In reply to the discussion: US Sen. Cory Booker Refuses to Endorse Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor [View all]yardwork
(68,940 posts)There is a definite implication in this thread that Booker is a traitor to the Democratic Party. He's also been called "cowardly," beholden to AIPAC and shadowy "Jewish power brokers," and a lot of other names here.
All because he deftly avoided being pulled into a trap. There's no need or precedent for a U.S. senator to endorse candidates for mayor.
Mamdani is way ahead and most Democrats like him. He doesn't need and afaik has not requested endorsements from out of state politicians.
It's been explained to you that NJ is facing a crucial set of elections. They need Booker at home, without distractions. WE need Booker in the senate.
The whining and purity testing on behalf of a candidate who is way ahead is a sight to see. Y'all need to calm down and learn how to win.
I sure hope Mamdani is better at politics than many of his supporters appear to be.
