....this shit again.

Dems=failure.

That's essentially his message. That's what will be conveyed.

It's goddamn bullshit.

The 'generational' crap is belied by the way seasoned Democrats have repeatedly and consistently produced for the people in the majority. THAT should be the message, but instead we have this navelgazing crap that supposes we've done nothing at all. Where the fuck was he when we were passing historic legislation in the Biden term with Chuck Schumer as majority leader?

Why kick the party when we're down? NOT ONE ELECTED DEMOCRAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LAST ELECTION LOSSES.

Those elected Dems he's pushing off of here have actually fought and WON against republicans. Posturing as if there's something wrong with them because some younger candidate didn't do the same is just sophistry; a specious and self-defeating argument, especially making it at the behest of one of the worst media demagogues in the business.

Just BRILLIANT politics displayed here by Booker basically taking a cue from Welker to trash Dems, I tell ya.

We EXCEL in the majority, USHERING IN HISTORIC PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATIVE CHANGE and are limited in the minority to making statements LIKE THIS.

You'd think people would be self aware and recognize that this is nothing but anti-Democratic messaging; screeds that are exploited by trolls on social media everyday.

But here we are with another person posturing as if he's better than everyone else in the party that's fighting the same battles and wants the very same things he does, as badly as he does, and acting as if anti-Democratic party messaging is some sort of political genius or some sort of political rallying call for voters.

It's just not. It reads and sounds like someone who hasn't yet achieved what he's exhorting everyone else to do, and is acting as if he's above it all. It's just a turn-off.

It's even more ridiculous supposing he's primed to say something that hasn't already been said; or is poised to put on some political performance that's going to change a vote among the people he works with.

Just grandstanding and pushing off on his own party as if he had actually done something to coalesce and organize the coalition of elected Democrats that we have now and is ready to present a workable coalition to advance legislation (which is what he's basically complaining about, or should be); or that his words represent something other than his own projections.

That performative spiel should be reserved for the actual republican opposition. And anyone taking comfort in this should check and see just how many voters have been encouraged by this TO SUPPORT THE PARTY AT ELECTION TIME.

Because that's virtually ALL he's done here is project counterproductive nonsense about Democrats, and helped normalize the bullshit notion presented here by Welker about 'purity tests,' whatever that means to that inveterate cipher for her news org's bullshit takes-of-the-day against Democrats.
