It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.

Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.

    If I see a construction worker using a jackhammer on the side of the interstate, yes I assume they know what they’re doing until I see evidence to the contrary.

      Democrats have been demonstrating they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing to combat this fascist shut for decades now. The benefit of the doubt has passed.

      Sure this was slightly better than rolling over, but this accomplished little

        You say it accomplished little yet here we are all talking about it.

        How much time and energy have you spent thinking about and talking about this subject today?

        How many headlines are out there about it right now?

          Think how much more we’d be talking about it if they did someone useful instead of performative for once…

      What if they’re doing it alone, in the middle of the night?
      I’d hope you think that was strange at least.

        No not really actually. I see roadwork done at night all the time. They do it because there’s less need for the roads in the evening so blocking a lane or more is less impactful.

        See? Sometimes these things have more nuance and logic than you might think at first glance.

          One guy.
          Alone.
          In the middle of the night.

          That would be very strange. Just like this guy speaking to an empty room in the middle of the night.

          It’s nearly as strange, that you don’t think it’s strange at all.

            OK now you’re actually acting as if the specific details of your off the cuff metaphor are somehow truly relevant to the discussion at hand or in any way explain this situation with any level of granularity, so I’ll hold you to that: explain to me how this is like what you just described. Talk to me about how Booker is supposed to do something like this, and what is wrong with the way he did it.

              I don’t say things without thinking them through.

              You came up with the construction worker metaphor. Maybe you didn’t put any thought into that, I don’t know.

              I asked about if construction worker was working alone in the middle of the night. Just like Booker is talking to an empty room in the middle of the night.

              To me they both seem strange, and unlikely to be helping much.
