Wild. Right after Cory Booker went viral for speaking on the "wretched truth about America," he just voted to keep arming a government that just officially achieved The Deadliest Conflict Ever for Journalists & executed and buried 15 paramedics and their emergency vehicles

I got two fundraising texts on the 1st and another today for him. I think the modal reasonable take was mild approval of anything at all - performative or not - being done, but if you thought for a moment this might be a face turn for him you got fooled

who the actual fuck cares about breaking a record held by a pro apartheid southerner when the record breaker is approving billions to an apartheid state’s continued genocide

Everyone who was posting “make sure to call your reps and tell them you approve! Call booker too and say thanks!” are now following up with their reps about Booker’s hypocrisy and that they shouldn’t vote for funding genocide right

There’s really no point in being kind about it. If you are over the age of 25 you’ve seen this script before. If you are over 40 you should have wisened up a long time ago. There is no resistance here - if you can’t oppose a genocide you can’t oppose fascism. Simple as.

You can say that’s nice while also not approving of everything, or even anything else the guy ever did. I don’t like everything I did today either and I ain’t even evil.

cory booker's speech was physically impressive, like the endurance is wild to me. but he immediately went back to regular democrat stuff, letting trump's freaks get approved, propping up a genocide, etc. peel away one veneer of a layer and it's clear there's no substance there
