I mean, veterans did mostly vote for Trump, so...

Best summation yet.

I'm jealous, but best of luck! If you don't mind sharing, where are you headed? We daydream of moving to a Nordic country, but pretty much anywhere would do.

Yup.

Just a big 12 hour pile of Democratic bullshit instead of action.

Get ready to be downvoted into oblivion for being smart enough to realize talking gets us nowhere.

Standing and delivering a speech for 25 hours straight is a genuinely incredible physical and mental feat.

So is eating 73 hot dogs in 10 minutes. What does it accomplish?

give voices to seniors worried about losing social security, and to draw more attention to the absolutely broken state of our government

Everybody paying attention is already aware of these things. What does repeating them accomplish?

Most of it will look like talking until the talking pushes people to start acting

Our representatives are the ones who are supposed to be acting. Again, what did this speech accomplish?

He's not filibustering. He's grandstanding.

Because it is.

Wow, Booker's grandstanding is really having an effect!

Yup. Useless theatrics are all the democratic party is capable of these days.

This technically isn't a filibuster. He's not blocking any legislation or appointments. He's just talking, and we know how far talking gets us.

How good are the school’s sports teams

It's utterly enraging that this has actually become a thing.

Are you opposing legislation by holding the floor and not allowing it to get introduced?

Booker isn't either. Again, in case you missed it:

"Booker’s speech is not a filibuster because it is not blocking legislation or a nomination."

Booker is grandstanding. Talking. Talking gets us nowhere. Is he DOING anything? No. The entire party is rudderless, weak, and borderline complicit. ACTUALLY complicit in the cases of Schumer and Fetterman and Durbin, to name a few.

But your never really sure who is in which group

It's pretty easy to determine which group our representatives are in.

as if

See? You don't even truly believe they'll happen. But hey, you do you

I thought Finland hated Russia?

Midterms? You think there will be midterms? Optimist!

I tried to appeal, because sure.. if a community has rules, and I break them, I can own that. But the post had already been "removed by moderator" so I couldn't even see what it said. It wasn't even in my post history. I asked "The offending post has been removed, is there a way to see it so I can address the issue regarding my ban? I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong." I've been banned before, I know how it goes.

Response: "Your appeal has been denied." End of story. Not even a fair chance at appeal. Nothing I would have said would have mattered, because it was pro-Luigi.

It's okay though, Reddit will be the next Twitter/X in a few months. Nothing of value will be lost.

They are trying to break the government beyond all repair. At that point they'll say it's the Democrats that broke it.

Their cult members will swallow the lie hook line and sinker, and continue to keep them in power. (Side note, this will be made easier by gutting all election oversight as part of the package.)

Meanwhile, all that tax money we paid into Social Security, SNAP, Medicaid and Medicare, Unemployment insurance... basically any program meant to help people, will flow directly into billionaire's pockets.

Fuckin John Brown. The hero we need.
