@spiegelmama@infosec.exchange @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io methinks the problem is the ridiculously enormous political consulting apparatus that serves democrats. seems like most progressives that get elected try to tack more towards the moderate side of the party once they’ve won election and want to get reelected.
I understand many sell out (Sinema) but I can’t imagine the paydays are quite so lucrative outside of Congress, so why abandon your base that put you there in the first place? Does no one have principles they live by anymore?
I can’t remember the quote, so I’m gonna butcher my paraphrase of it, but, “I’d rather have enemies than none. It means I’ve lived a principled life.”
