Born To Slay 10,996 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 https://www.politico.com/story/2018/03/09/elizabeth-warrens-moderate-democrats-feud-452987 Elizabeth Warren's stiff resistance to a bipartisan banking deregulation bill is not a surprise to her colleagues. But her tactics are. She punched directly on Friday at her fellow Democratic senators who backed a bill easing up on regulations passed after the 2008 financial crisis — slamming it as a Wall Street giveaway. The attack escalated a feud among the caucus’ moderate and liberal members that’s simmered all week long and underscores the ideological rift within the party as it tries to claw its way back to power. Warren sent a fundraising email on Tuesday chastising the 16 Democratic senators who voted to move ahead on the bill for siding with the GOP and "with the big banks." During senior staff meetings on Friday, according to two sources, the back-and-forth got so heated that Warren's camp offered to pass on the small amount of money raised from the Tuesday email to benefit one or more of her moderate Democratic targets. Warren also told the Congressional Progressive Caucus at their Friday retreat in Baltimore that watching "a handful of" other Democrats support loosening financial regulations "felt like a stab in the heart — not for me, but for all the homeowners who were cheated and the taxpayers who bailed out those banks." "It’s so hard to fight against all the money and all the lobbying, so hard when we fight and lose," Warren told fellow liberals. "But, yeah, it’s worse when some of our teammates don’t even show up for the fight." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJHolland 12,725 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 GOOD It’s a god awful bill. Deregulating the biggest banks that caused the worst financial crisis in generations. Even dem senator that supporting it is in the top 15 recipients in all of Congress of money from the finance industry. Hmm, I wonder why they support it. 36 minutes ago, Jed said: Sounds like pre 2020 propaganda to me. Wow Elizabeth isn’t afraid to tell the other dems no she should be president.

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Read this title and prayed it wasn't bad. She's right. Of the few issues Democrats are occassionally hypocritical about in terms of corruption and spending compared to their Republican counterparts, their banking and wall street ties are probably the most egregious and they should be held accountable. 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
