Privately, many Senate Democrats conceded that their leader was doing his job by protecting his members from a tough vote and making a politically painful decision. But the backlash from his party was intense.
He doesn’t need to take bullets, he just need to take the exit, and get out.
Interesting phrasing to use as a large figure publicly fucking over the entire country…
Yeah it’s the kind of talk that would get you banned over at Redditd
Shumer: The greatest gift to Trump/Musk/MAGA destroying America would be a government shutdown.
Trump: Thank you for voting against shutdown.
Since he’s willing to take the bullets, someone should be sending them.
Appropriate. And please.
Can’t they vote his ass off of leader?
yes, people living in states with Dem senators should pester their reps to push for more progressive leadership and get chuck out. there are a few people with integrity and drive to actually fight but they have been pushed aside by mainstream (out of touch) rich assholes like Schumer for too damn long
Yes they can
Yes but it won’t change the scope of his influence as minority leader. He can still vote the way he does, ask others to join him.
Let’s hope.
At the rate things are progressive, that might be more literal than he intended it to be. Stay safe, Senator.
What good does that do for Americans?
Not a damn thing, I don’t mean it as a threat. I’m just reading the writing on the wall.

So nice that our elected officials would rather get shot than follow the will of their constituents
