I'm so sick of people saying that Corey Booker's filibuster is "just performative."
Of course it's performative. But all politics is performative to some extent. One of the real problems with Dems is that they're NOT putting on the sort of show they need to put on for the general public.

Not to mention the sheer fact that he’s on what like hr 18+? Most people I don’t think realize how difficult it is to speak even 5 min
