Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

I don't think that's better...

You don’t think it’s better that the country with most powerful military and bases all over the world doesn’t fall to fascism before Israel?

Even if you don’t live in America it seems pretty obvious that is, in fact, better

The point was that the USA is already fascist when it come to the Palestinians, and Booker is in full support of that, so now, i don't see how its "obviously better" that Corey Booker wants to do the Holocaust, but only on foreigners.

That seems like a matter of perspective

Yeah, the perspective of those who see foreigners as humans, and the perspectives of fascist white nationalists like you and Booker
