Yea if you hear someone rabidly cheering guillotine the couch fucker thats me.

Saturday state capital! I think I will put a picture of the gallows on a sign. You know the ones from Jan 6.

it's so hard to know what's legal to day but at least we know its okay to build gallows and chant about hanging the sitting VP. Might even storm that capital and shit on a MAGA legislators desk. You know since thats legal. I'm only covering legal freedom of speech, don't want to do to much non-violent protest since it's been deemed illegal.

The distinction everyone is making is usually filibusters are held during a bill debate, before a bill can go to vote. In theory you would have to filibuster indefinitely until one side can get 60 votes to end the filibuster and pass the vote. It forces the other party to gather a larger majority or compromise.

This was delaying a vote on a nomination, it was also proving that they can and will filibuster, not just threaten to filibuster, but talk for 25 hours straight. someone should have continued after him because the nomination passed and i am sad again. 52 votes so more dem defectors yay.

idk where politico and news week are getting their definition of a filibuster, but talking for 24 hours to hold off a nomination vote is a filibuster to me. My community college education may have failed me but i interpret a 25 hour speech on the senate floor a filibuster.

I am super duper confident when welfare and social services get cutt down we will hear the collective screaming of MAGA first. I'm kinda into seeing my theory in action.

That made me genuinely laugh.

The lib comment was mostly directed at schumer and caving on the CR. Lots of people supported his decision, i think people are getting hurt either way, dont give up any leverage. The people arn't going to really hurt if the government shuts down for a week. especially if it opens back up less violent and oppressive. But they will see that hey wait i am a recipient of the governments services I need those.

I think we need to let people touch the stove a bit, not starve them to death but im pretty sure trump voters need a reminder that they are cashing welfare checks in greater proportion than most.

I have a bunch of leftist friends who are really awesome people and do a ton of work for the community. They are our social workers, teachers genuinely people you love to have around. I know the difference between a leftist and a tankie. Fuck hate tankies my god.

Does your opinion motivate people to oppose republicans? Does it inform and empower them to oppose fascists? Or does it strip them of their power, make them feel disenfranchised and steal attention away from something good?

Idk who does your opinion benefit? Im not checking the thread so you tell me. I usually call em like i see em, but im hot on the keyboard right now. did you say something that stole power away from the opposition? Are you diminishing hope of change?

Im feeling more motivated to action. I hope people are watching and feeling the same. It's been cathartic hearing him scream what i want to scream.

Damn you are the first person to share that very articulate opinion. Thanks so much! Have you checked the 25 hour long live filibuster yet? Or just pop in to share this bold piece of wisdom we were dying to hear?

Seriously i feel like god just handed me the first commandment.

I went off to college back in the great recession so it really was like the best option i could find. The experience really shaped me as a person and im so greatful i didn't lose my chance at education to poverty in a recession.

I'm sorry to hear they prevented you from that program. No system is without need for reform. Hopefully they can continue to improve the system and make it more inclusive.

I guess you sound pretty silly, because you're not listening to the live stream being discussed. I really hope you tune in and listen, if not thats fine. There's plenty of other posts to rage on. You don't really sound informed enough for me to deal with and you're clearly not willing to discuss the live filibuster so bugger off?

Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha THE TRUE COMMUNIST EVERYBODY. He's soooo much better than us he just can't articulate why. Please do tell what is this mutal aid you're doing and who's financing it.

I've got some extra firearms if you need one to defend yourself. Im pretty sure ice isn't gonna come arrest me and the retired old ladies protesting in front of the capital, but it would make good news for the cause. Idk i refuse to live in fear. I refuse to live like a impotent fool. Go do something besides discourage people from being productive.

That's how im trying to reach out to my MAGA voting buddies. It's hard to get through the layers of shame and "fuck joe biden dems eat babys" but theres a person underneath those cheap defenses.

Man you got a lot of opinions for a guy afraid of protesting and boycotting? Are you afwaid of a wittle ice at your wokal pwotest? What are you suggesting here?

He's saying everything that people are saying in this room, in the internet, to our familys. this is a true call to americans. It's speaking to everyones shared values. Tune in and remember what americans believe in. It's just reading american letters and telling stories and exposing republicans. It's the most based protest to hit the senate floor that i can remember. I feel less hopeless. I've been begging for someone in congress to do ANYTHING. This is a thing. my prayers have been answered.

Keep sharing, keep streaming, we need to flood this and show the media and politicians that this is what we want. Turn off your TV and your tick tock and tune into the the endless filibuster. Endless sit in!! Lets go dems!!!

Yes because democrats are pushovers. Everyone knows that. Nice of Booker to show up with his spine and his shit talking voice. He's a legend for this.

We might have to hold the flooor and filibuster for 2 years straight to save old America. Im glad somones got the balls to show up and do it. I'm here for it. In this house all we do is listen to filibuster and support the peoples power.

hahahaha i have a buddy that does odd folky stuff, i can dig anything if its got heart. I will check it out after the filibuster.

DNC bad, DNC suppress good democrats, and elevates bad ones. Lets figure out who the good ones are and empower them outside of the DNC.
