The following Democrats [and one independent] voted to advance the Republican continuing resolution, which was backed by President Donald Trump:
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
- Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
- Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
- Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii
- Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois
- Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
- Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
- Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
- Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
- Senator Angus King of Maine, an independent who frequently caucuses with Democrats
Traitors. Get rid of all of them.
Cuck Schumer primary assfuck him immediately
unfortunately he cant be removed till the end of his term, but he can be removed as senate minority leader, immediately, and removed from all his committees. Lets see if the dems have the stones to do that. If they dont, they are all complicit.
They’ll get riiiiight on that
not
Call your senator and ask them to remove him
This was the only bit of leverage democrats had, the future of US democracy now lies with the judiciary, any future elections will be a farce.
The judiciary that is irreparably compromised already?
Many Democrat peers are urging AOC to do just that.
How would she be able to do that?
It’s as complicated as filing two short forms with the FEC and raising a minimum of $5,000 specifically for a senate campaign.
So to answer your question, she would file 2 forms with the FEC + have someone give her $5k.
She can run for Schumer’s seat. She lives in NY, she’s been a citizen for over 9 years, and she’s over 30 years old. Those are the qualifications.
Schumer isn’t up for re-election.
He will be eventually. That’s the process to primary him.
His current term ends on January 3, 2029.
Today is March 14, 2025.
Buddy we’re in this mess specifically because the dems dragged their feet on doing something about trump and waited until the last minute to sic the courts on him, the earlier they do things the better.
So today is the perfect time to start planning a campaign to replace them, the second best time being tomorrow.
At which point she could primary him. No one is saying this will happen overnight.
He’s not up for re election.
Primary everyone on this list.
This is exactly what the right wing has done over a couple decades and it’s worked fine for them. People either lost their seats or got so scared of the constant opposition they fell in line.
Let’s not water down the term “traitor” during, well… you know.
As a very dumb person, is what the Dems that voted for this said wrong? Is there a chance that Asshat Trump and his Billionaire Butt Buddy would go on an unchecked rampage without Congress in session? Or is that just bull crap? I don’t know enough about how everything works when congress shuts down.
No, that is the flimsiest of excuses. First of all, how could the presidents rampage more beyond what has already transpired? Secondly, republicans love to throw tantrums and shut down the govt all the time. This wouldn’t be much different except it would show the dems are actually willing to fight with the tools they have. Unfortunately, Schumer’s maneuver shows they are not. It’s beyond pathetic.
