Corey Booker voted this afternoon to keep sending bombs to Israel, which is much, much more meaningful and important than a speech about values, even if it did last 25 hours.

the fact that immediately after he did that, there was an actual opportunity to present opposition to Trump by objecting to unanimous consent on confirming Matt Whitaker and neither Booker nor any other Dem Senator objected? a perfectly-executed punchline.
No, not being able to criticize anything a party does is why Dems lose. They have no idea to take feedback because people like you keep making sure they never have to hear any
AIPAC are bloodthirsty Zionist Fascists, so they suck shit. Too bad, I was beginning to like Senator Cory Booker, but now I know he's yet another cruel bloody Zio-Fascist. I am going to recommend to my 2 U.S. Democratic Party Senators that they promote someone else to leadership, who's NOT a Zionist
I don't know why people don't understand yet. The majority of Americans want the genocide to continue. Therefore, more politicians will vote for it. It isn't that hard to understand
But why people are waiting until we're even weaker from not having food because we're deporting/scaring off the people that harvest and kill it is frankly beyond me.
Idk what you guys expected when you didn't show up for the pro-Pali candidates who ran in the past few elections. If you don't vote for pro-Pali candidates, they won't win, and then pro-Pali legislation won't get passed. (Not that it would under Trump anyway)
I mean, crudely stated but not wrong. The elections I'm referring to had low voter turnout. It really wouldn't have been that hard for leftists to rally, which would have resulted in more pro-Pali Senators & sent a message to the Democrats that yall are serious. But that didn't happen & never does.
I mean anyone who cares about Palestine and is legally able to vote, but still sat out the elections where pro-Palestine candidates were running, thereby allowing pro-Israel candidates to secure easy victories.
Senate Dems planned the Filibuster performative BS in hope it would let some air out of the irate base voter balloon. The three Dem senators under 90 drew straws to see who could stay up for a day.
Immediately after his speech was a nomination to confirm a nomination for guy that's on the record saying "abuse of power is not a crime"
Not a single Dem , including Booker, objected to unanimous consent.
OK that’s not swearing in though. That’s not even voting to confirm, which is what I had initially thought when reading this post. I understand the frustration with not objecting to unanimous consent after the speech Booker made, but the way this is worded now is misleading.
told you it was political marketing stunt, people need to learn that this shit will not save your democracy, it was just empty performative mental masturbation act without any real effect
In fact it almost seems as though he became the Yaptron 9000 so as to obfuscate his voting for an immoral arms deal. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I mean, this is the guy who took the largest donations of any Dem lawmaker from Pharmaceutical companies, then shot down a bill from Bernie to lower pharma costs. 🤷🏻♂️ Same shit, different day.
The resistance can't be funded by AIPAC. We can't disconnect foreign policy and genocide our government is committing from what it's doing here to us. Thinking Cory Bald Headed Booker is on our side is fools gold.
The Democratic party is not capable at this moment, & never will be.
Someone had to break that record tho. It was a bad look that the longest whatever was held by a racist protesting the civil rights act. It’s an achievement absolutely. Unfortunately it seems most good politicians (with actual power) support Israel still. Sanders too last I heard
Good politician but evidently not a good person. He can talk all he wants but at the end of the day, he clearly views some fascism and discrimination as acceptable. Wish someone with a stronger moral backbone broke the record.

go talk this shit at the party leadership about how they can't stop choking on Bini's dick long enough to hear their fuckin constituents and win
It's time to bring out the gauze, tourniquets and antibiotics. 🤕
A man funded and allied with a violent segregationist regime’s government defeating a record held by a segregationist isn’t progress.
@booker.senate.gov is funded by segregationists.
that’s our story and we’re sticking to it.
Immediately swore in one of Trump's lackeys ✅
Voted to continue supplying the ongoing genocide in Palestine ✅
Democrats would be doing more good by doing absolutely nothing, they're fucking useless
They stand to benefit IMMENSELY from trump. When you consider that, their actions sure do make a lot of sense.
They're not the good party, just the less openly evil party after all.
I'm agnostic af, so I don't like getting Biblical with my figures of speech, but this is quite genuinely a battle between good vs evil.
Not a single Dem , including Booker, objected to unanimous consent.

Thanks for this.

thank you we'd lose track without you.
