Hmmm, how does regulating crypto and advocating for things like a good environment, good health care, family care, human rights, and such tap into lobbyist bribes?

As politicians, they do succumb to their own share of shenanigans. But they seemed to tend to not enjoy shitting on quite as many people.

By stopping at "advocating" rather than doing the dirty political work to actually implement things like good health care. We are told what we want is impossible due to some rule or another only to watch the GOP ignore or work around the same rule in service of their cruel agenda.

I’d add that the success that they have had around implementing progressive policy gains falls within a “good intentions with poor execution”, but they strangely measure their political success by the intentions they had instead of the disastrous executions.
