58. nobody should assume corruption, or evil, and where I see that I say so, though we hardly ever

see that here at DU. I've seen one that I sat on jury service for, bashing Booker, and that got promptly removed.

But it is a ridiculous argument to suggest that financial
connections should not be on the table for criticism. We can't ignore that elephant in the room. It does factor on one side of the equation or another. If it isn't affecting the policy decisions of our politicians, which, damn that would be hard to entirely swallow, it is alternatively affecting which horses the big money backs and propels to the top of the ticket. Either way, there's something the big money likes about a candidate, or really dislikes about that candidates potential rivals.

"A bunch" is an apt way to put that. I'd hardly put the loss at their feet.

Yes, Jimmy Dore can be problematic, (and edit to add that I rarely listen to him because of that venom). If you don't think the likes of Joy Reid's crusade against Bernie supporters is problematic, well then there's the double-standard.
