It has gotten really really bad and corrupt. Very upsetting and prevents good people from running who have actual ideas in fear they will become telemarketers. I heard a member of congress sold Taylor Swift tickets as a fundraiser

I will look into him. I highly suggest you read Elizabeth Warren's new book "This Fight Is Our Fight". It convinced me to support her in 2020 if she runs, I also really like Franken and I think Tulsi Gabbard also has potential because she is young, a veteran, progressive, and some Republicans like her shockingly

She's more in line with Republicans than one would like. https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/05/tulsi-gabbard-president-sanders-democratic-party

I've been considering giving Warrens book a read, is the book heavy on policy?

I have read that. But she actually is not anti gay or anti abortion anymore. She said she was conservative before because her father was. She is much more progressive and liberal and a lot of people like her

Yes, but she gives real life stories of real people which really give the book a more personal touch. It is extremely well written. I read the whole thing in 4 days and I am not a big reader but this book was just so good and informative. It is 270 pages, not too long or textbook like. You should read it, I have been giving it to my family to read because I really think it is that good of a book and will get people to become more progressive

I'm aware of her popularity - and don't get me wrong I'm glad she's better than most -but I still personally remain critical of progressive politicians. As long as money + to party system is involved (esp. exemplified by this race), I'll scrutinize all of them.

It sounds good, I'll pick up a copy from Barnes And Nobles.

I agree but Tulsi actually stopped taking money from PACs and lobbysits

I like her. She'd be a good choice to run against Trump.
