Cory Booker at the moment filibustering at the senate as a protest against the whole trump administration . He is speaking for as long as he is physically able too, as stated by him in the CSPAN clip, https://www.c-span.org/clip/us-senate/sen-cory-booker-d-nj-starts-speaking-in-senate-for-as-long-as-i-am-physically-able/5158775
Here is an article that states why he is on the senate floor if you need clarification https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/31/politics/booker-senate-floor-speech-trump-protest/index.html
Just a big 12 hour pile of Democratic bullshit instead of action.
Why isn’t he out there like Bernie and AOC, drawing huge crowds that scare the bejeezus out of the MAGA Nazis?
The Dems could easily take back this country if they would show the slightest bit of courage and strength. At their core, Americans are soft, lazy, and cowardly, and all they want is someone they feel will protect them from all the bad stuff in the world, and the Conservative Propaganda Machine is happy to invent one murderous threat after another who is going to rape, murder, amd eat your family.
Republicans are the most cowardly of all, afraid of literally EVERYTHING, so they are so easy to manipulate that they will vote for literally the worst possible candidate on the entire planet, over a democratic candidate that they’ve been Pavlovian Conditioned to despise with their entire being.
If Dems showed some brass balls, and played Hard Ball, they would start to attract loyalty and numbers to their side. Instead, they allow that simpering, weak, spineless weenie Chuck Schumer to represent them, the same guy who bowed to a MAGA smear campaign and forced out Al Franken, one of their most talented Senators, and a solid potential presidential candidate. Had he not been betrayed by Schumer and that backstabbing bitch Gillibrand, FRANKEN would have beaten HitlerPig in 2020 instead of Biden, and HitlerPig and his hebchmen would be in prison, and MAGA would be ashes.
He’s doing this for the exact same reason Bernie and AOC are - to generate headlines and display that people by and large are not okay with what the Trump administration is doing. There is nothing actually actionable from the rallies (or very, very little). And sadly at the moment there’s very little that can be done to actually stop Trump’s plans. It’s important therefore that Democrats continue to passionately, loyalty, and most importantly eye-catchingly continue to protest however they can.
This is more a play to take over Chuck Schumer’s role as Senate Minority Leader. Its one day in the news cycle, and it’s forgotten.
The MAGA Nazis aren’t afraid of some corporate Democrat with a history of appeasement. A crowd of 35,000 for Bernie and AOC scares the shit out of the Traitors far more.
A crowd here and there of 35,000 isn’t nearly enough. It needs to be crowds of hundreds of thousands in hundreds of places at once. And the only way you get there is a massive increase in faith that the elected Democrats will actually do something. This performance (because I will concede that it’s just a performance) is exactly the kind of act that increases that faith.
The bigger crowds have to start somewhere, amd this is a good start. Many people see crowds like that, and the next opportunity they get, they go, too. Also, people who have been told that MOST Americans are hard-right MAGA Nazis, see crowds like that, and start to realize they’re being lied to.
Get ready to be downvoted into oblivion for being smart enough to realize talking gets us nowhere.
That was my comment at the 12 hour remark. When it was over, I realized that he was auditioning for Chuck Schumer’s job, and laying out what the Democratic agenda would be under his leadership. And he did it while looking like a strong leader, unlike that spineless, weak, simpering weenie Schumer.
LOL Bernie and AOC, right
