Cory Booker has been filibustering for a while, but there’s no legislation that he’s stalling.

    What would you have preferred the Dems have done to start

    It would have been very cool if, going back to 2016, they hadn’t intentionally boosted Trump as part of a sociopathic plan to raise the likelihood of Hillary winning the general election (you can see how well that turned out), I think I would have definitely preferred that

    Right now I would prefer if they were all thrown into a pit so that leaders who aren’t at BEST feckless and incompetent and AT WORST literally fascist collaborators could step in and actually offer real opposition

    instead we’re getting dipshits jerking themselves raw over how RADICAL CIVILITY will defeat Trump (and people like you soypoint-2 over it apparently, “aT lEaSt tHeY aRE dOiNg SoMeThInG!” give me a fucking break)

        Look bro, if there’s a violent revolution to overthrow capitalism I’ll be there in the trenches fighting with you, but unless you’re willing to put your money where your mouth is and fire the first shot you’re just all talk.

        You are a frog in a pot being boiled alive, except the frog has the sense to escape. You’re not going to vote the fascists out, your leaders are useless or collaborators, the consequences of that should be really fucking clear. But yeah, lol, I’m the idiot 🙄

            Invoking Lenin to justify any level of support to Cory fucking Booker is hilarious my dude lmao

            People are calling you a liberal because of how aggressively you’ve reacted to the idea that this whole thing is performative brand polishing and nothing more. Sometimes we all get a little too excited for any hope out there but like this is straight up not it. The Dems have been running this playbook for decades with great results! For their donation numbers and effectively tricking just enough people into thinking there is any shred of hope within the moderate wing of the fascist party. Apparently that sometimes even works on people who are aware that the party itself is fascist which is a crazy testament to just how well it works

                However what do people here think is going to happen, do you think we will defeat fascism by being on our ass bitching about the Dems not doing enough?

                Why is this your conclusion about everyone here based purely off the fact that we aren’t falling for the typical performative dem resistance shit lol. Like you’re just assuming everything else and going full defense mode because we clown on Cory Booker? What?

                    I gotta be real dawg I can’t tell if you’re joking or not so I’m going to back out of this while it’s still funny. Probably going to get a good few more chuckles out of this as it pops into my head for the rest of the day, and depending on your own intentions here you can either share in the joy or I guess stay frustrated with the lack of Cory Booker support on the communist internet forum
