Complete meltdown. Complete and utter meltdown on all text chains," said the member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to offer sensitive details of members’ internal conversations.
A senior House Democrat said “people are furious” and that some rank-and-file members have floated the idea of angrily marching onto the Senate floor in protest.

“People are PISSED,” one House Democrat told Axios in a text message.
Several members — including moderates — have begun voicing support for a primary challenge to Schumer, floating Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) as possible candidates, three House Democrats said.
One lawmaker even vowed at the House Democratic retreat to “write a check tonight” supporting Ocasio-Cortez, said the senior House Democrat
Another Democrat told Axios the ideation has gone a step further: “There is definitely a primary recruitment effort happening right now … not just Schumer, but for everyone who votes no.”

Said one member: “Folks are still working the phones tonight with their senators. We have not given up.”
Tell them you want Schumer out. Tell them you want a real progressive in charge. Tell them you want a progressive party that fights like hell for the people. Tell them that you will personally work to help primary them out if they don’t grow a fucking spine.
Raising your voice costs you nothing, so just fucking do it.
I don’t give a fuck about your magical third party that’s going to manifest from the ether. You can still do that, no one is stopping you.
But right now you have an opportunity to capitalize on this outrage and possibly make a real, meaningful change.

Even the fucking centrists that no doubt had to fight every instinct to capitulate. All for nothing if Schumer just folds like a wet napkin. Again.
You are in their thoughts and prayers.
and maybe some ‘slammings’ and some pink hats or colored wrist bands.
Now now, they’ve moved on to auction paddles.
