Why is Corey Booker so popular? He was the mayor of Newark right which is regarded as a shithole that hasn't improved under his rule correct?

so, something i've been running into a lot with hillary supporters recently is reagan support. i know hillary praised nancy reagan, but are the centrists actually in love with reagan, and if so, how do they consider themselves democrats at all?

Reagan is the neoliberal standard bearer, really. It's why Clinton and Obama both praised him as well.

The past is mutable and American politics is sport. Did my team win? That is an important consideration for those privileged enough by those who do not feel the immediate aftershocks of government doctrine. If the effects are not immediate, direct, and personal, media seeks to keep such people in a cloud where sport by politic is reasonable and attainable.

Yep, he was the first neoliberal president and probably did more for the cause than even Bill Clinton (although Bill made up for it by having sex with a child).

but if they're truly devoted to the causes of PoC like they claim, having a hero like reagan is extremely problematic. reagan left the dem party, but he framed it as "i didn't leave the democrats, the democrats left me..." well, the major thing that changed between reagan supporting the dems and reagan becoming a republican was the civil rights movement.

how can they think they're actually allies to PoC and at the same time hold as a hero a man who left the democrats because they weren't racist enough for him anymore?

Make the past what u want it to be. All reality is manipulated. Who's knows if Reagan wasn't the perfect Kawaii hunk of your dreams?

Reagan made up the welfare queen story and repeated it despite the press telling him it was bogus; Clinton then referenced it when killing welfare.

The cynical ones know that they're not going to get anyone with good policies anyway.
The earnest ones agree with the policy.

But either way, when you know the policy isn't going to change, then you fixate on decorum because it's all you've got.

Even Obama had his "Reagan was good actually" moments but Clinton already went off the deep end with this poo poo with her trying to appeal primarily to never Trump cons and using Reagan's butchers as surrogates. Honestly if you're trying to rehabilitate GWB or riding on the coattails of Clinton, it makes sense that you'd try to rehabilitate Ronald Reagan and tell Carter to get hosed (even though Carter could be said to have been a prelude to Reaganism).

falsch, it's more that she knows Putin is more of less in charge of her political future; if he decided to turn the gas off her government is out on its arse.

the moderate republicans that hillary was trying to appeal to are the people who responded to trump's victory by asserting that reality has gone off the rails and nothing matters, as if anything outside 1990s neoliberalism forever is a lovecraftian horror their mortal minds can't comprehend

identity politics isn't consistent, plus their concern about PoC is more virtue signaling then genuine.
