I was hoping to find something to the tune of 'look how far the cheese in my mozzarella stick stretches' and this scratched that itch. Thank you stranger.

“Cory Booker’s Marathon Speech”
It wasn’t a filibuster

What's the difference? Honest question as a non-american.

A filibuster is to prevent a specific piece of legislation from being voted on and passed into law.

It's a filibuster when it is during the debate part of voting for a bill, used for a variety of reasons, usually to block the final vote. There was no bill being voted on when Sen. Booker took the floor to talk. The next action taken on the floor once Booker yielded was to bring a vote to the floor for a executive position nominee. If he began speaking after that motion was brought, then it would have been a filibuster.

I don’t know if there actually is any difference. But, the last filibuster I remember was Ted Cruz reading dr Seuss. Booker’s filibuster had a bit more useful content than that.

Why would you respond like this when everyone's saying there's definitely a difference? If you don't know just wait and see.

A filibuster blocks specific legislation. This did not. It has nothing to do with partisan optics and everything to do with the literal definition of the word.

This was blocking several pieces of republican legislation. Play semantics all you want, I’ll call it how I see it.

Which specific pieces of legislation? The last thing the Senate did yesterday afaik was vote on the NATO ambassador.

u/rookieseaman 2d ago
It was about blocking all legislation, or in his words, “disrupting the normal business of the senate”. That’s the purpose of filibusters, regardless of whether or not there’s a specific legislation being voted on. Again, I don’t care to play semantics with you, so good day.

Think about it, the US Senate isn't constantly voting on things on a day to day basis, legislation has to be written first. This senator was merely using time that was freely available. You can plainly see that on Senate's schedule of that day was here: https://www.senate.gov/

It's not "playing semantics" to use words correctly just because you want to use them incorrectly. That's just you choosing to use words incorrectly and getting mad at everyone else for it
