Cory Booker says Democrats have ‘failed this moment’ and calls for new leaders

He is objectively one of the people who has failed this moment.

....Does he realize he's talking about himself?

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.

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.

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.

You're right, Cory. So drop out of your fucking primary and endorse a real leader.

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.

He is definitely against litmus tests regarding AIPAC.

Schumer's preference for centrist candidates

That is code for zionist first candidates. His extreme loyalty to Israel is disqualifying.

this left-right divide is killing our country

So you want the nazi-simp vote. Got it.

"'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

Then looks directly in the mirror unironocally

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.

Starting with himself, right? Pompous asshole.

Absolutely true.

But Booker ain't that leader.

“Americans want a new generation of leaders that show that they can lift the whole country up,” Booker added. “It is time for a new vision of our country that is far more uniting that brings people together, doesn’t deepen divides.”

And I want to see the Epstein class in a supermax prison. You know, let them see the kind of prison system they advocate for first hand.

If you smelt it you dealt it. Get out and make room for someone who actually gives a fuck

Just another example of Democrats acting like they oppose themselves in order to crush thier opposition.

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.”

Yeah, you first you poor excuse for a lukewarm wet towel.

David Hogg was working towards exactly that until the DNC ousted him. God forbid politicians do any fucking work.

Complaining about purity tests is often a dog whistle to say that the rights of minorities and women are expendable.

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.

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

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.

He’s a fucking leader so I guess he’s right?

The call is coming from inside the house

They need to come up with new and innovative ways to dump their entire base in favor of the mythical moderate center.

Cory Booker is a twat.

Corey Booker is a two faced liar

"We need new democratic leaders who are centrists unlike Hillary 'third way' Clinton, Joe 'tough on crime' Biden, and Kamala 'the cop' Harris."

Let me guess: he's the solution.

It's the same party just putting on a show to keep us complacent.

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 confused him with Cory Doctorow

In concept, he's right.

Democrats have spent far far far too much energy focusing on controversial wedge issues like gun control and trans issues.

If they focused on the issues that virtually all Americans can get behind, things like fixing our healthcare, getting corruption out of Washington and other parts of government, holding large corporations to account when they destroy our economy and ruin the environment, and overall making life and upward advancement affordable for average Americans, they would absolutely clean house in every election.

Instead they spend a ton of effort on things like gun control (which does nothing for their base but only alienates rural moderates and Republicans that might make the switch), and spend a ton of time getting bogged down in debates over stupid shit.

When that happens if they had a half a brain they would be doing table flip moments like why the fuck are we talking about which bathroom somebody uses when millions of Americans can't feed their fucking kids? Why are we obsessing over what kind of ID gets you into a voting booth when the middle class is dying? Why are we wasting billions of dollars in Iran when the same money spent here at home would fix healthcare or hunger or education? Are our own citizens not worth the time or expense? And why do we have national policies that encourage a CEO to amass more wealth than all of his hourly employees combined?
And if any of these things are important to us, why then could the Republicans as a minority grind the government to a halt under Obama, forcing us to negotiate with them, why can't we do the same? Why aren't we doing the same?

Get a bunch of Democrats to say this every time, every camera, every interview, and that they will stand up against their own party when it doesn't work to fix this, that's how you win elections.

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...

Throwing everyone under the bus to safe ur own ass.. smooth criminal here

I bet this asshole got a lot of noogies in school.
