Democrats in Congress are experts at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, I get it. But what the senator did is something that would inspire individuals to organize into groups to put more pressure on the administration and its allies. Booker put a part of himself on the line, got his message out there.
After this is the part where the Democratic minority of the Senate, conceivably, will fail to follow through and organizing together and amongst their constituents and putting pressure on red state senators. At least I heard Booker was doing something along those lines in NJ this weekend. If they can force a 60%-80% productive work week in the Republican Senate that is something.
