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

    Think of it like a protest. Most protests don’t DO anything, but he forced the entire senate to sit and listen to him for 25 hrs rant about how bad things have gotten. I’m sure there was work and stuff they were supposed to vote on that he effectively delayed. But that’s all it really was, a record breaking protest.

      But it literally it was on the news for a day, that’s it.

      Protests go on for multi days and have a physical effect and achieve discomfort.

      Meanwhile, I don’t see the speech achieving a lot of that.
