    If you think this is cowardice then you must not yet have developed object permanence.

    This is the main role of the democratic party, keep the left down and keep the capitalist happy. They will cynically adopt any issue - that doesn’t threaten that prime directive - for a few months, be it black lives matter or trans rights, and then drop them again once it’s no longer convenient.

    But if any real leftist candidate (with huge democratic support and winning based on broadly popular policies), ever comes close to power, all defense mechanisms kick in.

      Map of New York City .

      New Jersey

      New Jersey and New York City are intimately connected both in terms of land and economy. One of NYC’s biggest landmarks, the Statue of Liberty, is literally on the border with New Jersey. Plus Cory Booker is a Democrat with a high profile nationally and he is going to try for the presidency again so some people are interested in his opinion.
