He is definitely against litmus tests regarding AIPAC.
Yup. He needs to sit down.
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
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...
For those of us who are legit unaware ... what did he do (or didn't do) to get put on the shit list?
Aipac Shakur has done nothing. Him and Schumer are both pro Israel and have rolled over and not fought for much.
....Does he realize he's talking about himself?
Definitely not.
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.
You're right, Cory. So drop out of your fucking primary and endorse a real leader.
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.
You're talking about Jeffries, not Booker.
Well fuck, that's embarrassing. I thought they were the same guy until I just compared a video of Jeffrie and Booker. I guess I put them in the same category of shitty.

To be clear, these guys don't need to be perfect, but they clearly are looking out for their own interests.
Easy way to know the difference between the two. Booker is fucking Rosario Dawson.
Jeffries isn't.
Not anymore. Another L for the establishment
Why not both?
Because in terms of voting record, Booker actually doesn't look that bad: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gPBdBrqVCbtuy7f1bjOdCDUzEv5RqbbU1yYAr3KoHYE He is on 8th place.
Voting Score - 65%
Left Score - 73%
It looks like Booker isn't necessarily good, but more everyone else is absolutely terrible. Unless I'm not understanding how these scores work?
Edit: after looking it over, a lot of money for Israel, confirming Trump selections, and Crypto shit. Otherwise solid.
When your nonprofit is declared a terrorist organization (for being anticapitalist), crypo is key to bypassing the PayPal donation blockaid.
See Wiki leaks and Occupy.
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.”
Starting with himself, right? Pompous asshole.
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.
Absolutely true.
But Booker ain't that leader.
"'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
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:
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.
Yes the Dems need to be near completely replaced including this moron. Anyone not bare minimum left of center (and that starts at being against capitalism) needs to go.
Yeah, you first you poor excuse for a lukewarm wet towel.
They need to come up with new and innovative ways to dump their entire base in favor of the mythical moderate center.
Lmao democrats are actively complicit in this moment and the many countless moments in the past [pick a time range] that led to this moment
I wonder how many people are confusing booker and Jeffries. Is booker (senator from NJ) in a leadership role? While he sucks for his own reasons, if he wants to boot Schumer, I'm with him on that at least.
He has his moments. So far as I’ve seen, Jefferies doesn’t.
Yep I'm definitely out of it. My brain subbed in Doctorow and I was trying to figure out wtf he did to justify the comments...
