I am kind of too scared to ask here, but what did it actually achieve?

    What did a single Trump rally achieve? Nothing. What did multiple years of Trump rallies achieve?

      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.

        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 made it feel so transparent that right now, it’s 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.

        Well, we will need to wait and see. The first Dem to consistently build an authentic movement though, wins with ease.

          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?
