“Around 80% of MoveOn members that the group surveyed said that Schumer should quit his leadership position.”

It is time to let someone else take the wheel & lead!

I don't know that I agree that they all caved. But I do agree that some of them took the fall for a larger group of corporate Dems. That's why you have senators who are retiring being willing to vote for this. I wouldn't automatically cheer everyone who voted no. Afterall, Chuck did.
They call caved. It was not just the moderate Democrats.

Ok, I apologize but with new data points @ossoff.senate.gov I amend my offer: call for Chuck Schumer to resign. Then I'll donate.

In theory this deal is days away from getting out of the senate unless they all agree to unanimous consent.

So this isn't over yet.

Just don't send the senators any fucking thank yous for standing strong if you are calling them. My god.

Any D running for Senate in 2026 must vow to oust Schumer as leader. Maybe he would quit

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

DEMAND SCHUMER STEP DOWN❗️
Angus King is an independent but he caucuses with the Dems. There’s a reason of them who voted yes are retiring. It’s likely a bunch more Dems wanted this but ones who face the least consequences fell on the sword. Root out who wanted this. It’s more than 8.
Below are the eight #Democrats who voted to raise health care costs for millions to make it unaffordable. These eight cowardly traitors caved into Republican bullying and sadism and betrayed their constituents. Every one should be primaried.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.
