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

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 soypoint-2 over it apparently, "aT lEaSt tHeY aRE dOiNg SoMeThInG!" give me a fucking break)
