(not real sure)
I can only say that while I thought Booker's marathon speech several weeks back - might have punched that ticket.
(certainly sparked some respect in this corner) The more recent childish antics - did not. And based on that reaction - no, I do NOT think that this kind of performative nonsense is going to motivate more people toward the polls. (and if anything - suspect the obverse?)

Booker is in essence here saying we must oppose ALL legislation ... That's not only grandstanding' - that's monumentally STUPID!
Sorry ... Afraid I am never going to be able to get behind 'activism' / 'motivation' - that is at its core - just plain dumb. Give me something to stand behind - rally for. 'Cause this sure ain't it!
