Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
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.
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
Dammit to hell.
