It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.

Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.

    Democrats have been demonstrating they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing to combat this fascist shut for decades now. The benefit of the doubt has passed.

    Sure this was slightly better than rolling over, but this accomplished little

      You say it accomplished little yet here we are all talking about it.

      How much time and energy have you spent thinking about and talking about this subject today?

      How many headlines are out there about it right now?

        Think how much more we’d be talking about it if they did someone useful instead of performative for once…

          I get it’s edgy and cool to shit on people doing something other than whining on forums but maybe you should just shut the fuck up and contribute meaningfully to solving the problem instead of jeering from the sidelines?

            I know it’s great pretending like the usual performative shit that Democrats have been doing for years will suddenly work this time, but telling people who’ve seen this same exact bullshit fail countless timeless to shuf up isn’t going to make it less useless this time around, either.

                He waited 3 months to do this little playacting. This is his job. I’ve been doing mine this whole time. He was phoning it in up until last night. Let’s not pretend this makes up for the Democrats’ subservience up until now.

                  Oh give me a fucking break. It’s only been 3 months. You’re acting like it’s year 4.

                  What the fuck have you done the last 12 weeks? You’re never going to relent. I could show you Booker executing Trump on his knees and you’d go “well he should’ve acted sooner, the Do-Nothing-Democrat!”

                    You understand that they waited until after all the corrupt agency heads were confirmed, and after the trash Republican budget was passed to pull this stunt, right?

                    You making moronic hypotheticals claiming you know me, because I think this obvious stunt was just that and not something helpful, doesn’t make it any more helpful
