Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
First Past The post voting is the reason weak candidates run for political office. No competition.
Do better, but don't ever consider what it means to actually do better, also don't actually do it.
American politics are a clown show
Except half the clowns think we didn't hire them to jump through flaming hopes. Get jumping, ya bozos.
A lot of words and no actions.. until Schumer steps down Democrats have learned nothing and have nothing new to offer. If you want us to believe you have changed show us don't tell us.
Cory booker is probably an even more virulent zionist than Schumer. He's been pro israel, and anti-palestine his entire career.
He could always demonstrate his regret by stepping down and letting someone else take over his position LOL
Anyone know what he is filibustering?
There's is no particular vote that he is fillibustering, he is just doing it because he can.
The NYT also theorized that he wanted to do this at some point anyway, because the record for longest continuous speech in the Senate is currently held by Strom Thurmond, while fillibustering the ~~1967~~ 1957 Civil Rights bill, and Booker wanted to top it. He only has an hour or two to go to get there.
NPR also mentioned that there just hadn't been that much going on to filibuster. Nominations, sure, but Congress has been mostly taking a back seat to the presidency, for better or worse given executive actions aren't as permanent as Congressional law.
He's not filibustering. He's grandstanding.
Just holding the floor
LOL
Their words are worthless.
Do something meaningful. At minimum, replace Jeffries and Schumer as leaders, and make it abundantly and publicly clear you did so because of capitulation to fascism.
He's literally "Do better, senator"-ing himself 🤯. Very meta.
Thank you for saying this Cory. All other democrats who don't take up this message can bite my balls. At least this guy seems ok or at least conscious.
