45. what's embarrassing is word salad passive aggressive rhetoric

in order to play gotcha. What's embarrassing is anyone pretending that the OP was a serious question. It bears no resemblance to one.

I explained: Both Sanders and Warren have long consistent histories of advocacy for these issues. Bernie has introduced legislation to break up the "too big to fail" banks several times over the years. He's been very vocal about what he sees as bad trade agreements- for decades. Warren has made the centerpiece of her career, for over 25 years, economic injustice in such areas as banking. Are they politicians? Sure? Do they do things, "stunts" if you will, to try and draw attention to their issues? They'd be poor politicians if they didn't. But at least their stunts are wholly consistent with the advocacy they've been practicing for years.

As someone else pointed out, President Obama went to Nike, one of the worst offenders in the world when it comes to off shoring and exploiting labor, to push for his agenda. That's a "stunt" too, of course- but it's a stunt that contradicts statements and positions he's held in the past. And that is a difference right there.
