80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Thanks for doing the right thing @welch.senate.gov tonight.

The NEXT right thing is to IMMEDIATELY call for @schumer.senate.gov to step down.

This failure was total, inexcusable, and pathetic.

Dems are bringing a charcuterie board to a gun fight & it is contemptible.

Enough.

I am going to write a history book about 2025 called Cowards.

There will be chapters on #GOP , MSM, corporations, universities, churches, moderate Dems, military leaders, and @schumer.senate.gov [RESIGN TONIGHT YOU WRETCHED FECKLESS FAILURE]

Under each chapter heading it will just say:

Cowards

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Calling it now: Schumer will not be in the Senate in 2029. Either AOC will defeat him in the primary or he’ll retire. Either way he’s done.
agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Every name of every Democrat that votes for this better have their names released because they are gutless!

Yeah, the entire caucus is responsible for this, regardless of their vote
Any Democratic senator, at any moment, could've derailed this by calling for Schumer's replacement and casting their colleagues as MAGA collaborators, thereby shifting the Overton window. But they're all in on it. This was always a team effort.

WAKE UP AND LISTEN…
My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

If Dems do this deal it is EXACTLY why “Vote Blue No Matter Who” is BS! Why don’t these idiots fight for us????

It is SO MUCH worse to just cave at this point. Unbelievable. Absolute and total incompetence and betrayal.
A promise of a vote is a lie. They have let Anerica down. What was the point of it all?
Being a Bill's fan isn't easy. Today's game was downright painful. Now I'm praying Democrats stay the course and don't give up for worthless MAGA "promises." I couldn't take so much pain in one day. Also...where are the Epstein files?
No, this is ridiculous. Why would they go this far and then settle for a "promise" AKA "LIE?" I'm certain this is their orange cult leader's idea. He has no qualms about lying. It's what he does best. Don't cave!

Senate Dems have a winning hand and are folding. Rank and file Dem voters are going to need to rise up against and fire their leaders over this.
From what I have seen so far this does not seem like a good deal:

PLEASE TELL ME @democrats.senate.gov how we can be nine years into this dumpster fire and you still have a less nuanced understanding of our plight than my children do?

You are elected and paid to know better.

DO. NOT. CAVE. FFS.
