    “We need new democratic leaders who are centrists unlike Hillary ‘third way’ Clinton, Joe ‘tough on crime’ Biden, and Kamala ‘the cop’ Harris.”

    There is no leadership that can make a system designed from the ground up to screw workers and minorities in order to enrich billionaires work in the interests of workers and minorities. You can’t reform rot.

    He also said that “purity tests” within the party have led to more division in the US.

    What he’s saying is he wants more Conservatives in the Democratic party.

    F this guy and his failure of Democratic leadership.

    He’s not the worst, but he’s definitely part of the problem. When he calls for new leadership, he really means give it to him, and he wouldn’t be much better than Schmuckie Boy. He’d be just as Zionist, that’s for sure.

    If Booker becomes president, MAGA will be back in power 4 years later.

      So on one hand people here hate the Democrat leadership (with good reason). But now when this guy is speaking out against the Democrat leadership, you criticize them for internal division?

        You have to actually listen and pay attention to more than the most absolute surface level stuff. He wants people who are worse.

        The enemy of your enemy is not your friend if they’re just looking for a power grab. In fact, they could very likely be a lot worse.

        He wants to maintain the current right-wing leadership, not to put someone in charge who’d actually do anything differently. Replacing Schumer with another corporate stooge is a guaranteed way to continue losing elections and capitulating to MAGA.

        He’s part of that leadership. He’s part of the problem. We want real change for working people, he just wants to change who’s getting the corporate bribes.

      I can only imagine the thought in his head is:

      If I say this first, and loudest, it therefore cannot apply to me, because I called it out.

      Fucking terminal shitlib brain; everything is optics, history and context don’t exist beyond when I want to A/B test some rhetoric.

          Good. If Cory Booker sees the way the winds are blowing and wants to start pushing in that direction, good.

          You can tell Fox News is scared because when I googled his name, I got

          Top stories - Fox News- Cory Booker confronted with old clip of himself saying he loves Donald Trump

          (The context is that he’s religious and loves all people, including his enemies, but of course they leave that out.)

            Google knows who you are and tailors your search results for you specifically, so the top results on Google aren’t an indicator of a general trend, it’s what they think you’ll click on and/or ads

          At this point… basically only on doddering idiot dem voters who still think Bill Maher is worth listening to.

          … I wonder if there are more detailed numbers on how his viewership stats break down…

        He confirmed a handful of Trumps appointees (one is a relative of Jared Kushner IIRC). He also hasn’t really done anything to stop all this outside his 27 hour filibuster , which didn’t actually filibuster anything.

        I’m not as angry as others are about Bookers statement here but he still hasn’t done much to stop anything.
