    I’m not condoning corruption. I’m just saying that the Right has NO bar. So don’t pretend that anything you do to punish corrupt behavior will affect them at all.

    They not only gave us Trump twice, they’re trying to eliminate our voting rights entirely and hand over the country to him and his cronies in perpetuity, pun not planned but noted.

    So given that we have finite energy, that’s where we need to be focusing it right now.

    For instance, I have a primary vote to cast for Governor of California. Obviously I want the most progressive candidate, the most trustworthy candidate, the candidate with sufficient voter support to knock one of the Republicans off the November ballot. Which one is all 3 of those things?

      No one on “our” side complained about Pelosi and Insider trading, until they did. I’m done with “not quite as corrupt”/“not the other guy.” If all you think you deserve is “not as bad,” perhaps reflect on why you don’t think you – and your fellow citizens – deserve “not intentionally doing wrong at the expense of my voters.”
