(5,272 posts)the it the way it is too. It ties our hands, makes us unable to tear republicans a new one on issues of corporate financing because our hands aren't clean. and in the end, the corps use their media to destroy us anyway...except that we can never call the media out for its corporate bias because we are tied to that corporatism. We depend on those companies and that funding, and that undercuts us. Yet depending on it does not get us elected. It gets us 45 percent of the available seats, from which we can moan and groan about the horrors republicans are doing.
Yes, occasionally, our softballing team gets two years to entirely change the direction of our country, but even then they can't make it happen because we always have manchin's and Lieberman's that our establishment has propped up, ready to scuttle our ship.
By the way, you couldn't handle letting the comment go that put Sander's name in with Warren and Franken, now could you? You literally said in your last post that there are other Senators than Sanders, but you are still railing against him here, so don't pretend you aren't rolling around in the mud.
