There are damned few heroes, and no, Cory Booker isn’t one of them.
I liked him before he came to Congress, but in office he’s been a blah, one of many worthless Dems, and dead wrong on numerous issues — including Gaza.
I’ll give him kudos for the longwinded speech, without even any snark, but it only added up to a day’s delay. To actually be effective, he should’ve yielded the floor to another Democrat who’d filibuster, and then another. Where are the rest of the Dems? For that matter, where was Booker until Monday night?
The right most of all want to be recognised as centrists, so when the overton window eventually shifts they can safely genocide everyone else without being labelled directly as fascists
I also saw that while he was on his feet making himself visible, the committee that he normally chairs was digging into the same tech bros who put money in his pocket.
It’s no wonder that American voters didn’t want to vote for the Bourgeois Liberal Party, even though the alternative was literal Fascism.

Well, they’re proud now. In the time we have left.
The Democrats have constantly misread the situation very badly. For the typical voter, not the bourgeois liberals, not the MAGA brain-rotted dummies but the average poor working class voter the choice was:
-
Vote Liberal Bourgeois and maybe things might tick along for another couple of years with the rich bourgeois liberals profiting off you and telling you how good you’ve got it
-
Vote Trump, you’ll definitely be fucked but all the bourgeois liberals will be fucked as well.
I mean sanity suggests that the first offer meets the self-preservation criteria better but it’s not what you call an attractive offer, is it?
The “offer” was sane, competent, if not luxury-gay-space-communism government vs. chaos, insanity, and death.
That was the “offer”.
If your definition of a ‘sane, competent’ government is one that continues to rabidly support an ongoing genocide, I want none of it.
Good news for you then
luxury space capitalism for the rich; the global south (especially the gazans) were never intended to be with us in the future and the democrats proved it.
If sane and competent gets you a decline in living standards year on year then it ain’t all that attractive.
Vote Trump, you’ll definitely be fucked but all the bourgeois liberals will be fucked as well.
How do you figure?
I don’t understand the question.
How do you figure that the bourgeois liberals will be fucked?
I can’t pretend that I know for a 100% sure that they will be. But the signs are not great. Also Tax Cuts for the Rich didn’t go all that well when Liz Truss tried it here in the UK.
The bourgeoisie will get yet another economic crash to scoop up assets on the cheap, further consolidating wealth and power in the hands of a few. I really don’t see how this hurts anyone but the working class.

And he’s still better than . . . well the so-called-left has no one, so- better than no one.
No-one is a lot better than voting to send 2000 pound bombs to an entity committing genocide.
is it?
Is no-one better than… Adolf Hitler? 🤔
You are really asking the deep questions.
Well those seem like two pretty different questions.
Do you think Cory Booker and Adolf Hitler have anything in common? A shared interest. A hobby perhaps?
What could be the relation between these two figures?
Do you have anything in common with Ted Bundy?
What would he and you share together, like a lovely warm beverage, I wonder?
- carbon based lifeforms
- English speakers
- fan of fast cars and fast women?
True. Thank you for explaining how Adolf Hitler is better than no-one becuase no-one does not share any common traits with humans.
It’s really hard to care a ton about a war a world away when Trump is quite literally melting our government and economy from the inside out. I guess that’s part of the plan, but the people that didn’t vote for Kamala because of Palestine are partially to blame for Trump returning to power.
If you keep suffering maybe you will learn to develop develop empathy.
you can’t afford things and parents in gaza are collecting their children’s body parts in ziplock bags so that they have something to bury; they’re totally on the same level and fuck those people who didn’t want to be complicit with that genocide.
Yeah ok… blame this on the people with a conscience. Liberals stay losing.
I fear that may be part of the point. In truth, we’re all just Trump’s victims
Leftist purity culture is the best tool the fascists have.
He did more than you ever have, and that’s saying… well, practically nothing I guess.
Get over it and enjoy the fact that someone is doing anything.
What did he do exactly? He gave a speech right? Is that groundbreaking? What has he accomplished exactly?
Pretending to be leftists is the best tool fascists have.
Are you glad he cost you the election?
I didn’t realize he made 15 million previous Biden supporters not vote for a black woman. How’d he do that?
