though. Of course we understand the angry ignorance she's trying to rally. And it would not be a good use of her time to actually try to change the minds of those passionately sure "Washington" is corrupt.

But rallying them by cynically reinforcing the false equivalency that the big problem is WASHINGTON corruption, not massive Republican corruption, is terribly wrong, to the point of being immoral.

That insidious lie, heavily promoted for decades by the RW to convince voters they have no good choice, undermines belief in our democratic systems. It also undermines Democratic efforts to rally the many millions who, confused and demoralized by these lies, just tune out.

All our politicians need to convince the voters that our nation has one good party of, by and for the people that they can believe in and should support.

No exceptions for her just because she needs to snag Sanders' populists.

and she has a plan to make this jerk accountable along with lackey's from days past to hold them accountable, because this coming tax season, we are going to hear the GOP say that fucking word "Entitlements" are bankrupting this country..................."MY" putting "MY" money from "MY" tax being withheld into a "TRUST ACCOUNT" for my retirement is not bankrupting this country .................................Corporations and assholes like Donald Trump, (that stiffed New York out of 400 million in state tax alone, means that other tax payers in that state had to pay for that shortfall) and some corporations like Wells Fargo , JPMorgan Chase, and Amazon for example, didn't pay one dime into the tax system...................and my favorite moment is when I saw this....................................., a former student ( now a Congresswoman, Katie Porter, CA ) under former Professor Elizabeth Warren ( Senator Elizabeth Warren, MA ) explain to Chase what this is all about the corruption.......................and how this Chase jerk, is just like trump and has stiffed it's employees.................and this country......................

7. Bernie and Tulsi Both Get Attention By Attacking Democratic Allies
Sun Oct 20, 2019, 01:05 PM

This is their schtick similar to Dennis Kucinich. That is the price of admission. If you are happy to attack Democrats as the "establishment" even though Republicans hold the Presidency, the Supreme Court and the Senate, you get air time. Bernie has happily accepted appearances on Fox, and this year you have Tulsi making appearances on Fox.

The problem this creates is that it helps push the false equivalency narrative that both sides do it. Trump was able to run with this narrative to the Presidency by repeating Bernie's talking points that legitimized the idea it was the Democrats who were corrupt, thus you need an "outsider."

The current REPUBLICAN PARTY is the MOST thoroughly corrupt political party in the history of our nation.....Period

They have shown countless times that they have absolutely NO respect for the U.S. Constitution, nor the Rule of Law.

The ONLY reason Trump exists is because of the group of Republicans in the U.S. Senate, and the group of Republicans in the U.S. House before 2018..........
