    I don't understand this strat Warren et al. are engaging with such vigor. She is vilifying Wall Street, wealthy people, private equity and big tech, threatening breakups. It's unusual for GS to make statements like this.

    Old expression, everybody votes their wallets. You can't attack people's wallets so directly and expect victory. Maybe they believe there are enough of these to counterbalance.

    Increase the size of the slice of cake for the middle class and break up damaging monopolies.

    An obvious and necessary solutions but not my point. She is aligning massive firepower against her before the election. Wouldn't the smarter strat be to tread more lightly, not putting all her cards on the table till she's in office and then lean on the solutions? I don't think she understands the increased risk in her present strat. Too much time in her echo chamber possibly.
     
  4. Whatever you may think of her, you believe she should be less forthcoming? Is that the quality now being sought?

    It is called being honest and straightforward. If GS don't like it, that is an endorsement. Remember the movie Crazy People?

    I don't think anything about her, she's just a player in a game.Treading more softly, before the election would be the smarter move. I'm not you freddy, I don't have hate boiling out of my ears re: anything I don't agree with. I view everything as a game that can be won or lost.
     
  7. I agree with candor. You?

    Banjo, many people have principles and a moral compass that does not get deflected by every shiny bit of propaganda. People saying no, that is just wrong as it breaks the golden rule of do unto others etc.., is not boiling hate.

    If you’re going to stand in the pulpit and preach about inequality it helps to live a lifestyle that reflects your message. Both Warren and Sanders are hypocrites. Banjo hits the nail closer on the head, they are charlatan’s in a political game seeking power. Here they’re trying to buy votes using other people’s tax dollars, while beating the drum of hate and envy.
