Again you are welcome to argue on their behalf, make excuses for and try to move others off the scent, but corporatists take corporate money and do the bidding of corporations.

This is precisely why good public servants don't take corporate money - because they work for us without the impediment of being beholden to corporate donors - the platform on which Alexandria Ocuna-Cortez won and won big - the platform which many of us care very much about.

Goodnight. The last word is yours.
