Cory Booker Filibuster

Booker at 20 hours and still on point about the harms of the Trump administration. A little punchy. Still making sense though!

This is not about him being a front runner for 2028–this is about Dems showing up and giving voices to their constituency. I hope they don’t stop. We can pick a candidate after the midterms. We aren’t ready yet.

Exactly!
The point is to try and cut through the noise and daily distractions. This has been a great summary of the last two (!) months.

We have to lead with respect and dignity. Not slander and insults. Ignore the messenger … however the message … maybe we can learn from it

Democrats are in love with themselves and their policies and can’t ket any of them go, no matter how destructive to iur electiral prospects

pp, I am annoyed at everyone else on this thread. I’ll keep an open mind about corey booker. I am pretty good at spotting when things are going downhill (I spotted hillary a couple of weeks out from the election and pfft… I called trump from the gate).

While it’s easy for me to spot the loser, it’s harder for me to spot the winner. I guess that is why I’m not a billionaire.

The last election was never a close call. She had one good week. When Obama started publicly chiding Black Men… Well,It was funny-sad at that point in time.

Trump won by less than two percent of votes. That is not a mandate and, yes, a close election.

Kamala’s relatively strong showing sent Dems a false signal. Those Dems who like her say, look, she almost won! Those who don’t like her say, “Look how weak she was. Dems will crush Reps with a better candidate.

The reality is that the Democrats are in deep trouble and need to stop resisting Trump and start helping working class and middle class voters.

Interesting. Neither Trump nor Elon is tweeting about this. They are hoping none of their followers tune in and hear a different view.

My gay friend don’t buy the “conservative upbringing” argument. Buttigieg is the son of college professors, at least one of them a Marxist. He wrote his high school essay about Bernie Sanders, socialist Senator from Vermont. And he stayed closeted in VERY gay-friendly environments, like Harvard, Oxford, McKinsey, and Democratic Party politics.

1/3 of my gay friends think he’s lying now, that he’s “on assignment” as gay. They point out that he has never ever been seen french kissing a man, including his husband.

2/3 think he is really gay and was lying before by staying totally closeted and only dating women until age 33. They don’t think he was scared of discrimination, they think his living a lie of being straight so deep into his adult life is a sign of extreme ambition and sociopathy.

The official Pete story, which is the one that I believe, is that he really didn’t know he was gay until his 30s. I’m probably right, and my gaydar gays are probably wrong. We’ll probably never know for sure. The takeaway is just that gay people don’t tend to like or trust Pete as much as straight Democratic strategists expect them to.

I’m gay and my partner and I have been together nearly 20 years. No one has seen me kiss anyone of the same or different sex. I don’t hate Pete. Gays are not a monolith.

It’s not about discretion. People have seen Pete kiss women. And his own claim is that he has never kissed any men until the first man kiss of his life, with the man he married but has never passionately kissed in public. Gay people don’t hate him, they just note correctly that this is not a typical life history for a gay man of Pete’s age and background.

I know, right? How many politicians have pp’s friends witnessed French kissing?

MAGA is worried about Senator Booker’s speech. As well it should be. He’s been laying out in detail how exactly Trump is harming millions of Americans for over 20 hours.

Exactly. As usual they are naked and afraid and trying to distract by changing the subject or derail the conversation.

Booker is on fire.

Yup. He’s digging into the tariff fiasco now. Amazing he’s still making sense.

Over 21 hours!
He’s taken over Cruz, who doesn’t really count because he couldn’t keep to the substance.

Thank you Cory Booker!
