What did Cory Booker 25-Hour speech actually achieve in terms of change?
-
It slowed the process if nothing else. Every day that this administration can be slowed down is a win.
-
They shook hands and unanimously approved (booker too) more weapons for the genocide immediately after the performance.
-
What did a single Trump rally achieve? Nothing. What did multiple years of Trump rallies achieve?
-
Booker's speech was an audition for Schumer's job. He laid out his vision of the Democratic agenda, and showed strength doing it, contrasting with that craven, corrupt, simpering, weak, vile, weenie Schumer.
Schumer is in the way, and needs to retire immediately, and make way for AOC to take his seat.
If Schumer leaves, Booker become Minority leader, and AOC goes to the Senate, that speech will have acvomplished a lot.
-
It set a new record. That's about it
-
Will Cory Booker be giving multiple 25 hour speeches per day for multiple years? Because I just don't see Dems doing much more than coasting off this for the next four years.
The only actionable thing that was accomplished was a black senator took the record for longest speech from a segregationist arguing against people like Booker being able to safely vote. Which for that alone he should be congrulated and celebrated.
-
Well, we will need to wait and see. The first Dem to consistently build an authentic movement though, wins with ease.
-
Yeah, I'll be honest I'm pretty tuned out on the Dems, but the first time I heard about this was an unwanted donation solicitation that started like "I just got off the senate floor..." and it just made it feel so transparent that right now, it's just performative bullshit.
Could be the start of something, but it won't be until the Dems prove they're effective at something other than fundraising to lose elections.
-
Dem to consistently build an authentic movement
The whole point of Dems for the last forty years is they don't know what authenticity is. They think it's a marketing term and not a human condition.
-
Individual Trump rallys still convinced people to vote for him. Or are you saying that running for president in 4 years is what Booker's doing about Trump?
-
Bookers 24h subathon showed strength nor vision. There was nothing differing him from Schumer except his age and skin color. According to liberal logic this makes Booker a worse candidate than Schumer.
-
Nothing but it made Democeats feel like it did something and that is all that matters.
