Its not close enough in the slightest. I'm holding her to the same degree I hold everyone else. Is it my fault they do things that make me suspicious of them? The only thing I did was read up a bit on them and I was always eh on Pressley. But that just leads to be diving in on how I felt that Justice Dems was somewhat co-opted by the establishment after Kyle left. He unfortunately still treats the organization the same, but I feel like they're falling into that ID pol hole and its a little frustrating. But anyway, if you were right that would just mean that the politician in question just happens to be corrupt because I'm not out here claiming things without receipts :)

I got the video part wrong (...so far...), but I got the spirit of your response right, so...I get 75 percent? I think I'm owed that much.

Anyway, the fact that you're more suspicious of where Ayanna Pressley's loyalties lie than you are of where Tulsi Gabbard's do says a lot to me.

Definitely not owed that much, I didn't say she's corrupt or a fraud. Not yet at least. At this time I can simply say she's not as left leaning and as long as she doesn't try to pretend that she is I wont have too much of a problem with her, also as long as she keeps her hands away from big money we good.

And its quite easy to see why I think that way. Tulsi endorsed Bernie, Presssley went for Hillary. Tulsi has really good FP, has great election integrity bills, is for whistle blowers, joined politics because she's a climate activist and has one of the best climate change bills in congress (the OFF act) and she has the balls to call out both parties for being corporate trash. She hasn't taken corporate pac / big money for a while now so honestly, she can get pass a good amount of my tests. My problem is her walking back support for M4A, and how she keeps giving in to right wing framing on some issues (open borders), but other than that. She's pretty good in my book. she's #2, and its not a close #2, but she's still there out of the 2020 candidates. She's the last one I'd be able to stomach voting for. Tulsi has a hell of a lot of smears going around at her, and unfortunately, some are sticking. Its sad to see, but it is what it is. The one thing I can say is that unlike Pressley and Warren, she sticks to her guns and is trustworthy.
