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.
Then looks directly in the mirror unironocally
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
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.
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.
So on one hand people here hate the Democrat leadership (with good reason). But now when this guy is speaking out against the Democrat leadership, you criticize them for internal division?
He's part of that leadership. He's part of the problem. We want real change for working people, he just wants to change who's getting the corporate bribes.
what opposition
The call is coming from inside the house
He is objectively one of the people who has failed this moment.
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.
this left-right divide is killing our country
So you want the nazi-simp vote. Got it.
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.
He’s the 2nd most pathetic out of all the Dems besides Schumer. This dude only cares for appearing to do anything, but never actually does anything because he’s a bought centrist.
Damn, that was a good catch. I had misremembered it as well.
....Does he realize he's talking about himself?
Definitely not.
Me may still think his pointless filibuster will earn him leadership
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.
Yeah that was all practice for his upcoming imminent presidential bid.
Don't worry he'll do the same thing to the people that came before him too.
Cory Booker is a twat.
Cory Booker is Rand Paul with a D next to his name
Let me guess: he's the solution.
Schumer's preference for centrist candidates
That is code for zionist first candidates. His extreme loyalty to Israel is disqualifying.
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 right, Cory. So drop out of your fucking primary and endorse a real 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
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.
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:
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.”
Oh you mean Senator Andy Kim who voted to confirm Kristi Noem, Marco Rubio and Sean Duffy? That Andy Kim?
Absolutely true.
But Booker ain't that leader.
Starting with himself, right? Pompous asshole.
“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.
This is peak, “we need to move forward and not dwell on the past” chud rhetoric. What America needs is accountability and hostility to the right.
