    Let me guess, he should be leader? Even though he’s part of the leadership that failed the moment?

      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…

            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.

        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.

    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.

    Objectively fucking hilarious.

    This man has been responsible for stomping down the voices who seek to replace him. AOC, Mamdani, Ossof, Platner…keep naming them.

    He is no different than Schumer. Fuck both of you.

      Yeah that was all practice for his upcoming imminent presidential bid.

      Don’t worry he’ll do the same thing to the people that came before him too.

    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.

    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.

      It wasn’t a filibuster. No legislation was being held up. He just gave a long speech as a performance piece. People keep trying to say he had the longest filibuster, but it literally wasn’t one.

    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.

    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.
