Dude voted against importing drugs to lower costs of prescription drugs, voted to raise the military budget a couple times, and abstained from a vote on single payer healthcare. I’m cool
7 years ago he had a vote you don’t like. He has since changed that vote and now supports Medicare For All

Respectfully, that is not an entirely honest/complete article. This tells more of the big picture.https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/jan/18/other-98/viral-image-about-democratic-senators-and-big-phar/ …
...or could it be that the pharmaceutical companies reject the competition from inported drug because it would reduce their profits?pic.twitter.com/xhiIXaUXcd
Shaun, Democrats have been promising universal health care since Kennedy, and yet somehow it just never happens. Sen. Booker's drug vote was recent, and he also takes charter school money, and received more money from Wallstreet in 2014 than any other senator.
I understand he has changed his positions but our concern is his instinct. He has changed his positions on things like Med 4 as they have become more popular and sort of a liberal litmus test. His conversions seem political not earnest. #Booker
Yeah, if he has to be shamed into doing the right thing every time, we can do better.
His vote on the pharma bill was less than two years ago dude. Oh by the way he takes lots of money from pharma companies. Oh and he also jumped on M4A like yesterday cuz it’s popular. Anyone who isn’t a literal baby knows what this guy’s all about. Are you a child or cynical?
He hired on Garry McCarthy to institute COMPSTAT/Broken windows policing, and tried to privatize every public service in Newark. He ran his city exactly the same way Jeff Sessions would have.
I don't trust words said in running. Kamala said she supported Medicare-For-All and Green New Deal on national TV. Then walked stance back with a press release. They have track records for a reason. Politicians lie. Records don't. Trump campaigned on a wall he didn't deliver.
7 years? No, this is current, dude.
Seven years ago until this day I have a RX I don’t take because I can’t afford the copay and I have insurance. So yeah, some of us hold a grudge
Yea, it only took him all this time to realize that Americans need affordable medical treatment...
Booker only supports #Medicare4All now because you can’t win as a dem without it and the polls told him it was safe to. He listens to his donors, not the needs of the people.
What I believed 7 years ago aren't the same as today. I think that actually makes him better. He has the ability to rethink his old beliefs listen in other viewpoints and when proven incorrect change his stance. Unlike Trump who is stuck in a stagnant mindset unwilling to change
How convenient! Not sold... based on his inconsistency. He can prove his loyalty to citizens from the Senate. He’s yet another Blue Dog Dem in my book. I’LL PASS!
I have some major issues with Booker even though I agree with most of his policies. My main contention is we need a revolutionary in the economic/environmental climate. I’m looking for candidates that’ll pull working class across the aisle.
How far back are we allowed to go Shaun? I mean, what is the expiration date. Can you find out why he abstained on voting on the anti BDS bill? You all are close, and I have questions.
Are we allowed to go back to 1993 when Bernie voted against the Brady Bill multiple times? Or when he voted to allow guns on Amtrak? Which bad votes are allowed and which are grounds for lifetime ban from using the Progressive label?
And he would change his vote again with the right amount of money.
Be careful throwing that stone in a glass house. Y'alls favorite can be picked apart too
Not about picking anyone apart. You look for what you want in a candidate. I’ll look for what I want - someone who has walked their talk for decades; and policies consistent with my values and will make a better world for our children.
We dont need more "talk" we need ACTION. Your choice has NOTHING to show for or back up his "talk". No Legislation, No Laws changed. How the hell is that gonna make the world a better place? Be Smarter
Wth do you think I meant by “walk their talk”? I’m glad we at least agree on need for action.
