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.
