(62,270 posts)You diverted to some silly metaphor about Hitler. If you think it was classy to say "blow me" to someone asking for legislation, I think that's fine, but I would have to disagree.
I edited my post, btw, getting a vote on legislation to break up the banks is not terribly difficult. Sanders is on the banking committee. Making Warren's own argument that the banks are undervalued due to how big they are is the perfect way Sanders can get the one vote he needs.
But since Warren won't even co-sponser significant liberal legislation out there (such as the Climate Protection Act, or the Follow the Money Act, or the Ending Secret Laws Act), it's unsurprising she's failed to do a damn thing so far with regards to breaking up the banks.
BTW, her reticence on the Follow the Money Act makes me laugh every time someone calls for her to support legislation that will get big money out of politics. And yes, I've called her office, I have never gotten a reason why she won't support it (or the others I mentioned).
