eh I just spend the whole biden admin watching press releases, speeches and fighting with republicans about his dementia. Turns out it was total hypocrisy and like bidens age, not an issue with trump.

I really don’t care who you voted for if you are still spending time talking about bidens debate blunders, I know which candidate you helped get elected. Your words did more than your vote here.

Maybe you should think about the criticism and the timing. Because it was poorly timed in 2024 and completely irrelevant now. We all want younger sharper candidates. having biden step down should have happened in 2022 and not 2024. That was a mistake.

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.

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.

Ya man, if you click the link you will see a man sacraficing his body for our voice. You’ll hear your own voice and your own suffering. Our concerns, our dreams.

Class waaaaaaar!!! CHARRRGE!!!

Well said. If you listen to the filibuster its full of populist lust for justice and compassion. I’m hoping this is where the anger and hope mix and we can start working on saving this country. least what we can.

LETS GOOOOOO. I am full of american pride and i haven’t felt like this since last november. It’s making me feel sane to hear heard. Its nice to know someones willing to suffer to express my concerns. Thank you sentator brooker. This is a welcome moral booster. I hope it encourages his peers.

Yep. Which is one of the biggest critisms of the dems that is relevant, they love handwaving and telling us whats in our best interest instead of polling or listening to us.

Why are all of you coming here and commenting without looking at the video im trying to share? I want to talk to you about the content of the filibuster that’s been happening for 20 hours. How do you think he’s been standing for 20 hours straight? There’s 10-20 other Dem senators there helping him by taking questions, giving speeches and allowing him to get bathroom breaks.

I share your sentiment but I still chose to believe we are losing an information war. People are not that stupid the right wing media system is truly powerful. We’re not going to get people back by belittling them. It’s a cult we need to treat it like a cult. Plenty of research on how to get people out of cults.

It does though. I agree with most of your statments in this thread. We don’t need to re-write the constitution. However we could if we wanted too. We can’t get 70% of america to agree on whats best for everyone. That’s not the government thats us. I’m open to hearing causes and solutions, but to act like we don’t have power is false. our government gives us power. 70% of the country doesn’t know how use it, or we can’t agree on how to use it. That’s my assessment anyway.

Social security is overwhelmingly popular but the majority of people can’t vote to save it. So when we finally cut social security and no one even votes out their congressmen I think we will discover its not the political system its us.

Senator Brooker has been filibustering the senate for almost 20 hours. Reading testimony from american people who are suffering under trump. He’s crying and begging people to take action. He’s pleading for our dying democracy, saying that’s all he can do. We are all really suffering right now. We need unity. If you have a chance there are good democrats on the senate floor right now doing everything they can to stop republican legislation. Not all democrats are bad eaither. A lot of people really care. if you can watch this filibuster it might be the longest in history, and it may give you some hope that there are representatives that care and are trying to find a solution. They are hearing us.

Nah if you’ve ever lived near a big city you know based leftists who are amazing intelligent people. And ya if you’ve been on the internet you also know the purity testing and violence they can represent.

At this point im just trying to figure out who reluctantly voted for Kamala, and who stubbornly handed trump an election with Jill Stien. I want those lefts out. Their views do not reflect the democrats. They are just using democrats to push their ideology, but they are not here for us when it matters. I don’t want the people who would ignore the danger trump represented any more than i want the DNC who failed to counter him.

What im sayin’ is I hope you good lefties win the purity test once and for all. We need you guys but you are not a large enough voting base to concede popular issues to.

I love my local leftists. Very civic minded. Tend to their communities. Do support great local legislation. They volunteer to feed the homless and create community programs. It’s the internet leftists that exist to score points that are giving them a bad name.

Also leftist policy gets more dicey at a larger scale. I’d love to see more leftist in state government, i realistically dont expect them to gain much national traction for another generation or two. Authoritarianism will have a leftist reaction, i pray its not a violent one.

My guy he has been speaking from 7 PM last night to 2PM today. He’s going to set the record for longest filibuster. I’m filled with hope and emotion listening to his words. He can barely stand after 19 hours on his feet and he’s still PLEADING FOR US.

What are you talking about? Thats a full day of the legislature. There are only like 500 days left in the term. LETS GOOOOOOOO

That’s my new angle with them. It became apparent last night that if they can’t have their views be popular, then 330 million people should suffer.

No need to reflect on how fringe and minority those views may be. No need to reflect on the suffering inaction will cause.

Claim the moral high ground and never let anyone up with you!

Go Bernie! Go Go! Go Bernie!! I hope all the dem senators can keep the floor forever. it’s been so inspiring watching brooker and the senators helping him make this historic event. longest filibuster in american history.
