Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

Why?

Because an algorithm said so. 1/

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

Ignore your constituents at your own Peril @senatedemocrats.bsky.social We the People are a NO, NO, NO and @chuckschumer.com has to go immediately!
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Warner and Hickenlooper have videos up where they say they are no's on cloture, a good sign that grassroots pressure is working; hit them with some positive reinforcement.

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.
