    Many of my most progressive friends still have not quite accepted Cory Booker - claiming to be irked by a few votes. They then don’t apply that same standard to other people they love, almost without scrutiny. I’m a fan. Spoke with the man. One of the most genuine souls.

        Challenge him on that. I did. He evolved. And explained votes that had much more nuance.

        We’ve been down this road before of Dems telling me what I want to hear and doing nothing of substance. If he puts his policy/votes/campaign funding where his mouth is Ill reconsider. Until then, he stands on what he’s done, and it’s not all that progressive.

        Being from NJ I don’t agree with those pharmaceutical votes he cast but also realize how big of an industry it is in our state and his responsibility to keep those jobs here.

        I guess I just think Obama was passionate and sounded genuine but his policies didn't match. Do we really want another fake progressive?

        I'd be interested in some examples of these politicians who don't receive the same scrutiny. I don't agree with it, but jeez, even Elizabeth Warren gets attacked by progressives.

        He gets attacked, every single day still, by progressives for "selling out" to Clinton. Then he gets attacked by "democrats" for his radical positions like Universal Healthcare. Try again.

        Possibly reread the tweet to better understand the criteria set forth. Or don't. I don't really care. ✌🏾

        CORRECTION: Cory Booker has not quite accepted actual progressive ideas.
