Someone suggested I do my own web show about how much I love Wall Street.

[Eliot Rosewater]

My web show btw, is going to be called:

"What Once Was but Is No More"

or

"The America Purity Destroyed"

What makes me laugh about these people is probably not ONE of them is as far to the left as I am. What I would nationalize that they probably wouldn't.

But, alas, I live in the REAL world where corporations and Wall Street are necessary constructs, for now. And yes they do more harm than good, like guns.. So now I have managed to piss off just about everybody around here

My position is simple, talk to me about fixing the out of control and twisted corporate model we live under AFTER we get rid of the Nazi's.

And no I dont think every person who works on Wall Street or for a Fortune 500 corp is bad or doing harm, per se.

So my position is FAR to the left of most of these people who INSIST we apply a test to politicians about corporate money, and yet somehow I am the money lover, the Wall Street lover. Nope, I am the guy who says we have two, count them, TWO parties.

One is filled with Nazi loving, white nationalist, supremacist asshole racist traitors, one is not.

1. What did you do, suggest a bank teller be allowed to donate to a candidate?

Or something equally radical?

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. I probably said Kamala Harris isnt the devil, dont recall exactly.

Madness is where we are at.

You would think there would not be a living breathing soul left ALIVE after what happened last year making a purity argument.

3. Is that like a podcast? Will it be by subscription? n/t

4. It's bizarre to me that they can't relate to having a "major employer" in their area....

To me it's just as stupid as the GOP complaining about Hollywood money. They're always rallying on about the 99% of us, but won't include most garden variety NY/NJ areas people in it if they work for an actual corporation.

Same assholes claimed they were with us at 9/11 but will never fly again because they're mad they have to take off their shoes. There was always a weird resentment toward big city folks from those in smaller and quieter states. They seem to appreciate our hugeness and diversity only on paper, but in real
life, not so much.

5. I just want to replace the Nazis with anti-Nazis.

If that is a purity test, oh well. Nazi sympathizers doesn't work for me. We don't need Quislings.

6. That would suggest DUers follow TYT advice

TYT are dangerous for this very reason: they create divisiveness.

[dogman]

9. There is a difference between leading and dividing.

I accept them as leading, we all have the choice to follow or not.

7. Funny how they have this purity test

But when people decry support of pols who are antiabortion, we're told that shouldn't be a purity test.

12. And vice versa.

13. I tend to think women's health and rights

are far more important than a completely unrealistic "Democrats must never take money from people we don't like" test.

8. "Someone suggested I do my own web show about how much I love Wall Street."

Someone is a dolt.

I love your posts. You let it all hang out. There is no "reading between the lines".

[murielm99]

10. I am not sure many of them

know the difference between left and right. The far left and right have come together to use the same talking points. They have the same goal: destroy Democrats and destroy democracy.

I know what you mean. I have always been considered far to the left. But I don't even want to shake hands with some of these newer more vocal types on the left.

11. You write great stuff, love to read your posts.

I have dealt with many fake progressives (yes there are fake progressives as well as real progressives-it like everything else).

Anti-corporate is just a label. The fact is. there are responsible corporations and irresponsible. The makers of Skittles spoke out against a Trump family member who demonized immigrants.

The financial industry is one of New York's major industries. Many thousand of workers incomes are dependent upon "Wall Street."

Many fake progressives I know have no problem telling others they should sacrifice their jobs or "they are part of the problem" but they do so while carrying their iPhones or wearing an Apple Watch -and they see no contradiction.

The image of Susan Sarandon standing menacingly over Delores Huerta and berating her for supporting H Clinton and screaming about Monsanto is pertinent. (Hey Susan , it's Delores Huerta, could you show a little respect even if you don't want to take the opportunity to learn something from her)?

Senators represent the people of their state-and that includes the people who work in the major industries of the state. It is true in Vermont, in Maine, or in any of the agricultural states. Progressive senators in big agricultural states vote for massive waste and inequality when they vote for the giveaways in the Agricultural Bill.
