Meanwhile bratty children calling for smart and principled Democrats are apparently dooming the party. Why won't they listen to the adults in the room and support Cory Booker? Does it really matter that he's in bed with Betsy DeVos' AFC organization?
Yes, petulant children are a significant demographic that is ruining the democratic party, the only political entity capable of defeating republicans.
I don't disagree with you there. The Democratic party is the only vehicle to unseating Trump. The problem right now is the driver's seat is occupied by people who drove like assholes for the past several decades, couldn't stay in the correct lane, let governorships and legislative seats go flying out the windows without any course correction, until the 2016 election when they drove the Democratic Party into a goddamn ditch. I want these people out of the driver's seat. That's a childish notion to you?
Here's the thing. When establishment darling and 2020 presidential hopeful Cory Booker (with 12 other Democrats) betrayed his purported principles and voted against cheaper prescription drugs, yeah there's the "childish" response that people are going to die because of that decision, but there's also a pragmatic reason it was stupid. He's now made himself vulnerable to the same attacks that Trump used successfully against Hillary in 2016! First impressions are everything and every debate he started out landing solid body blows against her by pointing out her support of NAFTA and the TPP before his ADHD kicked in and he melted down. Booker is now open to that same successful tactic.
And if anything Booker has less charisma than Hillary with his nonstop fake orgasmic energy while cupping his invisible tits. Just look at this video of him praising Jeff Sessions:
Yes, that Jeff Sessions. The one he got all kinds of brownie points for calling a meanyhead to no actual effect a couple days ago. And as I linked previously, he's also in bed with Betsy DeVos' group.
For fuck's sake why are you angry that people are working to get this loser off the ticket? If he gets the 2020 nomination he will lose to Trump!
