“Sen. Cory Booker’s pointless imitation filibuster epitomizes Democrats’ pathetic incoherence in the wake of last November’s defeats. The New Jerseyan took to the floor not to achieve something, or even to oppose anything in particular, but as a stunt to symbolize how these are not normal times. Which, actually, nobody who paid any attention denies. The self-promoting, 25-hour marathon drew a few curious viewers online, and might have spoken to those in the party’s left-wing base who are still fuming that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) didn’t force a government shutdown last month. But it did nothing to thwart the Senate GOP majority or slow the Trump agenda. And it certainly didn’t win back a single swing voter. Such symbolic performances are as onanistic as politics gets, but that’s where Dems are right now.” (04/01/25)
