I am kind of too scared to ask here, but what did it actually achieve?

What did a single Trump rally achieve? Nothing. What did multiple years of Trump rallies achieve?

Will Cory Booker be giving multiple 25 hour speeches per day for multiple years? Because I just don't see Dems doing much more than coasting off this for the next four years.

The only actionable thing that was accomplished was a black senator took the record for longest speech from a segregationist arguing against people like Booker being able to safely vote. Which for that alone he should be congrulated and celebrated.

Well, we will need to wait and see. The first Dem to consistently build an authentic movement though, wins with ease.

Dem to consistently build an authentic movement

The whole point of Dems for the last forty years is they don't know what authenticity is. They think it's a marketing term and not a human condition.
