Cory Booker waited until the first day of Black History Monthf to announce his candidacy for president. This isn’t even a real candidacy, yet. Booker is testing the market to see who will be the front-runner on the Kamala Harris - Corey Booker diversity ticket.
Use this thread to post all sorts of bad shit about Corey Booker.
Reminder: Cory Booker took over $400,000 from the pharmaceutical industry and then voted down a bill to allow Americans to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada.
It’s going to be Biden/Harris in 2020. It’s not what I want but I would put money on this being what happens. It checks off all the right boxes but won’t scare the neoliberals and boomers.
I don’t know that much about Dem politics these days, but from what I do know, I give Booker decent odds. Definitely better than Biden. Obama was a coffee-house communist, who pretended to be both a Christian and Muslim. The Democrats these days can hold three or more conflicting positions, they just don’t care any more. Their politics is a chaos of tortured, incoherent conceits.
I think I’ve revised my odds on Booker to be longer. He comes across often as an angry scold, a male Elizabeth Warren. The Dems won’t want another irritant like that. There’s plenty of aspirants who can say the same exact things and not be nearly as annoying.
