Summary

Democratic divisions intensified as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy Pelosi sharply criticized Chuck Schumer for supporting a Republican-led funding bill to avoid a government shutdown.

AOC called Schumer's decision a "betrayal," urging Senate Democrats to reject the legislation backed by Trump and Elon Musk. Pelosi called the bill a "devastating assault" on working families.

Schumer defended his stance, arguing a shutdown would empower Trump and Musk further.

The controversy sparked suggestions among Democrats that AOC might challenge Schumer in a primary.

Leave the Democratic party AOC, and enough people will follow that we can maybe actually make a difference.

The same New York Democrat machine behind all the establishment Democrats put AOC there too. Meet the new boss same as the old boss.

The Republicans need at least 7 Democrats to side with them on cloture. Schumer is just going to embarrass himself if he votes for cloture and enough Dems hold out for it to fail.

Honestly, I hope it happens. He needs to own this shit all by himself. Get fucked Chuck.

[-] Xanza@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

This would ultimately be the best case scenario, which is why I don't think it'll happen. I highly suspect that they'll get the votes they need to pass the CR--which is incredibly unfortunate.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
