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.’”

    Don’t deflect; instead of an ultimately performative action, why didn’t he do this when it could have done some actual good and possibly protected people by blocking one or more of trump’s policies?

    I know that sincerely engaging with this question may be intellectually uncomfortable for you, but please at least attempt to critically revaluate your pre-conceived notions about the American political system and the goals of the DNC, establishment democrats and their megadonors

      Ive engaged with plenty of folks in this thread, but I don’t appreciate the attitude youre bringing to me out of nowhere, so I won’t be engaging in conversation further than this with you.

        How dare you address me in a curt tone after I acted in deliberate bad faith and held water for nazis. I am above speaking to you and so I leave with my head high.

        You’re engaging in a comment thread I began lmao, and my attitude in asking you a very simple question in why didn’t he wait to perform this gesture when it would actually have an effect is enough to stop you engaging? really?

        That’s the spirit that’ll beat trump, hopefully you’re rich and white enough that your complacency won’t affect you personally 🙄
