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.’”
American politics are a clown show
Yeah like, this is the best they’ve got? Pathetic.
Pathetic? Now that’s called a clear case of the projections.
Well now I’m confused. I guess you meant it was an impressive clown show?
I’m impressed with how silly it is.
A bit like you being a total regime lib and shamelessly appropriating the word comrade.‘appropriating’ the word comrade like communist is a type of PoC
that’s the most performative bad faith lib shit I’ve seen in quite some time
And they didn’t even say the word. So are you stalking them from other threads or are you just instantly triggered by the instance?
What kind of brain broken fucking weirdo are you?
First of all, I misread “Yeah like, this is the best they’/you’ve got? Pathetic”.
So I thought he was insulting me. .IDK why you want to put in your ill mannered and bad tempered 2 cents in though.
-When you clearly don’t understand the meaning of the word ‘appropriate’.
-He has the word ‘comrade’ in his bio so that’s why I mentioned it.
-baselessly accuse me of stalking him for no reasonSo if you have a choice between keeping quiet or write an abundance of idiotic things, next time choose the former.
Now you stop stalking me, get it?You’re getting what you’re putting out, you smug stupid piece of shit.
Go ahead then. Explain what you came up with all on your own as a definition for a word you misused. Now that you’ve put your foot down. After “oh well I felt slighted so my behavior doesn’t matter but HOW DARE YOU respond to it in kind”
Wow. Fuck you. And fuck your parents for training you to rationalize yourself like this. What a spoiled fucking brat dropped from that tree.
-He has the word ‘comrade’ in his bio so that’s why I mentioned it.
oh and by the way this is the answer to “What kind of brain broken fucking weirdo are you?”
Getting big mad and looking at someone’s profile looking for things to get angry about and ammunition to use against them is “I don’t take showers” online troll behavior.
I apologise to you since I misread your comment.
The asshole further down in the comments made me aware of it.
Not all countries in America are like this
True, but we were talking about the US banana republic.
I apologise to all further developed and civilised nations of America.
Yes. That’s not new
Where was this motion when the continued resolution was on the floor? Fucking clowns.
What happens when he needs to take a shit?
He uses a diaper, then sells it online and sends the cash to Israel.
Ew, capitalism. That diaper could have been put to good use as fertilizer instead.
The last record-holder, Strom Thurmond, would shit in a bucket in a coat room while keeping one foot in the Senate chamber and still talking. He was attempting, of course, to filibuster the Civil Rights Act.
oh yeah, biden’s best friend that he gave a euology at his funeral for because he did so much good work for the government
I’m assuming there is no existing audio of the guy speaking out against civil rights while taking a dump? Or at least a transcription of that specific part of his speech so we can imagine at home? It seems like an emblematic moment in American history.
He probably has a diaper and a catheter. The rules don’t let him sit or leave to use the bathroom.
LOL
Their words are worthless.
Do something meaningful. At minimum, replace Jeffries and Schumer as leaders, and make it abundantly and publicly clear you did so because of capitulation to fascism.
Then do it
Words are cheap
Perhaps if he wore a bomb vest to the next senate meeting I would consider forgiving him.
If he uses it, same
Glad to see the turning of sentiment within the DNC. Perhaps Chuck Schumer got the message that people want him gone and is trying to stay wanted. Or maybe he is worried a third party will galvanize a voting bloc and take money from the Dems.
Ultimately this is a good thing as it shows a fire and regret in the same speech. Finally nice to see democracy start returning to the Democrats.
Omg, the blue sky comments made me want to hurl. All this over a filibuster to stop nothing? Couldn’t have pulled this shit when it actually would do something, I guess.
Not a filibuster, there’s not a bill in question or a confirmation on the line. He’s just holding the floor. I applaud the effort and certainly the message, I’m just not sure why he’s doing it now instead of you know when it counted.
That’s really too bad. This sort of effort should be directed at something specific rather than just being performant :(
Unfortunately that seems to be the Democrat playbook these days. Make a lot of noise, but don’t suit up for the actual battles that would win the war.
Feels like too little too late.
He’s applying for the Democratic nomination.
Nomination to what?
There are no primaries from now on in the democratic party, only nominations.
You wouldn’t force the democrats to pass a purity test would you?
Because it is.
A lot of words and no actions… until Schumer steps down Democrats have learned nothing and have nothing new to offer. If you want us to believe you have changed show us don’t tell us.
Cory booker is probably an even more virulent zionist than Schumer. He’s been pro israel, and anti-palestine his entire career.
Citation needed
He praised Israel and defended the genocide in this very same filibuster.
“Ending security assistance to our closest ally in the Middle East at a time when Israel faces new threats emanating from Syria and continued aggression from Iran and its proxies would undermine stability in the region and harm our own national security,” he said at the time. “The United States and Israel have a history of unprecedented cooperation on the basis of shared ideals and democratic principles. [Curtailing funding] would dramatically undermine our enduring commitment to Israel’s security and the historic ties between our two nations, jeopardizing a peaceful and stable future.”
I was in no way suggesting Booker replace Schumer. I want Booker and the other democrats to pressure Schumer to step down.
Honestly the first actual sign of resistance from within the Senate chamber.
Dumbass L*dditor gets amused by jingling keys.
He also took the time to praise Israel and defend the genocide during his filibuster.
Fuck right off.
Why are our politicians like this… Anyone with eyes can see it’s evil what’s happening there.
Because we have legalized bribery.
He could always demonstrate his regret by stepping down and letting someone else take over his position LOL
I confess we all must look in the mirror and say ‘we will do better.’”
Spoiler: they won’t
Hey now, lets not forget that time Schumer and Pelosi led that “We will win!” chant. If it wasn’t for that, we might be in REAL trouble right now.
