Insurance companies already raised premiums based on their expectation fewer people will be enrolled because of the big bill kicking people off Medicaid. Yes not renewing credits makes it worse but Iโ€™m already priced out.

The kind of leadership we donโ€™t need is schumerโ€™s. He has the arrogance to think he can ride this out. We need leaders who will prove him wrong.

I ask you to stay in the fight by having the courage to recognize we need new leadership. Sticking with Schumer makes everything else you say ring hollow.

Under chuck schemerโ€™s leadership I will lose access to healthcare. I expected this from republicans but am enraged for the role played by his ineptitude as minority leader. Call for his resignation, he had nothing to offer.

I can say the same of you.

I wonder how you feel when trump and republicans predictably screw over your state after you โ€œchanged tacticsโ€. You thinking anything positive comes from your actions shows you to be a fool.

Save the party from itself, oust schumer

You should have resigned before you lost your ability to have sound judgement. You got conned and the country pays the price.

The only chance for the party to regain any legitimacy is to oust Schumer. Thank you for not endorsing him. We need leadership for the country over loyalty to the old guard.

What is your red line for Schumer? Country over party, he has to go.

10.11.2025 19:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

If schumer isnโ€™t held accountable there is no hope for the party.

10.11.2025 19:56 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 7    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The only way for the party to regain even the slimmest margin of legitimacy, is for Schumer to go.

You know what wonโ€™t help the airlines? When trump fires air traffic controllers and pushed for unqualified replacements. You know what else wonโ€™t help? When people canโ€™t afford to take trips because they are drowning in medical debt. Greed and selfishness is always short sighted.

So, weโ€™re all boycotting flying for the holidays now, right? Because Iโ€™m pretty sure Iโ€™m losing my healthcare just so people donโ€™t have to have the sads at the airport.

Every democrat senator making a statement about voting no is just performative. It shows no courage to vote no because it comes with no real risk. Courage would be standing up and voting to oust Schumer in favor of real leadership that represents us.

10.11.2025 17:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We need more than you voting no, we need new leadership in the party. We had a blue wave last week and then surrendered. All the renewed hope from the people who could elect a democrat for president is lost. Voting no is not brave, voting out Schumer shows real courage.

10.11.2025 17:50 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Your statement reads hollow as long and you support Schumer. Eight democrats donโ€™t vote for this without involving leadership and they even said so on fox.

I just read that with a Brooklyn accent and seemed fine to me.

This is devastating and the only path forward is to oust Schumer. Heโ€™s failed to lead since trump took office and we donโ€™t stand a chance as long as he is the minority leader. We need leaders who will represent and fight for us.

When you cave to the people who will weaponize hunger you empower them to go further next time. Your vote gets trump one step closer to completing his dismantling of democracy.

So was voting on the spending bill but that didnโ€™t stop you. Nuclear bombs are terrifying but itโ€™s more likely people in your state die from being unable to see a doctor or go bankrupt from medical debt.

Your surrender will result in no gain for the people in your state. Even with the government open trump will push to take away food stamps and because of democrats like you, he knows he can more easily make it happen. So now people will go hungry and then die a preventable death with your vote.

10.11.2025 04:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 5    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Every democrat who voted no proved they want to extend the ACA tax credits more than you. Every person commenting on your feed wants to extend tax credits more than you. The shit my cat took wants to extend tax credits more than you. People will die preventable deaths and know you played a part.

10.11.2025 04:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Itโ€™s not a deal, negotiation or compromise when one side is left with nothing. Even if some future vote happens it will either fail or be to repeal the ACA. Youโ€™ve betrayed your constituents who are going to lose health care and sold out the country.

10.11.2025 04:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Letโ€™s make it even more explicit as republicans do not understand. This vote means people wonโ€™t be able to see a doctor, receive treatment for serious diseases, avoid bankruptcy from endless medical debt. People will get sick and die because of this vote.

10.11.2025 03:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Support your vote as one of millions who will lose access to health care next year. Our lives are worth more than chuck Schumerโ€™s job. Vote him out.

Guarantees a vote that is guaranteed to fail. Utterly pathetic you caved on this vote.

10.11.2025 03:28 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It is insulting youโ€™ve pinned this post claiming you are fighting against trump and then vote for a spending package that gives us nothing. Itโ€™s pathetic and we will all suffer for your failure.

Iโ€™m glad my representatives are voting no but we also need to fight for new leadership in the party. Schumer is not capable of rising up to this moment and to fail risks the lives of millions of Americans.
