Senator Jeanne Shaheen just threw the minority leader under the bus.
Senator Jeanne Shaheen revealed that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer knew the entire time about the plan for a few Democrats to capitulate to Republicans on the government shutdown.
Shaheen, one of the seven Democrats (and one independent) who dropped their demand for a guaranteed extension of Obamacare subsidies, spoke to Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade on Monday morning.
Aside from serving as further proof that the Democrats are failing to act as an opposition party in any meaningful way, Shaheen’s comments also reveal one of two possible scenarios. Either Schumer was scheming to end the shutdown behind the scenes, only pretending to be against it while pinning the blame on the eight people who aren’t up for reelection anytime soon, or he has no control over his party. Either way, it proves the need for Democrats to jettison the minority leader.
Billionaires are desperate to turn people away from the Dem party, because they can’t buy the next Dem presidential primary.
You’re pissed at Schumer? Good, he’s a giant ineffectual piece of shit
But now that he doesn’t have a corrupt DNC behind him, his days in office are numbered. So are the rest of the neoliberals and especially the ones who voted with republicans.
Don’t blame the party for what single digit number of assholes did. And definitely don’t leave the party by refusing to vote in Dem primaries.
Even if there’s nothing that could ever make you vote D in the general again, vote in every D primary and pull them left as hard as you can.
The only way neoliberals get the DNC back, is if people don’t vote in the next Dem presidential primary, a neoliberal squeaks thru, and if they become president, they name a neoliberal chair.
And neoliberals aren’t above sabotaging the Dem party to get the reins back.
It like the buy/sell ads for gold…
When billionaire owned media shits on the Dem party, it means the DNC is against billionaires.
When billionaire owned media supports the Dem party, it’s because they own it
Its not single digit. If 8 guys sold out there are way more behind them.
THE DNC DOES NOT WANT TO OPPOSE THE GOP
Otherwise they would have their canidates oppose them in a meaningful way. They wouldn’t support right wing ideologies.
