She opened up a door. She's not pushing an agenda She's asking everyone, including her colleagues, to think. To care about people.
How do you do that when the fact that you were elected comes from donated by big oil, tobacco, etc. You can't.
That's why she resonates with so many people but not many politicians.
That's why Washington will never let her be elected.

Imagine if politicians would vote their conscience.

(5,122 posts)Once you begin to use morals and ethics to make decisions, you open a floodgate.
War, torture, spying, etc... are justified using fear and not morals and ethics.

(7,018 posts)someone or other brings up the subject -- it is bribery, you know. and bribery is a crime.
And that's about as far as things go.
Bribery and corruption have been practiced in Ol' USA almost right from the beginning of
our nation. And they're still here, and getting worse with time. When a certain point is
reached, they will also end our status as a superpower, as they have done to every other
superpower in the past. Thanks to our greedy psychopathic Corporate America, we are
on our way to becoming a Third World nation.
I think Tecelote has brought up a very good point why Elizabeth Warren can't be president
-- with our nation as corrupt as it is.
With psychopaths ruling the world, we are heading down the drain with our eyes wide open
(Psychopaths are denying this to themselves, of course).
