This is the stupidest most performative bullshit we ever saw from the Democrats. His filibuster did nothing. Not a single good material action came from this performative bullshit.
Fuck Cory Booker and the horse he rode in on.

I'm pretty sure I saw something about how when he made that speech he was also dodging a committee meeting where he would've been expected to speak out against big tech and Ai and such - people who have been his donor's even (?? I can't quite recall, and I can't quite fucking find it because any Google of Cory Booker brings up his epic speech and how dope it was)
Unfortunately I've often had to resort to using deepseek to help clarify these things because it tends to be better at getting unbiased information. Google is so bought and paid for that it's not even funny
You could do something like setup a metasearch engine like searxng. Tends to help.
Good idea. I'll look into that
He did nothing and wrote a book about it?
He wrote a book about doing nothing in a performative manor.
Or wrote the book first and just did nothing in the senate to sell it
Does he mention in the book how he scheduled it for that day so that he could avoid a committee meeting (which he was a part of) that was questioning some businesses which were among his larger donors?
And that it didn't actually stop him for voting for Trump things?
This is the most democrat thing I've ever heard. Make a huge deal about doing something purely symbolic when there were actual ways to do something, receive your praise, then write a memoir about how great you did
Cory, in case you didn't notice, it's still kind of early to be taking a victory lap, my dude.
the performance is the accomplishment!
Cory's initial claim to fame was a documentary about how he lost a mayoral race to an obviously corrupt incumbent, Sharpe James. This motherfucker loves to lose.
stand 
for something?
Yes, for the incoming book sales.
“This book is about the virtues vital to our success as a nation and lessons we can draw from generations of Americans who fought for them,”
so, a boring pile of ahistorical idealism and a reiteration of the stupid fables America teaches its children
I wondered what the grift was but in hindsight this is obvious. Probably had his ghost writer working on it before the speech
2028 run is the real prize
Nominative determinism.
perhaps there's hope someone will book him in for a flight over Russian airspace in Ukraine then
I hope the book sales are humiliating
What a normal country, where spending 24 hours of nonsense preaching is somehow an achievement.
Stand
Fucking aces.
I'm always so happy when our elected officials finally find their grift.
