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.'"

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.

I was in no way suggesting Booker replace Schumer. I want Booker and the other democrats to pressure Schumer to step down.

He's literally "Do better, senator"-ing himself 🤯. Very meta.

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.

Anyone know what he is filibustering?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

He's not filibustering. He's grandstanding.

What happens when he needs to take a shit?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

He probably has a diaper and a catheter. The rules don't let him sit or leave to use the bathroom.

He uses a diaper, then sells it online and sends the cash to Israel.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Ew, capitalism. That diaper could have been put to good use as fertilizer instead.

I will be honest, I would have run out of things to say after one hour if I am in his position.

Kudos to Booker!

New headline: One of Murica's leading zionists shits himself publicly during pointless 24 hour talkathon. Booker signs and sells senate diapers to raise money for Israel to kill more Muslims.

Glad to see the turning of sentiment within the DNC. Perhaps Chuck Schumer got the message that people want him gone and is trying to stay wanted. Or maybe he is worried a third party will galvanize a voting bloc and take money from the Dems.

Ultimately this is a good thing as it shows a fire and regret in the same speech. Finally nice to see democracy start returning to the Democrats.
