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

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
