cory booker is, at the time I'm writing, filibustering the senate and preventing any actions by the fascist-controlled Congress

if he continues for 30,000 hours, the trump administration will be over and he'll have singlehandedly saved what's left of democracy. that would be unlikely, but, maybe it wouldn't be hard for 30000 people to slow down fascism by one hour each. or 2 million people to slow fascism down by a minute.

There are some limitations to the Filibuster:

  • things that don't require a senate vote don't get a filibuster
  • confirmation hearings for secretaries and judges don't get a filibuster
  • certain types of bill such as budgets, so long as they avoid specifically off limit contents, don't get a filibuster so long as they can pass the house again

Also of note is Trump's term could get a lot shorter if after the midterm elections the 53 GOP senate seats became closer to 40 and/or if enough GOP were convinced to vote to remove Trump.

Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.
