Furious Democrats Call for Schumer to Be Replaced After Shutdown Cave

Leftists, including some elected officials, reacted with apoplectic rage Monday after eight Senate Democrats caved to Senate Republicans by agreeing to vote to end the lengthy government shutdown.

And while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer didn’t appear to be directly responsible, as it seemed the eight had negotiated a deal behind his back, the blame for the massive concession was still flowing his way.

“Despite voting against the deal, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is emerging as the top target for not containing the defections,” Axios confirmed, citing the words of a a number of lawmakers.

“Schumer is voting no,” a senior House Democrat told the outlet. “But that doesn’t mean [a] primary [challenge is] not coming.”

IMHO - They are coming apart at the seams because they eat their own.

Democratic unity fractures, paving the way for the government to reopen

Enough Democrats caved.

A Sunday night Senate deal may be on the verge of resolving the longest government shutdown on record — after a group of moderate Democrats dropped their key demand — a guaranteed extension of Obamacare subsidies.

The agreement opened the way for a Senate vote in which eight Democratic defectors voted to break the filibuster and to clear the first hurdle to reopening the government after nearly six weeks. Their move will offer relief to millions of Americans whose lives have been severely disrupted by the shutdown.

This is civil war. Between the Saubders/AOC/Mamdami/OccupyWashington faction of the Democratic Party and the slightly less woke faction. One battle finished but the war is escalating. The fury is palpable.

And for those Americans who rely on those health care subsidies to be able to afford health insurance.

But Republicans "promise" to allow a vote to permanently extend those subsidies, so we'll see how that turns out. Maybe this time Lucy won't pull the football away, right?

-- A2SG, right???

He’s too old for office. The Dems need to get people who are below 52 into their leadership positions.

Yes.

So why make it sound like you're complaining? You should be celebrating the loss of health care subsidies for people very much need them, like the rest of the Republican party.

-- A2SG, "crumble" seemed like an odd word choice for something you were happy to see happen....
