I am kind of too scared to ask here, but what did it actually achieve?

    Booker’s speech was an audition for Schumer’s job. He laid out his vision of the Democratic agenda, and showed strength doing it, contrasting with that craven, corrupt, simpering, weak, vile, weenie Schumer.

    Schumer is in the way, and needs to retire immediately, and make way for AOC to take his seat.

    If Schumer leaves, Booker become Minority leader, and AOC goes to the Senate, that speech will have acvomplished a lot.

      Bookers 24h subathon showed strength nor vision. There was nothing differing him from Schumer except his age and skin color. According to liberal logic this makes Booker a worse candidate than Schumer.
