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.

    No…what you said literally made no sense. Have a good rest of your weekend.

        Well now you’re just trying too hard. Your trolling has no subtlety.

        Don’t worry you’ll grow up one day

          Lemmy is not a reddit cesspool. Let’s be adults here.

          I have a bachelor’s and master’s in this. My commentary is not some “trolling” attempt, this is a relativly informed, yet frustrated, opinion. We don’t have to agree, yet I feel like you’re not presenting an honest or forthright response.

            Why would I present an honest or forthright response when you’re calling me “kiddo”? Are you joking? Do you have amnesia or something?
