(15,536 posts)Everybody's so quick to jump on the hate Bernie bus.. I'm trying to pick my words carefully here but I believe that people can be so entrenched in the label that they don't see the need for action. Democrat, independent, Republican. I personally don't give a shit what letter is after somebody's name, as long as they respect human rights and work with the people and do their God damn job. Chuck Schumer and the 10 Democrats that voted on that CR should be held accountable, and I do believe that we should look at all corporate interests across the board and how it can influence the votes of our Representatives. Democrats aren't all just squeaky clean because they have a D after their name...
I'm not going to give examples because I don't have any, because I personally have not gone and researched.
But I will say that the idea of making all of them, regardless of party, where patches on their suits like NASCAR drivers to show who their sponsors are is not a bad idea
