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.

    I would go into the game theory and political theory of this, but I fear you wouldn’t understand that either.

    It’s OK, if it happens, things would be so beyond fucked to get us to that point that it’s less of a “third party” and more of a “survivors” scenario.

          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.
