    Chuck Schumer felt that he had to vote yes to continue operating the government even though REPUBLICANS wrote a bill that PUSHES US TOWARDS AUTHORITARIANISM.

    I don’t like Chuck Schumer but he is better than 100% of Republicans and this vote only occurred because of Republicans.

        You’ve displayed complete ignorance of policy stances and vote histories in the US Congress. Even if you did think Schumer was a right of center goon, he’s absolutely incomparable with a Republican.

        Even if every single representative was another Chuck Schumer, this kind of bill would never come to pass without at least 41 Republicans, 50 if reconciliation were an option.

        Now, Chuck Schumer should be primaried. But if Chuck Schumer wins that Primary, then people in his district better be smart enough to vote for him, because at that point their won’t be any better options.
