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.
Yes, an act can be both theater and make a material difference. This is not though, it is only theater and devoid of anything meaningful or material. He wouldn't be doing it otherwise because he represents the same ruling class the republicans do, you goddamned fool.
Also get the fuck out of here with your "I'm more leftist than you!" bullshit while talking about how we have to give our explicit ruling class enemies a "pat on the head" for pretending they're presenting any kind of opposition. Many of us here have been organizing and providing mutual aid for decades, and even if you're not lying about the actual material work you've done (which I doubt), it doesn't change the fact that your advocating for liberal, bourgeois politicians doing performative kayfabe undeniably makes you also a liberal with zero knowledge of theory or any understanding of what's actually happening here.
