In March, after Schumer last surrendered, we called an emergency meeting of Indivisible leaders. 92% told us to call on him to step down from leadership (which we did).
In a poll over this weekend, 98.67% said we should keep up the fight.
Rank & file Dems are going to be PISSED!

Either way, so many Dems... the bulk of the Senate caucus, House leadership, governors, etc.,... all quickly throwing down the gauntlet with such open unrestrained attacks on any Dems who cave is new. It wasn't like that in March, not nearly as loud and widespread and immediate, much more base-only.

Good question. Will Sen. Mark Warner now press for minority leader Schumer to step down?
Warner is up for reelection. He was widely seen driving towards surrender behind the scenes, but he's voting no in public because it's unpopular. The real question is whether he supports a senate leadership change. If not, someone who supports senate leadership change should primary him.
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.

It is indeed a cataclysmic failure. Democrats in the Senate - not only the 8 who voted "yes" (including our Sen. Kaine) who are not up for an election anytime soon, but also no-voting minority leader Schumer and perhaps other Dems who managed to distance themselves from this coalition of 8.
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

To learn why the bill our VA senators are ready to support is terrible, listen to this quick speech from Sen. Bernie Sanders. Kaine and Warner are trading something for nothing. Contact them now. See contact info in our other posts.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.
I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.
But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

MSNBC just reported that Senator #TimKaine says he is a YES on this awful bill. So, he as well as Sen Warner definitely needs to hear from each of us. National Indivisible has condemned this bill, as have House Dems. Contact info will be posted in a comment below.
Take notice, everyone! Call our Virginia senators.
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

What Sen Warner appears ready to support by caving in on the shutdown: “trading something for nothing.” We agree, Rep. Doggett!
Afternoon reports that some Democratic Senators may yield completely to Republican demands in return for the mere scheduling of a December vote to keep premiums affordable for those relying upon the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This would represent trading something for nothing.

From national Indivisible. Please contact VA senators now.
🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”
That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Sen. Mark Warner is one of the Dems apparently ready to fold. 202-224-2023.
John Fetterman, Angus King, Maggie Hassan, Dick Durbin, Jon Ossoff, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten Gillibrand, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, and of course Chuck Schumer. Maybe others not top of mind. Not all responsible will publicly vote for the cave - that's not how this works.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

MAGA leaders are going to try to sabotage next year’s election - AND much more. We won a key battle in Virginia and nationally, but it’s not time for people to go home and consider it done. Now we have to use the advantages we seized. That includes steadily pushing electeds to follow through.
serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them
really obvious now why trump and the republican party have been working so hard to prevent fair elections lol they know

If Jason Miyares remains as Virginia Attorney General, we lose. Expect him to obstruct the Democratic governor and General Assembly we must elect on Tuesday. Expect him to enable Trump's whims. Please vote FOR Democrat Jay Jones and vote Miyares OUT.
