You don't need Luntz to tell you the self-evident. He is the father, or at least the uncle, of the worst GOP serpent talk.

If he sees it, then you know it's got them worried.

“The thing is, when there’s an agreement that we’re all in this, that we all go, bullies have less room to push people around and less time to assert dominance. And a surprising amount of them fold at the first sign of FUCK. YOU.”

Exactly!!! Fighting back may not always work, but giving in to the bully always loses. At this point, we've got nothing to lose by standing up.

Once again Democrats take a victory lap on an entirely symbolic gesture that did nothing.

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

Sometimes we need symbolic gestures to prove we're still in the fight and not capitulating. This wasn't about fixing everything, this was about showing the path forward. In this time of despair, we need gestures like this.

gambit79.bsky.social•79 days ago

1/3 I would agree, but what would be better is putting an actual plan together for the next time they are in power. I've been voting Democrat since 2004 and every time they get the whole house / senate they manage to do nothing. How is it we don't already have protections for trans people?

gambit79.bsky.social•79 days ago

2/3 Do you know why both the right and the left love arguing over identity politics and culture war? Because everything about it is symbolic and no matter who wins their billionaire donors don't lose a dime. This feels like a PR stunt to distract us and a bid for Corey Booker to be party leadership.

gambit79.bsky.social•79 days ago

3/3 Nothing scares them more than progressives who aren't happy with his support for genocide. 25 hours filibustering absolutely nothing isn't enough to forgive 50k dead children. We don't need gestures we need a revolution (peaceful one). 20 years voting for the lesser evil has gotten us here.

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

I can't argue with anything you've said. They system is horrible but it's the one we've got. We do need a revolution and preferably a peaceful one, but we're all fighting amongst ourselves for the crumbs while the rich get fat. I have no answers for you.

t-antony.bsky.social•79 days ago

I have been waiting for decades for democrats in congress to stand up.
I applaud Cory but this should have happened years ago before the DOJ, FBI, Supreme Court was utterly corrupted.

Cory Booker is relentless.

And not to be catty, but the toupee couldn't be more obvious even if it had a chinstrap.

Time For Our Leaders To Lead

One thing Cory’s speech has shown.
Dem leaders suddenly have backbone.
A strong new look. We aren’t afraid.
We’re ready to fight! Lead the parade!

nomadgirldad.bsky.social•79 days ago

@booker.senate.gov fasted for 5 days & stopped consuming liquids for 3. He didn't sit down & didn't rest for more than 25 hours while he spoke truth for the American people. This was a powerful act of resistance. His intention & sacrifice have inspired a nation💯🇺🇲💪💙

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

He trained for it like it was an olympic event!!! That's great background information!!!

nomadgirldad.bsky.social•79 days ago

Right?! And his staff spent the time compiling data & talking points so every word mattered 💙 unlike that pos cruz, who spent his time reading Dr. Seuss.

elysiumplain.bsky.social•79 days ago

And now watch every confirmation get passed with unanimous consent...

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

They'll pass, but hopefully more Dems can see that we're looking for resistance, not capitulation.

nomadgirldad.bsky.social•79 days ago

So much this!

nomadgirldad.bsky.social•79 days ago

Hopefully, Cory was able to stiffen some spines. His speech is reverberating far & wide

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

He set the example. That 25 hours showed the way. We, and our representatives, have to build on this!!!

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

The whole team deserves a ton of thanks. You can't do anything for 25 hours without a solid plan. I get tired of talking after a few minutes!!!

deliriumbob.bsky.social•79 days ago

Schumer is a useless old fuck.

houseofnadja.com•78 days ago

He's using a 30 year old playbook. We need someone with new ideas. The old shit isn't working.

kensheetz.bsky.social•79 days ago

Yes! Here's the moment he broke the record. https://youtu.be/_q8_Rp1_uSM

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

Such an amazing achievement!!!

time4changenow.bsky.social•79 days ago

The Democrats have a deep bench with many smart legislators. Calm down we just beat the richest man in the world

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

We do have a deep bench, but Booker, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Warren, and Bernie can't do it alone. We need everyone in the game.

svs3.bsky.social•79 days ago

Calm down? Nothing at all to be calm about

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

💯💯💯 We need to step up and keep this energy moving forward. Now is the time be seen.

stlouisishome.bsky.social•79 days ago

Seriously! And 37 of them were involved in planning this. It didn't happen overnight. I'm going to be a broken record on this fact.

Everyone has strengths they bring to the table. Anyone who's been on a team knows this.

stlouisishome.bsky.social•79 days ago

Not everyone can be QB (or tight end, in Cory's case 😎), but you still need a center and a place-kicker. I'm begging the pro-democracy coalition to stop looking for a cult figure /miracle-worker, and most of all... Focus on the real threat.

m0x1e.bsky.social•79 days ago

Cory

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

Thanks, shit. Oops.

m0x1e.bsky.social•79 days ago

Np
Everyone for the last 2 days has got it wrong.

houseofnadja.com•79 days ago

Thanks!!! It won't happen again with me, that's for sure

barbbanfieldrn.bsky.social•79 days ago

“And I’ll go even further. If you ask Democratic senators right now, who’d they rather have lead them over the next three years? They would choose Cory Booker over Chuck Schumer. That’s how significant today was.”
