He is objectively one of the people who has failed this moment.
At least he’s calling for himself to be replaced.
Me out now! Me out now! Me out now!
He’s either kicking himself out of office, or demanding his own sexual liberation.
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.
The worst part is, it’ll probably work
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…
who still think Bill Maher is worth listening to
Still? Maher was always a smirking centrist bell end.
I mean, yes, but he’s just gotten worse and worse, and as best I can tell, his viewer demographic is roughly the same people who think the New York Times represents ‘reasonable progressivism’ or something like that.
For those of us who are legit unaware … what did he do (or didn’t do) to get put on the shit list?
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.
Aipac Shakur has done nothing. Him and Schumer are both pro Israel and have rolled over and not fought for much.
Wait, I thought AIPAC Shakur was Hakeem Jeffries in the House.
You are 100% correct, I was confusing them.
…Does he realize he’s talking about himself?
Definitely not.
Me may still think his pointless filibuster will earn him leadership
Yep, we all agree, he needs to be replaced or taken out of the leadership position. We will not forget that he and schumer voted to end the shut down we were winning for no reason that I can see.
Motherfucker filibustered for over 24 hours, fasted in preparation to do so, only to undo every fucking word he spewed by voting in Trump’s nominees.
You’re right, Cory. So drop out of your fucking primary and endorse a real leader.
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 is definitely against litmus tests regarding AIPAC.
Yup. He needs to sit down.
this left-right divide is killing our country
So you want the nazi-simp vote. Got it.
“‘I’ve called for a generational renewal, because this left-right divide is killing our country and our adversaries know it.’ He also said that ‘purity tests’ within the party have led to more division in the US.”
yeah this is kind of the opposite issue of what anyone competent would want to address with chuck schumer
Its also just complete horseshit.
Anybody remeber how David Hogg was actually trying to do this, 9 months ago, earlier than that?
And… basically 0 large parts of the Dem fundraising apparatus got involved in any way?
And… because Hogg tried to do this… he got ousted from his position in the party?

You uh, you coulda said something at that point, Cory.
Flamethrowers for the ratfuckers, thats how they clean em up in the sewers of NYC, I hear.
These democrats think the problem is aversion to genocide and not blindly supporting the party. They would rather compromise with the Nazis, than challenge them from a leftist perspective:
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
Absolutely true.
But Booker ain’t that leader.
“Americans want a new generation of leaders that show that they can lift the whole country up,” Booker added. “It is time for a new vision of our country that is far more uniting that brings people together, doesn’t deepen divides.”
And I want to see the Epstein class in a supermax prison. You know, let them see the kind of prison system they advocate for first hand.
This is peak, “we need to move forward and not dwell on the past” chud rhetoric. What America needs is accountability and hostility to the right.
He desperately wants to be the Obama redux who shows he’s the bigger man by just forgiving all the crimes of his opponents. He dreams of an America where a black Muslim immigrant can share a Pepsi with the tatted up ICE agent in army surplus sent to deport his family.
I want to see them literally in a supermax prison.
As in, structural components of the walls.
Toss em into the framing, who cares if they get impaled on the rebar, pour the concrete.
Better idea, don’t do that with a prison, just make a new monument or something, the shame cube.
I like it, but bones don’t have the best structural integrity. Maybe they can be encased in concrete sculptures on the roof?
Just another example of Democrats acting like they oppose themselves in order to crush thier 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’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.
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…
The Democrats always seem to be coopting the people’s movements in order to dilute them and render them meaningless. People hate the Democrats. He’s trying to coopt that energy into making the Democrats stronger so that people will feel like they did something and nothing will change.
what opposition
Senator Andy Kim countered accusations that the Democratic party is divided, saying “this is the most united I’ve ever seen the Senate Democrats,”
That’s not a counter. Just because this is the most united he’s seen the Democratic party does not mean that it is united. Divided is the natural state of Democrats. It the words of Will Rogers, “I’m not a member of any organized political party…. I’m a Democrat.”
Oh you mean Senator Andy Kim who voted to confirm Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio and Sean Duffy? That Andy Kim?
If you smelt it you dealt it. Get out and make room for someone who actually gives a fuck
