    That’s how you know it’s performative

    To filibuster you just need to say “_____ would filibuster this”.

    Ideally using your own name, or someone else’s, but sometimes even saying “someone” will is enough to stop a vote from happening.

    It takes virtually no effort to filibuster something meaningful, and instead he did this bullshit and mainstream media all demanded we clap for a neoliberals accomplishing nothing.
