Booker also criticized the Democratic and Republican parties for not doing more to oppose Trump. "Do better than me. Do better than we in this body. We are flawed and failed people," he said wryly, adding, "My voice is inadequate. My efforts today are inadequate to stop what they are trying to do." Two days later, I have proven correct.
Booker voted against two resolutions that would have curtailed US arms sales to Israel, just as Israeli forces once again escalated their genocidal campaign in Israel. In doing so, he aligned himself with one of Trump's most extreme and violent foreign policy positions and exposed the slowdown of democratic resistance.
This contradiction lies at the heart of the Democrats' paralysis.
My take? Both parties drop the TDS - stop making each other out to be total Boogeyman - and get stuff done.
Both parties agree on about 40% of things. We CAN work together and give the American people relief! Mental illness by politics! Not good!
