There are damned few heroes, and no, Cory Booker isn’t one of them.
I liked him before he came to Congress, but in office he’s been a blah, one of many worthless Dems, and dead wrong on numerous issues — including Gaza.
I’ll give him kudos for the longwinded speech, without even any snark, but it only added up to a day’s delay. To actually be effective, he should’ve yielded the floor to another Democrat who’d filibuster, and then another. Where are the rest of the Dems? For that matter, where was Booker until Monday night?
Leftist purity culture is the best tool the fascists have.
He did more than you ever have, and that’s saying… well, practically nothing I guess.
Get over it and enjoy the fact that someone is doing anything.
You’d have a point if Cory Booker was some random working class guy but Cory Booker is a senator and we have to hold him to a higher standard.
And filibustering to interfere with the current system is bad? Or is it good and we should encourage this?
What did he do exactly? He gave a speech right? Is that groundbreaking? What has he accomplished exactly?
And you were in the news pushing against Trump’s policies … When?
Pretending to be leftists is the best tool fascists have.
Are you glad he cost you the election?
I didn’t realize he made 15 million previous Biden supporters not vote for a black woman. How’d he do that?
It’s really hard to care a ton about a war a world away when Trump is quite literally melting our government and economy from the inside out. I guess that’s part of the plan, but the people that didn’t vote for Kamala because of Palestine are partially to blame for Trump returning to power.
The fall of American empire is good though?
To some extent yes but this is going to hurt 90% of the world population one way or another.
I fear that may be part of the point. In truth, we’re all just Trump’s victims
Yeah ok… blame this on the people with a conscience. Liberals stay losing.
Hey since I know counting is hard which number is bigger 1 or 2?
Because personally I think less genocides are better than more but if you think differently keep winning accelerationist.
you can’t afford things and parents in gaza are collecting their children’s body parts in ziplock bags so that they have something to bury; they’re totally on the same level and fuck those people who didn’t want to be complicit with that genocide.
If you keep suffering maybe you will learn to develop develop empathy.
The right most of all want to be recognised as centrists, so when the overton window eventually shifts they can safely genocide everyone else without being labelled directly as fascists
I also saw that while he was on his feet making himself visible, the committee that he normally chairs was digging into the same tech bros who put money in his pocket.
It’s no wonder that American voters didn’t want to vote for the Bourgeois Liberal Party, even though the alternative was literal Fascism.

Well, they’re proud now. In the time we have left.
The Democrats have constantly misread the situation very badly. For the typical voter, not the bourgeois liberals, not the MAGA brain-rotted dummies but the average poor working class voter the choice was:
-
Vote Liberal Bourgeois and maybe things might tick along for another couple of years with the rich bourgeois liberals profiting off you and telling you how good you’ve got it
-
Vote Trump, you’ll definitely be fucked but all the bourgeois liberals will be fucked as well.
I mean sanity suggests that the first offer meets the self-preservation criteria better but it’s not what you call an attractive offer, is it?
Vote Trump, you’ll definitely be fucked but all the bourgeois liberals will be fucked as well.
How do you figure?
I don’t understand the question.
How do you figure that the bourgeois liberals will be fucked?
I can’t pretend that I know for a 100% sure that they will be. But the signs are not great. Also Tax Cuts for the Rich didn’t go all that well when Liz Truss tried it here in the UK.
The “offer” was sane, competent, if not luxury-gay-space-communism government vs. chaos, insanity, and death.
That was the “offer”.
If sane and competent gets you a decline in living standards year on year then it ain’t all that attractive.
Well good news there, you won’t have a moderate decline in living standards now.
I kind of think that we don’t have an argument here. Trump is obviously the worse of two choices. It’s just that the Democrat offering is not actually a good choice, just a less bad one. Unless you’re a member of the bourgeoisie.
I am going to have a moderate decline in living standards because I live in the UK. Where our supposedly centre-left government have just decided to cut benefit payments to the disabled rather than raise taxes.
Unless you’re a member of the bourgeoisie.
Mmm.
Well here in America, the incremental progress made by Democratic Presidents indicates we can have much more if we could get more that 50% representation in Congress. But we very rarely do, for a number of reasons, some of which were pioneered in the UK.
Still we got a budget surplus, some sort of universal health care, and a huge investment in environmental rebuilding. Because a lot of self-described leftists were targeted to be outraged by the outrageous war crimes of Likud, we now have rolled back 100 years of structure and process in roughly three months. Like Brexit-on-steroids.
And that’s just fuckin stupid.
If your definition of a ‘sane, competent’ government is one that continues to rabidly support an ongoing genocide, I want none of it.
Good news for you then
luxury space capitalism for the rich; the global south (especially the gazans) were never intended to be with us in the future and the democrats proved it.

And he’s still better than . . . well the so-called-left has no one, so- better than no one.
No-one is a lot better than voting to send 2000 pound bombs to an entity committing genocide.
is it?
Is no-one better than… Adolf Hitler? 🤔
You are really asking the deep questions.
Well those seem like two pretty different questions.
Do you think Cory Booker and Adolf Hitler have anything in common? A shared interest. A hobby perhaps?
What could be the relation between these two figures?
Do you have anything in common with Ted Bundy?
What would he and you share together, like a lovely warm beverage, I wonder?
- carbon based lifeforms
- English speakers
- fan of fast cars and fast women?
True. Thank you for explaining how Adolf Hitler is better than no-one becuase no-one does not share any common traits with humans.
