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.'"
Resistance seems like a bit much, can we compromise and agree it's the first sign that a Democratic senator has a pulse?
Credit should be given where due: Sen. Booker is about to make history in less than an hour, breaking the record for the longest filibuster in US history.
Edit: He did it! Now it's on every American and person around the world to resist the Trump administration.
That's fair enough, I absolutely agree that his resolve is notable and his voice should be elevated, but will we see that happen in reality?
Booker is a staunch zionist. He should be in prison for supporting the killing of Palestinians.
Okay buddy we'll at least he wants to keep the fascism over there.
I don't think that's better...
You don’t think it’s better that the country with most powerful military and bases all over the world doesn’t fall to fascism before Israel?
Even if you don’t live in America it seems pretty obvious that is, in fact, better
The point was that the USA is already fascist when it come to the Palestinians, and Booker is in full support of that, so now, i don't see how its "obviously better" that Corey Booker wants to do the Holocaust, but only on foreigners.
Ahhh that makes sense, I didn’t infer it like that at first
Thanks for your contribution, senator McCarthy. Good to know that the people opposed to the position of "full support for fascist genocide is fine, so long as it's being done to foreigners" are the ones who lack empathy and want to cause division.
Yes, that's the only reason you could have had your comment removed, senator McCarthy...
That seems like a matter of perspective
Yeah, the perspective of those who see foreigners as humans, and the perspectives of fascist white nationalists like you and Booker
"As long as you keep the killing to brown people, fine"
There is no "keeping fascism over there." It always comes home. Do you want to end it now or when you're the target?
Standards are low.
He stopped a full day of business in the Senate. I've never been a huge Booker fan but I gotta admit, not only is it a pretty impressive feat but this is exactly the kind of thing we need from them right now.
A full day of ... nothing. The senate, and congress as a whole don't really do anything these days. They pass maybe one consequential bill every 2 years and then go back to sitting on there asses because the filibuster prevents them from doing anything besides "bipartisan" shit like sending weapons to Israel.
All the bad shit that's been happening is coming from trumps desk with no approval or input from congress.
Congress, republican controlled*, has chosen not to act, which many view as a tacit approval.
Hey now give him credit where credit is due, he at least made sure to wait until after the spending bill. That way he didn't interfere with project 2025 at all.
What a thoughtful soul
No, we need their party to stop bombing Palestinian civilians. In no way is booker, who is a staunch zionist, promising to change that.
