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.
David Hogg was working towards exactly that until the DNC ousted him. God forbid politicians do any fucking work.
They ratfucked Bernie too.
Complaining about purity tests is often a dog whistle to say that the rights of minorities and women are expendable.
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.
Let me guess, he should be leader? Even though he’s part of the leadership that failed the moment?
Then looks directly in the mirror unironocally
I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
If you smelt it you dealt it. Get out and make room for someone who actually gives a fuck
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.
Just another example of Democrats acting like they oppose themselves in order to crush thier opposition.
what opposition
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?
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.
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.
Possibly - but the people here complaining were not very articulate about it…
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.
Corey Booker is a two faced liar
“We need new democratic leaders who are centrists unlike Hillary ‘third way’ Clinton, Joe ‘tough on crime’ Biden, and Kamala ‘the cop’ Harris.”
The call is coming from inside the house
It’s the same party just putting on a show to keep us complacent.
In concept, he’s right.
Democrats have spent far far far too much energy focusing on controversial wedge issues like gun control and trans issues.
If they focused on the issues that virtually all Americans can get behind, things like fixing our healthcare, getting corruption out of Washington and other parts of government, holding large corporations to account when they destroy our economy and ruin the environment, and overall making life and upward advancement affordable for average Americans, they would absolutely clean house in every election.
Instead they spend a ton of effort on things like gun control (which does nothing for their base but only alienates rural moderates and Republicans that might make the switch), and spend a ton of time getting bogged down in debates over stupid shit.
When that happens if they had a half a brain they would be doing table flip moments like why the fuck are we talking about which bathroom somebody uses when millions of Americans can’t feed their fucking kids? Why are we obsessing over what kind of ID gets you into a voting booth when the middle class is dying? Why are we wasting billions of dollars in Iran when the same money spent here at home would fix healthcare or hunger or education? Are our own citizens not worth the time or expense? And why do we have national policies that encourage a CEO to amass more wealth than all of his hourly employees combined?
And if any of these things are important to us, why then could the Republicans as a minority grind the government to a halt under Obama, forcing us to negotiate with them, why can’t we do the same? Why aren’t we doing the same?Get a bunch of Democrats to say this every time, every camera, every interview, and that they will stand up against their own party when it doesn’t work to fix this, that’s how you win elections.
I confused him with Cory Doctorow
