This isn't something though, this is nauseating #Resistance theater from actual babykillers
It can be both theater and something. To use an extreme point, the Guillotines were theatrical.
He's thrown away one day of Senate procedure, and is not able to be stop until he sits or shuts up.
What would you have preferred the Dems have done to start? Expecting the Dems to be leftist is like expecting ducks to bark. We need to pat them on the head when they've done the bare minimum otherwise we won't even get that.
I'm sorry the world works that's way, I also wish it didn't but that's how it is.
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
over it apparently, "aT lEaSt tHeY aRE dOiNg SoMeThInG!" give me a fucking break)
eat me liberal
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 🙄
the real marxists are the ones who clap like trained seals over liberals doing pointless bullshit #resist
I remember when I first became a radlib and was convinced I was more radically leftist than every communist in history. This should pass in time if they are around long enough
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
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
