At first, I was thinking Corey Booker’s stunt was performative & unhelpful. I’ve come around. On the day of the special elections, he stole press from DJ T. He’s given voice to many scared ppl. Not to mention the difficulty from bathroom standpoint. #coreybooker #resistance #gocorey #uspol - ThreadSky

Yes! That and took the fart wind out of trumps sails for tomorrows “liberation day” what Dems need to do is take over the narrative- I hope they do this every week

🤭 fart wind 💨

I didn't think it was just performative. He got it all out there..into the daylight. Said it all loud and clear.

Like I said, I only thought that at first. After I saw what he was doing more clearly, I agree that it was powerful and important.

Remember that all senators perform. All representatives perform.

True. It’s their job. But some things help “the people” and some things only help the representatives.

'K' you were right on your 1st thought it was a performative STUNT and clearly unhelpful to many struggling Americans facing major loss at the hands of a demented tyrant and NAZI loving billionaire FOOL who bought a presidency while destroying democracy, while Booker speech does nothing 2resolve it!

millennialleia.bsky.social•14 days ago

Respectfully, I disagree.
Cory Booker took the press focus off of DJT & his latest nonsense & put it squarely on the people who were feeling unheard and their experiences being harmed by the administration.
He took his platform and forced a light to be shined on the pain being caused.

And that's about it... Booker's grift is 2look like he's doing something while doing nothing! The guy is no better than #schumerlessturncoat. It shows in Booker's voting record. I stand w/my opinion, a person who was an active civil right fighter 1st hand! Booker doesn't know what Good Trouble is!

Any resistance is good resistance!

It was a good speech and had many very fine moments. I applaud him for his passion and dedication to helping the American people and speaking truth to power. I don’t agree with very many establishment democrats, but I’m not gonna fault him a spotlight especially w/ the previous record out.

millennialleia.bsky.social•14 days ago

Establishment Democrats are hard for me too.
Right now I am cheering for even moderate, sane, competent Republicans, though.

I really wish they would have had somebody else lined up to pop right in after him when Risch called for the vote and just grind it out. I think stubborn refusal would be a good show as well.

millennialleia.bsky.social•14 days ago

I was hoping for that too. When Risch appeared, I was like, “oh, this is embarrassing.”

raccoonpk12.bsky.social•14 days ago

They are all horrible little lickspittle ghouls

And he stole the press from Republicans spreading their propaganda about judge's seat race in Wisconsin. I can imagine that helped Susan Crawford win :)

It’s called a stadium pal.

millennialleia.bsky.social•14 days ago

I figured there was something like that. Still, can’t be comfy.

It is inspiring! The haters can hate away, and I support their freedom to do that. Hopefully they are taking productive action of their own and not just tearing him down.
