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.

    This is TDD we’re talking about. One of the louder more prominent blue maga screechers. Who still hasn’t realized or just doesn’t care that they were made a fool of and used. That has massive dreams and whose failures are even larger than those dreams. Blasting themselves in the foot all the way down.

    TDD is third party ride or die. They know that that is where it’s at. They’re only 7% away from breaking 10% in national elections that’s so close! Only another 40 to 50% for them to win an election. That’s practically nothing! Why would anyone want to reclaim the Democratic party. Use it’s brand recognition and reputation with the average person build strength and coalition. It’s got cooties! /S

    That’s the level of logic you’ll get in any responses from them.
