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.'"
I think this sentiment is good and happy to see something like this out of the Democrats for fucking once in their lives.
That said, Booker is a huge embodiment of the Democratic Party he's criticizing here. While certainly better than a ton in the traditional centrist camp like Schumer and Pelosi, Booker still towed the line the past 10 years since the DNC has actually been screwing over genuine progressives like Sanders.
If this is a genuine recognition of a failed strategy then great, but I'm skeptical.
He's literally "Do better, senator"-ing himself 🤯. Very meta.
Quite frankly, I don't give a f*** if they look in the mirror and say that they will do better. We've been calling on them to do better for many years, or decades even, depending who you are. Don't bother f****** telling us how you're going to f****** do better. Just start doing better already.
LOL
Their words are worthless.
Do something meaningful. At minimum, replace Jeffries and Schumer as leaders, and make it abundantly and publicly clear you did so because of capitulation to fascism.
I’ll believe it when I see it
Anyone know what he is filibustering?
He's not filibustering. He's grandstanding.
What happens when he needs to take a shit?
He probably has a diaper and a catheter. The rules don't let him sit or leave to use the bathroom.
Corey Booker spoke for a while, and we all lived happily ever after...
