Senator Brooker has been filibustering the senate for almost 20 hours. Reading testimony from american people who are suffering under trump. He’s crying and begging people to take action. He’s pleading for our dying democracy, saying that’s all he can do. We are all really suffering right now. We need unity. If you have a chance there are good democrats on the senate floor right now doing everything they can to stop republican legislation. Not all democrats are bad eaither. A lot of people really care. if you can watch this filibuster it might be the longest in history, and it may give you some hope that there are representatives that care and are trying to find a solution. They are hearing us.

Nah if you’ve ever lived near a big city you know based leftists who are amazing intelligent people. And ya if you’ve been on the internet you also know the purity testing and violence they can represent.

At this point im just trying to figure out who reluctantly voted for Kamala, and who stubbornly handed trump an election with Jill Stien. I want those lefts out. Their views do not reflect the democrats. They are just using democrats to push their ideology, but they are not here for us when it matters. I don’t want the people who would ignore the danger trump represented any more than i want the DNC who failed to counter him.

What im sayin’ is I hope you good lefties win the purity test once and for all. We need you guys but you are not a large enough voting base to concede popular issues to.

Hey california has a super progressive college system. instate tuition at community college 90% paid by the state? Thats like the most based social service in this country. It allowed a poor kid from the midwest like me to pay for college while working at the college.

It’s not just him, the whole rightwing media system exists to turn the most extreme leftist political views and state that these are main stream. It’s been 10 years and we have no counter to it.

This would make a great republican campaign slogan. Maybe newsom has a good shot replacing trump

Yea i’ve been trying to figure out whats going on with Newsom, but im convinced at this point he’s just a power hungery politican running to the winning team. Values as deep as his career will allow.

I love my local leftists. Very civic minded. Tend to their communities. Do support great local legislation. They volunteer to feed the homless and create community programs. It’s the internet leftists that exist to score points that are giving them a bad name.

Also leftist policy gets more dicey at a larger scale. I’d love to see more leftist in state government, i realistically dont expect them to gain much national traction for another generation or two. Authoritarianism will have a leftist reaction, i pray its not a violent one.

My guy he has been speaking from 7 PM last night to 2PM today. He’s going to set the record for longest filibuster. I’m filled with hope and emotion listening to his words. He can barely stand after 19 hours on his feet and he’s still PLEADING FOR US.

What are you talking about? Thats a full day of the legislature. There are only like 500 days left in the term. LETS GOOOOOOOO

That’s my new angle with them. It became apparent last night that if they can’t have their views be popular, then 330 million people should suffer.

No need to reflect on how fringe and minority those views may be. No need to reflect on the suffering inaction will cause.

Claim the moral high ground and never let anyone up with you!

Go Bernie! Go Go! Go Bernie!! I hope all the dem senators can keep the floor forever. it’s been so inspiring watching brooker and the senators helping him make this historic event. longest filibuster in american history.

Any time taken up on the senate floor prevents a bill from being introduced. So we just need to do this for another 2 years, and no MAGA laws for you. Sorry little maga boi

There’s a bill in the house that is going to remove congressional oversight from executive branch. Allow these executive orders to have much more weight. unitary executive theory? So you want more executive over reach or should we fight to keep the power of the people in the halls of congress?

I agree, but one of my biggest points im trying to get out in the world is we can’t make decisions based on Optics we don’t control. We need to control the optics, and the narrative. We do good things, we are not good at taking credit for them and helping voters understand them.

So we’re always going to lose and the republicans are already blaming their recession on Biden.

Yea there’s a lot of that going on in here. Mind boggling how so many people can criticize a government they are willfully ignorant of. The people most desperate to exercise their political will can’t seem to manage to figure out how. I’m trying to help them. we need that kind of passion.

I love loopholes. So what you’re saying is it’s better than a filibuster because it can’t be shut down. So this is a positive trend where we can just hold the senate floor and read out letters from American citizens instead of voting to legalize trumps insanity?

You’re speaking my language now. I really rejoice in your idea.

it is an absolute clownshow out there for sure! We need to stop it before it gets way out of hand and has cataclysmic effects.

It is litterally a filibuster. You are gaslighting, thats why people are upset. If democrats make it clear no bipartisan legislation will pass, thats the only opposition we have.

Holding the senate floor for 2 years is the only good idea the democrats have come up with thus far.

Thanks for sharing that. Shun the traitors!

To be fair i think most of us thought Rubio would have a spine and be effective at a position he was at least qualified for. I’m gonna give everyone who voted on him a break. the rest are inexcusable.
