I can still remember when Cory Booker blocked cheaper drug imports from Canada on some bullshit about how they don’t have acceptable safety standards, and I still think of him as the Senator from the pharmaceutical industry. I do not trust him and the physical feat of the filibuster was a superficial one that accomplished absolutely nothing. It was a virtue signaling performance.
This was my exact reaction too. Supposedly he stopped taking pharmaceutical money but he still takes lots of other corporate money. While I was searching, an AI summary said he was a business friendly progressive which seems like an oxymoron to me.
But whatever. I like performative over submissive.
