Sorry what exactly is Corey Booker filibustering? Is there a bill being proposed? A candidate being confirmed? No? So it’s just performative bullshit, got it!

It’s performative and my personal opinion is that because he spent 25 hours and didn’t mention Palestine once and in fact symbolically put on the Israel pin he is angling for Schumer to pass the leadership role to him.

THANK YOU. Where was Booker when Al Green stood up at the SOTU? When Schumer backstabbed the House to pass the GOP CR? When any one of the nominees now tearing things up were up for confirmation? It's an interesting stunt, but that's all it is right now. A show without affecting the status quo.

The value of words fluctuate. Right now, they're extremely cheap. They were worth far more just a couple weeks ago. After the SOTU incident and the stunt Schumer pulled with the budget resolution, excuse me if I'm just little skeptical.

That's an insult to oligarchs. Big Pharma isn't looking to ban SSRIs, or stimulants. Or vaccines. Big money haaates the tariffs. Big Food actually likes things like food stamps because it's basically money for them. If they were truly in charge, things would still be awful, but not crazy.

That just makes the Democrats inaction even more frustrating. Their donors don't want a lot of what Trump's doing. I can understand following the money. But this isn't it. If you have a good explanation for that, then I'll stop dunking on the Dems.

It's this type of nihilism that creates the apathy that allowed trump to sneak back into the white house, if not the first time.

Pretty sure it’s the Biden/Harris administration that got more Palestinians killed. Stop using this dreadful suffering as a stick to beat others with.

You’re wrong. But you already know that. Stop pretending like you’re not complicit, stump. Let’s count the numbers after trump erects his new beachfront luxury resort on the West Bank.

I don’t understand why you think Trump having real estate in Gaza is worse than murdering 40k+ Palestinians. Trump is a bastard but Biden has way more blood on his hands

Netanyahu promised his people the land of Gaza in the summer before October 7th. When Netanyahu visited Trump last month he whispered in his ear 'beachfront property!' to draw flack from Netanyahu's entire culture and ideology is a genocidal land grab

Stein, who has to power in our government, got more people killed than I can imagine, but Democrats, the very ones who wete actively helping to genocide Palestinians, were the answer? You sound like a DV abuser blaming their victim.

No, what allowed him to win was Democrats doing a genocide, cancelling primaries, putting forward a senile candidate, yanking him for his VP last minute, that VP was so weak she dropped out before the first primary in 2020, and then she pitched a stronger border and wall. Dems suck on their own.
apr 1, 2025, 3:33 pm • 38 4 • view
VP dropping out in 2020 ? She couldn’t raise enough money and she knew when to leave, which is more than I can say for Trump and Biden. She was a completely different candidate in 24. Also, America didn’t do genocide. The Israeli’s did, thanks to Bibi’s political needs and imperialist attitude.

Your level of cognitive dissonance is closing in on the Republican levels. "I didn't shoot that kids in the school, I just watched the ones who did, gave the shooter the gun, knowing they'll do it, and then provided them ammo to continue it, and also stopped the cops trying to stop them.

She dropped out because she polled 3rd in her own state, which led to her not raising enough money. In 24, she was different. She moved right to strong borders and lethal militaries. Who gave the Israelis money, weapons, and blocked ceasefire resolutions at the UN? Dems. You are pathetic.

Biden sent weapons every 48 hours. Democrats looked away while our bombs fell on children sleeping in tents. The Democrat party stands for absolutely nothing.

The nihilism of which i speak is the discontent so many like you and the OP express. You capitulate and whine on social media, as though it's supposed to accomplish anything (it doesn't) Try sharing your ideas for improvement with your democratic representatives instead. Or do you not have any?

It's performative as is much of senate procedure. The point is to bring eyes to this. People who have been very apathetic and disengaged are texting me (i live in NJ) asking about this. Gumming up the administrative gears of fascism is one of the ways to obstruct fascism. it's a start, imo
