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 think this sentiment is good and happy to see something like this out of the Democrats for fucking once in their lives.
That said, Booker is a huge embodiment of the Democratic Party he's criticizing here. While certainly better than a ton in the traditional centrist camp like Schumer and Pelosi, Booker still towed the line the past 10 years since the DNC has actually been screwing over genuine progressives like Sanders.
If this is a genuine recognition of a failed strategy then great, but I'm skeptical.
