In reply to the discussion: Booker: Democratic Party 'has failed this moment' [View all]JHB
(38,208 posts)41. That's literal for me because I'm in his state.
I mean, better him than any Republican, but he can count on a primary challenger getting my support.
Fergawdssake, Cory, the "Tip and Ronnie" days ended while you were still in your 20s. And stop equating Left and Right. The only people on the Left who are as radical as the Right are true fringers with no resources, no support infrastructure, and who can't organize their way out of a wet paper bag.

I think "purity test" is a slur aimed at principled protection of marginalized peoples.

You're right, because there are other "putity tests" that are very real although they don't get that label

The one issue that (ALMOST) everyone ignores. The insane concentration of wealth.

Democrats "fail" when they get sucked into the divisive purity test bullshit and don't vote "D" in the general election.

Despite Fetterman's "crime," do you you think Senator Oz would be any better? It's a simple question.

We tried that, Corey. His name was Barack Obama. All it proved was that there's no "left-right divide"...

Yup, failed the purity test by saying purity tests are bad. Purity tests turn allies into enemies

What a great idea, Cory. Trash the Democrats rather than the Republicans. Please . . . don't run in 2028.
