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

Nothing about what you're saying is wrong, however if you don't think there was also a layer of theatrics in the public executions of the aristocrats where they chopped their damn heads off.... I have no clue what to say to you to convince you to otherwise lmfao

Theatrics btw are not bad. If you're being purely pragmatic then people will never give a fuck about you, the problem is "Pure Theatrics" you also need substance.

Which is why I used the guillotine as an example, it had substance and it has theatrics.

Do you thinking when Mussolini's body was publicly desecrated there wasn't any theatrics or point to it? Do you think Sherman's scorching the land to bring terror in the hearts of slave owners had no theatrics?

Do you think a dude pissing in a bucket so he can keep rambling nonsense is even remotely similar?

You're jumping all over the place bro.

Yes I do, it's a smaller scale. He's got people's attention, the people are saying "do this more often" maybe more days will be disrupted.

Better than no days disrupted
