Senate floor stunts proved a less than useless salve for sinking approval as they epitomized the Democratic Party’s “pathetic incoherence.”
“Oh my goodness gracious, you just can’t get it worse than these numbers.”
With all the drama of Shakespeare, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker (D) embarked on a marathon speech to kick off the week, surpassing 25 hours of “sound and fury signifying nothing.” The political theater was followed by a self-congratulatory media tour that proved Spartacus the ultimate April Fool as new polling data found his party sunk to a new low with a mere 21% approval among voters.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten presented the results of a Quinnipiac University Poll that highlighted the internal woes for the party virtue signaling as a mere 40% of their voters approved of their congressional performance. By contrast, 49% of Democrat voters disapproved, along with 68% of all voters against the leftist lawmakers.
“Horrible, horrible, horrible. Oh my goodness gracious, you just can’t get it worse than these numbers,” said Enten while CNN commentator Scott Jennings shared the results on X with the caption, “Turns out when you die on every 80-20 hill, you wind up at roughly 20%. Who could’ve known?”

The timing and content of Booker’s masturbatory magnum opus wholly aligned with the death spiral that his party is perpetuating. As the New York Post’s editorial board remarked, “Sen. Cory Booker’s pointless imitation filibuster epitomizes Democrats’ pathetic incoherence in the wake of last November’s defeats.”
The newspaper punditry went on to add a biblical reference to suggest, “Such symbolic performances are as onanistic as politics gets, but that’s where Dems are right now.”
Others called out the stunt for what it lacked in the midst of the latest acts of political violence from radicals opposed to President Donald Trump’s efforts to cut waste in the federal government with the help of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.
“Cory Booker spoke for over 24 hours straight but didn’t condemn vandalism, arson, or terror attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships by Democrats. Must’ve run out of time,” opined the Western Lensman account as one response suggested, “That’s a day he’ll never get back, accomplished nothing, and was likely only watched by 10% of the 21% that still somehow think the Democratic Party is not insane. It’ll make some great memes though.”

He’s nothing but a sideshow act.

Keep him going. All he did was double down on failed woke Democrat policy. Plus, he became deranged at some point.

That apparently didn’t cross his mind. They’d rather support policies with less than 20% approval.

“I don’t like that the Trump administration won the election so I’m going to complain for 24 hours.”
Bravo. 21% approval rating and dropping.
I’m sure this is what the people wanted to see.

It seems that Spartacus had another epic fail

As the senator’s swamp theatrics quickly joined his plan of identical propaganda videos ahead of the president’s joint address to Congress with myriad other harebrained schemes to sell talking points without substance, reactions to the Democratic Party’s dismal approval rating, particularly among their own members, prompted a considerable number of suggestions on what they might do next to “keep digging their own holes” on a path some hoped would lead to 1%.
Let them keep digging their own holes. I wonder if they can eventually get to 1% approval?

Maybe a new dance? Or a press conference where they express outrage?
— Ellie A (@EllieGAnders) April 1, 2025
Maybe a few more cleverly worded social media posts will turn things around for them.

Yeah. Maybe some cursing, too. And, per Tim Walz, redoubling the party’s focus on woke issues. That should do the trick.

They need a new Street Fighter video meme. STAT!
