Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
I’ll believe it when I see it

Their words are worthless.
Do something meaningful. At minimum, replace Jeffries and Schumer as leaders, and make it abundantly and publicly clear you did so because of capitulation to fascism.
Anyone know what he is filibustering?
He's not filibustering. He's grandstanding.
The real reason to have a 3 day no pooping challenge.
What happens when he needs to take a shit?
He uses a diaper, then sells it online and sends the cash to Israel.
He probably has a diaper and a catheter. The rules don't let him sit or leave to use the bathroom.
Corey Booker spoke for a while, and we all lived happily ever after...
Bullshit. The begging, pleading lies of those caught in the act and facing down a 20 year sentence, promising now that things have come to a head they'll change the way they've been all their life if just once more they're let off the hook for their actions.
It reminds me so much of the Saddam bit from the South Park movie where Saddam is in an abusive relationship with Satan and keeps winning him back by promising to change and then doing something performative before going back to his old ways. "I can change, I can change!" he sings and it's the same tune these Democrats are singing. They've been singing it off and on for decades every time they lose the base too much then immediately putting away that number as soon as they get the base back and berating them for demanding better, for 'purity testing' and so on and brow-beat with accusations that demands for change help Republicans win.
So excuse us if we're a little skeptical because this song and dance is very worn.
How about actually defending trans people and trans rights instead of getting mealy-mouthed? How about making impassioned speeches in defense of trans kids right to affirming care and transitioning? No they won't do that.
Or condemning the genocide in Palestine and calling out the elements in their own party supporting it? No they won't do that either.
First Past The post voting is the reason weak candidates run for political office. No competition.
