Booker is a bloodthirsty murderer. I feel sick when I see liberals praising his pointless grandstanding. He's been a sneering Zionist scumbag his whole career.

Liberals are trying to play some kind of critical support angle with their favorite Democrats, but what they're trying (and failing) to criticize is literal genocide. There is no "you gotta hand it to them." They're demons in the flesh. They're irredeemable. No amount of liberal hand-wringing and "how dare you" will revive Palestinian women and children.

Liberals. Please demand something better than the bare minimum. The bare minimum here is not committing genocide.

Can't wait for libs in 2028 to start demanding votes for Booker, Josh Shapiro, or other Zionists, and we have to have this argument all over again.

Can't wait for them to drop "but that was four years ago!" as if the worst crime people can do to one another just washes away in the time it takes to get a bachelor's degree.

Inconvenient truth downvoters are weapons-grade liberalism.

This is why I didn't vote for Harris. You can't gaslight me into believing you care about the rights of marginalized groups of people, the environment, democracy, housing, healthcare, and freedom, while you are openly supporting fascism, apartheid and genocide with my taxes.

You really showed people how to make a difference now that... Trump is in?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Ignore for a second that voting does not actually makes a difference in U.S. foreign policy.

Every third party anti-genocide protest voter changing their vote for Harris in every battleground state is not enough to make up for the margins Harris lost by. But keep believing in the narrative that somehow it's the left's fault and not the goofy ass campaign decisions and Biden clinging to power until the 11th hour.

She was always doomed.

I don't think it makes sense to keep up with this "look what you idiots did" garbage i see so often because, as you said, it isn't a guarantee that it would made a difference, unsolicitedly gloating at someone that their poor decision has lead to increased misery is gross and counterproductive, and it inherently reduces the ultimate culpability on Republican voters that did in fact directly vote for this and should all be held to account. That said, there is a good chance that between abstentions, third party protest votes, and the distribution of both across the critical EC votes, the movement may have tipped the scales--but there is really no way to know either way.

I'm not the one that keeps attempting to punch left and blame leftists for liberal failures. It is only liberal Harris defenders that continually bring this up. But let's fact check this.

The data shows that you cannot blame third party voters for the failures to garner enough voters to beat Donald Trump. Even if you convinced every single third party voter it still wouldn't be enough. There's no way count abstentions, but you have no proof to make the claim. Liberals need to stop making the claim and lying.

Are you replying to the wrong post? You are effectively agreeing with me but just wrapping it up in a shitty unnecessarily aggro tone?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No I am not replying to the wrong post. I am being aggressive towards the gaslighting that liberals are not to blame for their own failures. I cited the best data we have available to us and it points to the narrative that third party voters did not hand republicans the election like liberals like to claim in order to deflect all blame away from themselves. It's an undefendable position because it is one not grounded in reality.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 weeks ago

Yea, ok. Just gonna block and move on. Another hyper aggro .ml just doing the same bullshit as libs on the flipside of the same shitsucking coin. Have the life and day you deserve!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (24 children)

LoL, you think their vote either way is how they would make a difference. I too would not vote for anyone who is pro-genocide. What a shit voting system. Democracy my arse.

Trump and musk are destroying the empire

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

When a Democrat admits to "mistakes" in their past, it's always something like advocating for the mass-murder of brown children, and you can rest assured that they will not miss the next chance to advocate for the same thing again.

Edit: Oh, actually, he devoted part of this rant to being pro-genocide. Nevermind, as usual, Dems are even worse than you can imagine.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Never forget when Corey Booker fillibusterred for 1.5 years since October 2023.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

There we go

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

So to be clear

  • Democrats should do something
  • But not this
  • Also he's basically a nazi himself

It's amazing the well organized nazi party wins all the time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

If only he would've had a heart attack during his pathetic show

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We need a nickname for him.

How about 'Bloody Hands' Booker?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Gory Booker

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I think thisbis from 2023? Wonder if he stills feels that way.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He declared his fealty to Israel and his support for the genocide during his “filibuster.”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Wow well that settles it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He literally said as much in his recent publicity stunt. Don't really need to wonder.

Cory Booker voted against Bernie's resolution to stop sending 2.000 pound bombs Israel yesterday. So the answer is a resounding 'yes'.

Would be nice if we saw that during his speech maybe someone with some mild editing skills can do it.
