Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

  • Everything being done by the republicans is atrocious.
  • Trump isn't going for legislation, he's just signing executive orders.
  • Having someone visibly stand up, draw attention, and say "this isn't OK" is something some people need to hear, especially to get them to support and/or join in protest.

Sure you could complain that it isn't enough. And by itself, it isn't.

It still isn't nothing.

I don't want to hear "this isn't ok" from Cory Booker, one of the most outspoken Zionists in the entire US government. He has no moral framework to stand upon. He's a proponent of genocide and his contention with Trump is largely theatrical. If he truly had a backbone or even a soul there are a million better choices he could have made before reaching this point.

This guy has taken $893,998 from AIPAC. He's paid for just like the rest. Fuck this guy.
