Booker: “I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I’ve been inadequate to the moment. I’ve confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say ‘we will do better.’”
Thank you for saying this Cory. All other democrats who don’t take up this message can bite my balls. At least this guy seems ok, or at least conscious.
Performative bullshit from a zionazi genocide supporter.
Y’all look at the date… This tool isn’t standing up for anyone or anything, he’s doing an elaborate April fools joke
Booker a day later: let’s give Israel more money
Also, too tired to filibuster when something bad actually needs to be stopped, like Chuck Schumer collaborating with Trump two weeks ago.
Corey Booker spoke for a while, and we all lived happily ever after…

Out of Trump’s 35,000 hours as president, Booker expertly OBLITERATED 25 of them. Trump is done.
Quite frankly, I don’t give a f*** if they look in the mirror and say that they will do better. We’ve been calling on them to do better for many years, or decades even, depending who you are. Don’t bother f****** telling us how you’re going to f****** do better. Just start doing better already.
He also took the time to praise Israel and defend the genocide during his filibuster.
Fuck right off.
I regret cheering him on now. Fuck this dude.
He also put on a genocide pin and proceeded to preach some biblical Zionism quotes. Usually Democrats stick to the liberal Zionism. Apparently they have moved so far right they identify more with the MAGA crowd now.
It was a loyalty pledge. He put on this performance to get a shot at a leadership position, and he wanted to make it clear to the aipac lobby which side he was on.
Why are our politicians like this… Anyone with eyes can see it’s evil what’s happening there.
AIPAC
Because we have legalized bribery.
And call it ‘lobbying’
I think this sentiment is good and happy to see something like this out of the Democrats for fucking once in their lives.
That said, Booker is a huge embodiment of the Democratic Party he’s criticizing here. While certainly better than a ton in the traditional centrist camp like Schumer and Pelosi, Booker still towed the line the past 10 years since the DNC has actually been screwing over genuine progressives like Sanders.
If this is a genuine recognition of a failed strategy then great, but I’m skeptical.
towed the line
*toed
Simply admitting it does not mean you don’t have to correct. This was a fillibuster in name only, no bill was protested. This is theatrical at best.
It was performative nonsense, as per usual of the democrats.
The only thing it did was take the record from a segregationist.
Of course, the Dems are experts at theater.
The real reason to have a 3 day no pooping challenge.
Shhh we’re not allowed to speculate on the reason for not wanting to poop for 3 days
Then do it
Words are cheap
First Past The post voting is the reason weak candidates run for political office. No competition.
He could always demonstrate his regret by stepping down and letting someone else take over his position LOL
I confess we all must look in the mirror and say ‘we will do better.’”
Spoiler: they won’t
Hey now, lets not forget that time Schumer and Pelosi led that “We will win!” chant. If it wasn’t for that, we might be in REAL trouble right now.
I thought it was kinda cool he was mad at Trump for 24 hours straight. This shit takes a lot of physical effort, especially for a 55 year old.
Highly performative though. Not saying it was useless, because it definitely was a statement. It was not yet a "step in the right direction, but at least a “slight bend of the neck to maybe someday start looking in the right direction”. Now I would like every other congressional Democrat to follow it up with something. Furiously voting against absolutely everything the MAGA terrorists propose, no matter what. Call Mike Johnson a cuck live on C-Span, every day. Lock MTG in the bathroom. Create 100 policy proposals for the docket, every day and from everyone until the .txt list is 500 Petabyte big.
Shut congress down. Completely, until Trump is gone. This is war.
