinking last night that at least Pelosi never publicly capitulated like this, and then realized how absurd it was that I was yearning for the good old days of fucking Pelosi.
