So edgy. So reactionary. While I can't speak for Jeffries, Booker has been working: https://www.distractify.com/p/why-is-cory-booker-filibustering
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cory_Booker%27s_marathon_speech
Cory Booker is working for himself, Israel, and Big Pharm, in that order.
Please note that you and I are conspicuously absent from this list.
How is protesting cuts to Medicaid and social programs helping those you listed, and not benefiting you and me?
These are just trolls trying to continuously crush The United States by convincing people not to vote for the Democrats, creating A majority Republican voting pool.
My name is Jake Gless. Google me. I stand up straight for my positions. Nothing troll-like here from me. I am a bleeding heart.
Have you considered the possibility that I’m right and maybe you’re not? Cory Booker is NOT the answer. CORY BOOKER IS THE PROBLEM. I will not support self-serving neolibs.
Send me a face pic holding up 3 fingers to prove you are you.
wtf…I’ve been supporting you in another thread this morning about the Vancouver massacre. Cory “Spartacus Tears-of-Rage” Booker is as fake and performative as a slimy politician could ever be. I despise him.
image sent, check your DM
***edit: wait a sec…are you a komradebot? maybe you need to send me a photo with the hang loose handsign.
Confirmed an image holding up 3 fingers. However I will note that googling your name got no matching faces. Are you saying you’re the Lakewood teacher? Or?
*Was. No principals ever had the backbone to hire me again after I stood up for what’s right.
That is me. Not a right-wing troll, not remotely. Who are you?
That was a pretty shitty situation.
This was not a back and forth identity deal.
Okaydokay komradebot. Looks like we can both agree now which one of us is legitimate and which one of us is not.
I despise internet anonymity for its duplicitousness almost as much as I despise Cory Booker for his duplicitousness.
I don’t know who komradebot is, but I can promise you I’m not Russian nor interested in anything ML has to say.
And yes, booker doesn’t really shine, to put it mildly.
Did you vote in the 2024 presidential election?
Did you brush your teeth this week? I got all A’s in college and a National Merit Award before that. Get to the point and just tell me why you think I’m not as intelligent or as informed as yourself, please.
I never made those accusations.
Did you vote or not?
Still can’t access the newest comments to reply directly to them.
Of course I voted, you stablegenius. I only told you that to see where you were trying to go. You are trying to claim a snooty highroad over me. I voted. I always vote. You have severely lost credibility by attempting this highroading. You have NOTHING over me. Do better.
So, you voted for whom?
Or they're people that actually want change and a better life for us all. And that's not coming via either current party in the US.
Very true. I hope they have the day they voted for.
I'm not interested in self indulgent showmanship, I'm interested in supposed left wingers espousing left wing views and acting up on them.
Maintaining the ratchet effect for the right and insider trading your way to a comfortable retirement isn't admirable, it's pathetic.
We'll all continue to vote to slow the progression to the far right but why shouldn't we expect more than that?
