Political Bullshit Translation - "I am dropping out, but I am pretending to beg for more contributions to my Presidential campaign which will be transferred to my Senate reelection campaign."

Bye bye Spartacus.
 
Well atleast he didn't try and one up Beta, and call for the army to confiscate your guns instead.
 
I'd rather drop some change in the bucket of the guy playing drums on the corner tbh.
 
I don't think anybody donating to Booker would be upset if he fell short of the goal and put that into a senate campaign. That sounds like something that people who don't even like Booker would complain about, for no real reason.

Also, listen to long interviews with him, like on Pod Save. He's an impressive thinker, a Rhodes Scholar for good reason. Wish he had done better up to now.
 
Great...now he can go back to further fucking up my home state of NJ. <LikeReally5>

On what do you base this?
 
TS is gonna go vote for the bullshitter to end all bullshitters in 2020 in Trump but picks at Corey Booker's honesty as indicative of the man...who as politicians go is about as good spirited and innocuous as it gets.
 
Because people who support Booker for president would be likely to support Booker for senate.
Next question will be asking you to independently confirm this as true.

In the span of one post, you went from


"I don't think anybody donating to Booker would be upset if he fell short of the goal and put that into a senate campaign"


to

"people who support Booker for president would be likely to support Booker for senate"


Sneaky, Mr. Fa. Very sneaky.

Better the bullshitter we know....

...that keeps the economy strong...
...that doesn't want socialistic healthcare...
...that doesn't want to be involved in ground wars in the middle-east...
...that wants to build a wall...
...that supports the 2nd Amendment...

...than the bullshitter the only things we know is he'd say anything to advance in politics.

It would be less farcical if you were just be honest and say you like Trump instead of trying to distance yourself from him while at the same time criticizing his rivals for things he's a thousand times worse about.

I've been mulling this over for several months now. Figure now is as good a time as any to tell you. Fairly certain you're an overweight closeted lesbian. Feel free to convince me otherwise.
 
So is anyone else disturbed by how much our political landscape looks like begging these days? "Give me money so I can be president"
Corey Booker- estimated Net worth- 1.5 million.

GTFO
I think it's inevitable in a large system with major democratic elements. Most voters won't do their research, since there is no consequence on an individual level for getting the wrong answer (one vote never decides an election of that scale). If you imagine a system in which all voters 1) voted only on policy 2) had well-defined policy preferences 3) had all the time and other resources necessary to research all candidates 4) believed their vote would be decisive, there would be no need for big campaign spending. Because voters are in fact very ignorant, don't have consistent preferences, don't only vote on policy, and think voting is a "duty" even if they haven't done their research, the whole project devolves into a PR battle, which is expensive.
 
Or heres an idea: Politicians could just be honest about there intentions and beliefs and let the people decide without putting a PR team spin on every word and statement.
They wont. But they could.
Certainly wouldnt cost 1.7 million in 10 days to do an hour long podcast with Joe Rogan or whoever and get your message out there.

Annnnndddddd.... what's those 'thousand times worse about?'

Not regarding what he's said or tweeted, but his policies.

And I'll go ahead and point out the biggest policy mistake - Signing the giant budgets with huge deficits and adding trillions to the national debt, just like Obama.

Besides that, what else?
