Reply to comment by KrissaKray in Bomb threats, credit card fraud: state rep Stacie-Marie Laughton of Nashua by Final_Act6703

That is so cynical and immature. Try not making blanket statements about any group of people. Sure there are corrupt public servants but that is not their defining characteristic. Your simplistic view makes the world worse.

It’s called nuance. There are all types of people and all kinds of things motivate them. I believe most people are good and I assume that people come from a good place until their actions prove otherwise.

Stereotypes and prejudice against people based on one aspect of their identify is harmful to all even the person holding those beliefs.

I just go by what I see… and rarely see politicians, especially on the national stage, that care about anything other than their political capital and how far they can go. They speak out both sides of their mouths. I just wish they’d be REAL. Stand for SOMETHING other than what looks to be their own financial or political interests.

😢 No. When Bernie caved instead of fought in 2016, my Berner friends were devastated. The Bern in 2020 was a hateful man towards everyone else in the primary process. As if we owed him a fresh start from the top of his 2016 wave.

If any of that were true, it still does not make him a corrupt politician only motivated by greed. It makes him someone whose actions you don’t agree with.

It’s undeniable, except perhaps in the outermost echo chambers, that Bernie is a man who stands for something other than his own financial interests.
