I don't think you've kept up on her campaign then if you're still saying the bolded, iirc she's taken back that statement and has sworn big money off if nominated. That's a huge step. Her strategy is working with establishment Dems, I don't agree with that at all that's why I'm with Bernie and his "no middle ground," but at least she's upfront with it like Bernie is with his stance. Just a different route to get to the same goal. I think they compliment each other really well. The corruption money has on politics has been hammered in by BOTH of them. They both realize this is a big issue, maybe Warren is a little more soft on this issue, sure I'll grant you that considering she has taken big money before but it's not like it's falling on deaf ears with her. Money in politics is THE issue for progressives like myself so it's nice having two candidates actually talking about it, even though I do think Bernie will deliver better results as he hasn't taken any big money whatsoever. All in all Warren has perfected her policies throughout this race enough to justify being a progressive and think that's pretty commendable of her. She has faults and shortcomings sure, some of which I've brought attention to on this thread but at the end of the day she's fighting for the same goal. |
I have been following her campaign and that's why I know the big money thing is still a thing. She said she wont do big money fundraisers for her campaign but will do them for the DNC. The same dnc whose total amount raised will be reported with her campaign as one unit and will fund her campaign as well aka she's still taking big money.
Once again with what I said above, she has taken this money and has shown that she will take it again in the general. Bernie will stop the DNC from taking big money, she will not, she will raise it for them. You can't fight a system if you're taking its money. Why would I trust her again? Quick edit here: Big money is a litmus test and the ultimate litmus test in my view. To me, it doesn't matter what comes after, what you're saying etc because you've dipped into corruption. This is where public and private policies are created and its in human nature to payback those who help us. This money she took is all I needed to see. It doesn't matter who takes the money, if you take it I don't care about the rest of your record anymore, you're a traitor. On top of that I can dee dive on her record and her past and its not progressive but that's besides my point. Not supporting/pretending to support the policies I want is one thing, but taking money from the same people you constantly rail against while claiming you're fighting them is laughable.
And I disagree with the perfected policies thing. She's lying about M4A, her payment is a head tax that hurts small business and the middle class and will make it harder for wage increases to be passed, on top of that its exploitable. She doesn't go far enough on student debt, she doesn't tackle medical debt, her foreign policy is equivalent to that of a neoliberal and I could go on. I do not even slightly believe she will fight for what she says. Too much head faking, too much lying motions with the way she talks and moves, too much establishment types who know her saying she will pivot and above all else, if she was truly progressive the media would be treating her like Bernie or Tulsi, but they're propping her up. Red flags everywhere. All in all, she's still failing task #1 and for me, once you've failed it in this cycle you don't count anymore. She can't even say she'll give back the money cause she's already spent it.
Like I said, I judge everyone the same and there are only 2 candidates in this race that get pass my big money litmus test. That's Bernie and Tulsi. Actually i have to look into Williamson she might pass as well, but everyone else has failed, yang has failed recently but everyone else was failing from the get go. I do not trust someone like Warren especially since she is a known Liar and I do not see her actions as an ally to bernie. Its clear that she's trying to undercut him and I'm not here for it. The reason I seem to come off more hostile to Warren is because she's moving like a real fake friend and I see all her moves compared to everyone else because of who I follow on twitter etc. So when she does something good, I see it. When she does the incredibly dumb things she keeps on doing that proves she isn't trustworthy, I see it to.
