minus-squarejimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down13·11 months agoLook at what she ran on and what she is doing now, she is moving more and more closer to the blue dogs. I am just trying to point out the reality of politicians. We have to stop seeing them as our saviors or people that can’t be corrupted, they are politicians. We need to force them to fight for the people, we can’t treat them as just another celebrity. Power is not given just because we like them and defend them, we need to keep pushing them so they stay in line to what they ran on.
