Van Hollen and Booker showing how representatives in government should be working for their constituents. I hope their aim is to be as annoying as possible until something good comes of it, but I worry Bukele will just arrest them and further erode the numbers we have in Congress.
Lets not conflate Van hollen and Booker.
Van Hollen actually does good with his position and I dont see skeletons in his closet.Booker is a centrist zionist bullshitter trying to ride van hollens coattails. Booker has done some good things, but when the chips are down and his vote is needed, he doesnt show up. A DNC democrat that needs to be removed along with the rest of the so called “liberals”. Lets make these people wear their voting history and not adore them for their purely performative BS or empty words.
Tired of empty cult of personality democrats.
Donald and his many goons has many skeletons in his cabinet. The only difference is, he’s showing it in real time.
This is a ballsy move on Booker’s part, and shit like this is exactly why nobody likes the left. Make better use of your time.
The left doesnt like centrists either. But neither of us can win without the other. So now what. The centrists would be in charge of the presidency right now if they could have held off sucking off AIPAC for 5 minutes but you lot couldnt even give a little bit on that, so theres not much room for negotiation is there. That election was very winnable but you lot always seem to hate the left more than you hate trump. So what does the left owe you besides the back of our hand?
Well Booker is doing a hell of a lot more than most other reps when it comes to this, no need to shit on the dude.
Like, I’d take him over the GOP candidate that ran against him.
so would I, but why is our yardstick always “is he better than a republican”. Thats exactly how we lose campaigns.
It’s not but party unity is also important and we won’t find perfection. Working within the confines of our real world is important but I agree that we need better representatives. Booker is just what our system gave us and he’s a lot better than many alternatives and worse than others.
Mostly I think having a unified message and party is important but hard when you’re dealing with people who actually care.
Most would agree he sounds better and seems to do better somewhat, but it is still hard to trust him.
Hard agree. Underrated comment.
If you hate liberals so much, why even vote for them? Just support a 3rd party or force all the liberals out and make them vote Republican.
Your comment makes no sense and jumps to conclusions. Maybe dont bother doing that.

He wouldn’t be going if he thought anything would be accomplished, he’s in it for the media attention so there’s no room for the progressives actually trying
What about the rest of them?
Why not all of them? Weren’t they all wrongfully deported?
Corey booker gonna be locked up there too
No he won’t.
Who’s been spiking Corey’s drinks? His testosterone is getting too high to measure!
I think I’m starting to love him.
How about the legislatures stay home and legislate and you can send a fucking staffer or emissary for the photo op. FFS.
Actually do their jobs? No no, we prefer the virtue signaling tyvm
If I were that man I would not want to return to the US. Send him somewhere safe.
His wife and child are American citizens. His life, job and friends are in the US.
It’s not easy for people to give up the people and places they love.
The Legislative and Judicial branches need their own armed forces in order to help provide a real counter to unconstitutional executive overreach.
He doesn’t have any tattoos, right?
The bottom line is that man will never be safe in this country again. This fascist regime has made sure of that. He will have a massive target on his back if he ever returns.
American fascism is here.
He’s definitely gonna run for president again and is trying to position himself as relevant. He’ll never win.
