i’m not buying the ‘TRUST ME BRO’ vibes from dick durbin

never mind the fact that he’s calling US stupid because we supposedly don’t know how the senate works

what a piece of sh*t
Dick Durbin suffers from a terminal case of Senate Brain, in which the big prize is a handshake deal with your distinguished colleagues where they'll allow you to hold a meaningless vote that you can then point to with pride to your constituents as they go broke from crushing medical bills.
Durbin said critics of his vote “need to understand how the Senate works”

One of two things is true:

1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader.

OR

2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill?

Here you go.

thank you for calling out @schumer.senate.gov and his absolute COWARDICE and INABILITY to keep democrats from doing the right & ONLY thing tonight

we mobilized, fund raised, canvassed, protested...all for WHAT?
Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Democrats won't create the lasting change or tap into the rage of the majority with Schumer and Jeffries in the lead. Centrists won't get it done, no matter how the establishment wills it. The country has radically shifted. The last 10 years is your evidence.

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

Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Democrats who cave to fascist republicans and normalize their chaos, crimes, corruption and immoral agendas aren’t Democrats, they are cowardly traitors who need to be fired from office.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Fighting against Trump isn’t enough. It's time for Democrats to show America what they're fighting FOR — and embrace the fresh, new voices leading the way. This week was a good start. Here's what else they need to do. https://youtu.be/Uzc57eD3cWI?si=fLGGWBf468q4aacc

talk about disenfranchising your own voters

i think the majority of us on here have all been working in some capacity to elect democrats believing they would represent us

what's happening right now is a capitulation to not only the republicans but corporate interests

truly...f*&k is all i can say

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Republicans are going to laugh at Democrats and do nothing on healthcare. They will continue helping Trump fulfill Project 2025.

Dems learn nothing.

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.

They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.

Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

and way to try and do this vote on a sunday...hoping most americans won't be paying attention

nah! dems will remember the 10 senators who are betraying us - ESP right after a positive week of wins for democrats

pretty pissed off right now having to see this happen

💯

he knew he had the 10 votes to get this passed, and he could then vote NO to limit the 'damage' coming his way

sorry SCHUMER, the outrage against your bullsh*t isn't going to stop

I didn’t fight this hard to get to get on the right side of the messaging during this shutdown just to have Democrats capitulate..

If Schumer thought he was unpopular before, he hasn’t seen shit yet..

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??
