seem to like to blame schumer.
How about those that actually negotiated this deal with the republicans? Or doesn't that fit the anti-schumer narrative.

(1,302 posts)When he does more than just voting no, and comes out publicly and states any Dem voting with the Repukes will have their committee assignments reviewed immediately. Then we will layoff Chuck.
Also special funding going to their States, time to reevaluate! If the fuckers are going to vote with Trump, then they will get the Trump treatment.

Along with all the Yes votes, Schumers career will end with his current term.

(16,762 posts)he is a disgrace to the Democratic Party and needs to be replaced with someone who will uphold the principles of the Democratic Party, someone like, oh, I don't know, AOC.

(16,792 posts)I am sick to death of wimps trying to "negotiate" with the Republican bully machine. How many times do they have to lose out doing this to LEARN that they need a different approach.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here.

(6,387 posts)That's just what Schumer is relying on - Democrats thinking that he has no agency and the Democratic senators who were negotiating with the republicans were in rebellion against him.
Give me a fucking break.

(6,387 posts)There is no way on god's green earth that this proposal would have gone forward if Schumer wasn't a "yes". The "anti-Schumer" narrative is spot on. He's the minority leader - they do what he says. He is to blame.
