It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.

Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.

        I’m not holding my breath on him swaying MAGA leaders, but maybe he will wake the dems up.

          A big portion of MAGA voters are beyond saving. Most MAGA legislators need to be tried for their crimes against the country. We just need a few republicans to say enough is enough, my constituents cannot take these policies anymore.

            A big portion of MAGA voters are saying “this isn’t what I voted for”. People need to not respond to that with “yes it is” and rejecting them.

            “We agree this is wrong. Help us stop it.”

              That’s how im trying to reach out to my MAGA voting buddies. It’s hard to get through the layers of shame and “fuck joe biden dems eat babys” but theres a person underneath those cheap defenses.

          We just need 1 or 2 of the 50 republican senators to develop some catholic guilt.

          But i was refering to this is an inspiring call to action. He’s calling for legislators to do better for constituents, and he’s calling for constituents to keep freaking out. Keep protesting, boycotting more. He’ll hold the senate floor, everyone needs to do something. I like convincing people to get active. I’ll be protesting on the 5th. We all need to be more like Booker, stand up and yell whats on your mind. Enough crying republicans drown them out with the screams of rage and truth.

          I don’t expect it to sway any of them. But it should get some media attention. And the longer it goes on, the more likely it will. And that will generate more pushback.

                He’s saying everything that people are saying in this room, in the internet, to our familys. this is a true call to americans. It’s speaking to everyones shared values. Tune in and remember what americans believe in. It’s just reading american letters and telling stories and exposing republicans. It’s the most based protest to hit the senate floor that i can remember. I feel less hopeless. I’ve been begging for someone in congress to do ANYTHING. This is a thing. my prayers have been answered.
