1. Schumer allowed the Yes votes to happen. He did not stop them. He's simply in CYA mode by voting No.

[Eko]

3. How can he stop them? They are free to vote how they want.

[LonePirate]

9. A good leader keeps his party united. He either wanted the deal and/or he's a weak leader. Take your pick.

[johnnyfins]

36. WEAK LEADER

[TheFarseer]

13. Exactly Right. Nt

[leftstreet]

2. You're telling DUers to shut up?

[yellow dahlia]

34. I think he is still playing the game around the midterms.

That was his initial game plan when the take over and destruction started happening.

I have said numerous times - he is not the leader for the moment.

[sdaz]

33. Someone was told Fuck you on another post

[Buckeyeblue]

14. Agreed. He is no linger the leader of anything.

He needs to resign from the Senate tomorrow.

[gab13by13]

5. Yup,

And we didn’t know what Merrick Garland was doing behind the scenes.

[FoxNewsSucks]

11. Garland is still working on it, we just need to keep being more patient

[FHRRK]

31. Us progressives need to shut up

We just don’t know enough or have patience, to which I say, FUCK OFF!

[FoxNewsSucks]

6. He's the leader, he's caved before, and he knew his yes vote wasn't needed.

We don't have to shut up, and it's NOT US hurting the party, it's the ones stabbing us in the back who are doing that. Repeatedly.

[gab13by13]

28. Yup, Schumer orchestrated the killing of the filibuster back in March

so that the CR could be passed back then when Democrats were prepared to take a stand.

[Emile]

7. Please stop it!

[RockRaven]

8. So he is merely an impotent leader then?...

Well, glad that got cleared up.

[Nanjeanne]

10. Sorry. Won't. And probably not a great idea for you to tell anyone here to Shut Up.

[NewHendoLib]

12. are you feeling lonely tonight in the center?

[leftstreet]

17. LOL

[Eko]

20. No, I'm pretty far left. I'm just glad our party fought so hard and people saying things

harmful to our party with no evidence at all,,, I dont have time for that.

[vercetti2021]

23. Fought hard?

Lmao reaching hard for that one

[Eko]

26. Longest shutdown ever?

[angrychair]

42. We literally got nothing

The deal to pay people and review the RIFs is already federal law.
The ACA subsidies vote? They have no reason to honor that now.

That means they now know which buttons to push to break Democrats will to fight.

More importantly, they have now broke them twice in a row. Do you really think that Democrats will let the government shut down a third time at the end of January? Hell no. They mean Republicans will get everything they want because Democrats will not risk another shutdown for no other reason then to avoid the embarrassment of when we cave for a third time.

[Eko]

48. The longest shutdown ever is not fighting hard?

[vercetti2021]

54. Yeah it isnt

But whatever you keep supporting the controlled opposition

[Eko]

55. So if the longest fight over a shutdown is not fighting hard

then closing a government over something is not a fight at all.
Is that what you are saying?
You would not use length as a measure of it?
So the shortest and the longest are the same?
You think that the party that closed the government is thought about the same way on the first day as the 60th?
Length, even historic length, doesnt matter.
So then why comment on here at all as this is about criticism of our senate leader over the government not opening.

[Eko]

57. You have problems.

[BigMin28]

58. Not

When you walk away empty handed. Trusting repukes on anything is insanity, at this point.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

46. Yes, We The People fought hard, donated money, marched in the streets,

canvassed neighborhoods, handed the Dems a mandate to resist the tyranny of the repig party this last Tues. just to have these certain Sen. Democrats betray us, so pardon me if I call BS on your thread, respectfully of course.
Peace out
Dan.

[Eko]

47. My BS thread never said anything about the ones that betrayed us.

It specifically talked about one that did not, repeatedly, until the end and that we should not betray him.
Keep on keeponing

[MarineCombatEngineer]

49. You're telling us that are criticizing Sen. Schumer to shut up,

I'm responding to you telling us to shut up, don't like it? Tough, deal with it.
I think I've been pretty respectful to you so far, but respect only goes so far.
Peace out
Daniel

[Eko]

51. Ya, you are criticizing him for something he did not do.

You dont like me telling you to shut up, tough deal with it.
Arent you a marine? Cant deal with some flack back?
You are saying things about one of our party leaders that you have no way of knowing is true that is damaging to our party. Its just some fucking opinion not even based on a rumor that you have,
Better check yourself.

[Eko]

53. Seriously man, you are here on a Democratic web site pushing conspiracy theories about our Senate leader.

That are harmful. And I'm in the wrong, lol.

[question everything]

52. And only few days after we celebrated our "blue wave.". How soon we (some of us) forget

[LW1977]

15. He caved

[Jersey Devil]

16. At the very least he could have insisted the vote take place tomorrow or Tuesday and made public statements

against the "deal" to put pressure on those voting with the Repubs. He did nothing.

[Eko]

21. He has no power to change that.

[Sewa]

19. HELL fucking NO!!!

Schumer is the one hurting the Democratic Party. 😏💀

[Eko]

22. By voting no?

[edhopper]

24. The sole job of the Senate leader

Is to keep his Party in line. He failed.

[quakerboy]

25. Thanks anyway

Democrats caved. Schumer is not up leading the party, He should step aside.

[pimpbot]

27. no you shut up

What a waste of a thread.

[choie]

30. The truth hurts.

You're in denial if you think tis was done without Schumers connivance.

[FHRRK]

32. Shut up!

Using the immortal words of Jon Stewart,……FUCK OFF!

[NoRethugFriends]

35. Sorry, you don't understand how this works.

I'm guessing if you watch Lawrence O'donnell tomorrow, he'ss explain it to you.

[Eko]

38. I will, and Ill come back and talk to you about it.

[PlanetPolitics]

37. Big mistake

Pelosi would have told Thune to stick it whilst keeping Dem's in line. Shumer ain't no Pelosi.

[ColoringFool]

40. "Just shut up"? JUST SHUT UP?! YOU DARE????!!!!

Whoa, Nelly. Them's fightin' words.

[Eko]

45. Put up your dukes put up your dukes!

Ha Ha.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

41. Yeah, uh, NOI!!!

That is all.

[pat_k]

43. Herding Democrats is TOUGH because we are DIVERSE: Our greatest frustration, and our greatest strength

44. Leaders Lead. Excellent baseball managers get fired when the team loses repeatedly. I WANT WINNERS.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220788892
Enjoy.

[Eko]

50. Ok, what was winning?

I would argue that the only winning for us was showing the American populace that we were willing to fight for this like no one had ever fought for something during a shutdown.
We did that.
A historically long effort.
I did not expect in any way that the republican party was going to cave in.
They do not give a fuck.
Do you agree with that?
If you can argue that giving people health care is more important than feeding people and paying people please do so.
Cause it all kinda seems the same shit.
I certainly cant argue the opposite is in any way good.

[usedtobedemgurl]

59. Ahhh, free speech.

It is good for thee to announce to shut up, but it is not good for the folks who were trying to exercise their free speech. Gotcha'. Good for thee but not for me.
