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

I don't disagree with anything you're saying but I fail to see how what he's doing is viewed as not doing anything.

He already threw one days session away. That's small but it's not nothing it is mostly nothing though won't disagree there lol.

That said it's gotta start somewhere, idk what the point in shitting on someone for doing something (even if it's small) is going to accomplish.

That said I appreciate your comment it's fair points.

He's demonstrating that doing nothing, a purely performative gesture, is enough to get people like you to clap and donate.

He's moving the Overton window on Trump resistance from barely effectual to absolutely toothless.
