(17,027 posts)"feeding at the trough," but it's clear that was a reference to one of Bernie's catch-all campaign slogans about purity and campaign finance. That is not holding anyone accountable. He certainly didn't worry about accountability when he put off answering the FEC about his questionable donor entries. Criticizing Democrats for operating in the system as we know it is just damaging and pointless. What makes more sense is to actually get elected, and then be in the position to effect changes.
Anyway, this thread was not about Bernie. There are other senators, and sometimes they get talked about and congratulated on great work. That shouldn't be seen as an opportunity to try and alert on posts. How would you have survived last year if you had to tolerate the irrational criticism that Hillary endured. Rachel did a great show on that last night about how Bernie supporters and sites were targeted by Russian bots to keep the divisiveness going with negative fake news stories about Hillary. You should watch that show. Highly recommended.
