If they sit LONG ENOUGH maybe an Elected Official will notice and try to Change Things!

Leadership from the pro-genocide Dem who gave a "filibuster" that wasn't actually a filibuster and was just a long speech that didn't hold up any proceedings as this will also?

right. I'm prepared for the downvotes, I know you libs hate it when leftists point out that what dems are doing isn't worth jack.

So glad he's taking an actual stand by sitting around and doing nothing. This is the clear and direct action I was hoping for, from the do nothing democrats. /S /S /S

This is about as good as holding up signs. Fuck him

Reminder to others: "litmus test" people are almost certainly doing nothing, if not actively opposing our goals.

Where on the "effective direct action" scale is snidely criticizing the direct action of others online? Is that better or worse than holding up signs?

Booker must be avoiding another Judiciary Committee meeting on big tech.

This might do something if a million citizens join him. If not, this will -yet again- do nothing
