80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

You are blaming old Schumer for the 8 "Democrats" who voted with the MAGA GOP Senators tonight?

They can literally replace him this week:

For years, Democratic senators have treated public opinion like background noise. Something to acknowledge, not something to obey. Eighty percent of Democratic voters — not Republicans, not “independents,” not a fringe — the base itself is saying it wants new leadership in the Senate. Not because they hate the party. But because they care about it enough to want it to fight harder. And the question isn’t whether senators have seen the polling. They have. They read it. They talk about it among themselves. They know exactly what it means. The real question is whether they believe voters are participants in this project — or just audience. Do Democratic senators think leadership is earned? Or inherited? Do they believe power should respond when people speak? Or only when donors do? Because at some point, ignoring 80% isn’t strategy. It’s contempt. And contempt always ends the same way: With a party that wakes up too late, wondering how it lost the people who were trying to save it.

That was a fast tabulation… source please

I'd like to see @ChrisMurphyCT in that role. He's a much more effective communicator and he can rally unity and enthusiasm. Chuck just doesn't have what Democrats need/want in 2025. By keeping him in past his sell-by date, they risk losing faith in the party.

Wonder how many of those 8 Democratic senators bought stocks on Friday's surprising afternoon rally? $SPX

The democrats who are suffering will remember the people who wanted to let them suffer longer, and just like the Republicans are on the chopping block, so shall they be.

The DNC--now matter how many postures and gesticulations they make about wishing they could just do the right thing and improve working class lives--is not in the business of popular policies. They are in the business of serving the donor class, same as the GOP.
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
No. They know you will all fall in line when told.
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
Please cite the poll you are referencing.

It took a courageous Republican bucking his party to give America affordable healthcare and eight cowardous Democrats bucking their party to give take it away.

No. Republicans kept McConnell forever even though everyone hated him. It’s a secret ballot.

We need to get organized and loud, and make them listen. Make it clear that if they don't take the steps to vote @SenSchumer out, we will vote them out. The process is not hard.

Use the immense energy from No Kings, etc, to push him and the other Senators who voted yes OUT NOW! Make them resign ASAP and don't let up on them anywhere until they do! Don't wait for primaries or them to finish their terms. OUT NOW!

Congress now works for their rich donors. They don’t give a fuck about the people who vote them in. Get them out!

It does not. Our Dem leadership covets power just as the right does. People:call your Senators tmr & tell them we want Schumer out as leader. And keep calling. Do not relent.

That's a good question. I understand how people feel right now with this vote - I did too. But then again I'm not a leader whose constituents are in line at a food pantry bc they can't feed families or unable to pay their bills bc their wages are on hold but still working.
Call @AOC office and ask her to primary @SenSchumer 202-225-3965

This vote tonight showed exactly why new leadership is needed. Their constituents will not be happy and hopefully they will let them know it.

Narrator: it does not
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
Of course not. If 80% of their big donors wanted it, he'd be gone yesterday.

It’s clear Schumer doesn’t have what the party needs right now. I’d love to see Senator Shapiro or Senator Slotkin leading the caucus through these strategic decisions.
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
This is completely sickening… Who could possibly blame us For feeling like old Dems consistently Bluster and crow and betray us? #PrimaryThem. Vote in a new class of Democrats.
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
Dem voters also want 7 Senators immediately expelled from the Caucus. Sanders & King cope perfectly fine as Independents - the 7 Yes voters can do likewise for the remainder of their terms until the retire. Also, perfect excuse to get rid of Fetterman at the same time!

Hear me out. In 2024, Trump killed an immigration bill because he wanted the issue. That is probably the main reason he won. We want MTG's voters pissed off every time they pay their insurance bill.

Playing into their game. If you guys have shown this much outrage at the republicans who removed the ACA in the first place and then refused to negotiate maybe we would not be here. But all you can do is tear your party apart
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
Like democracy matters to the dems or have you forgotten the last 3 POTUS primaries that never happened? 😂🤣😂🤣
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
Democrat voters didn't want kamala, did that matter? 😂
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
Why would it? How long has it been since either party gave a rip about what voters want.They’ve created a system where they all get rich and they don’t need to fuss about those pesky voters.
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
Nah, Dems are glued to their big-government playbook and ignoring everyone. Good thing conservatives are delivering for real Americans.
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
Well the DNC is a business so what the voters want doesn't really mean much

That They actually think THEY were responsible for last Tuesday’s Republican reckoning is prime arrogance and disconnect from their own voters The GOP has proven time and time again, they are not trustworthy.. Johnson said as much

This will cost us the midterms if they don't insist that Schumer step down as leader. What cultishness is keeping them tethered to Schumer when we all have had enough and are ready to move independent?

They have dug in so hard they prefer to continue losing to Nazis like Trump rather than listening to their own voters!!!!!
Replying to @RonFilipkowski
They got a guy, representing the nation’s largest bloc of voters, who has been leading them forever. Who do voters suggest as a replacement?
