Not really, this wasn't a functional filibuster. A filibuster is supposed to hold up a vote, and either wear down the opposition, or force concessions in the bill. This wasnt attached to a bill, it was just an opportunity to grab the mic, and score political points with the voters.
The objective was for Cory Booker to audition for Chuck Schumer's job by laying out what the Democratic agenda would look like under Booker's leadership, including exhibiting strength. Does anyone believe that the simpering, spineless, weakling Schumer could have spoken like that for even an hour, no less 24?
It is long past time for Schumer to go. Nobody on either side, anywhere in the government, respects him. He's used his position to gain enormous wealth, and now that his weakness has helped MAGA to gain power and destroy our nation, he STILL wants to hang around and pad his bank account. What other reason could there be? He certainly isn't offering ANY opposition to the Nazis, just appeasement and compliance.
I've hated him with a white-hot passion ever since he cooperated with the Republican smear campaign against Al Franken, destroying his career and his life, just so he could clear the decks for his friend Gillibrand to run for president. Then her camaign flamed out in weeks. They ruined Al Franken's life for NOTHING. Fuck this Vichy piece of shit.
If he was in front of me, I would happily say all of this to his stupid Nazi collaborator face. I wish I had that chance.
Schumer needs to go, and make way for AOC, and let Booker run the show. I'm not a huge fan of Booker, but he's light-years ahead of Schumer.
Great situational awareness. Ignore the vote on NATO head in the senate a minute after the filibuster. Ignore the election in Wisconsin we have won against Elons money, and ignore the votes in Florida.
Sure it was worthless what ever you say. I’m over here this topic.
Booker beat the record for longest filibuster on the Senate floor, which was held by a racist, southern fucker beforehand. That itself should be celebrated.
But go off. I didn’t read the last one. Feel free to drop another long one.
You're the type of shallow thinker I was referring to. Excited that he gave a big speech and stuck it to a dead racist, instead of understanding what was really going on here.
Well go on, happy to hear what I'm missing.
I already made my case, but your response was:
So I won't waste my time with you any further.
