Nah it's all good, I use the Royal "you" all the time lol. I appreciate your clarification though

I see what you're saying even if I personally think that "we are doing the cops work for them" is a bit of a reach.

Yeah he's not in office, but I kinda feel like all politicians and candidates should be held to task every step of the way. If we don't, then what happens? People only hoot and holler with joy and support him no matter what until he's elected, and then recognizing that hes gotten nothing but support even as he backtracks publicly, wouldnt it make sense for him to think that the softening up strategy is how he should keep moving since there was no criticism of it before? I personally would be more vocal about him needing to earn my vote and stick to his principals instead of just forgoing my vote altogether if I did hear criticisms like these.

I have also seen the argument that if he sticks to his guns and doesn't backpedal publicly to the establishment that that would hurt his chances. But what do they even have to do with that? It's the people that are voting, why give so much power to wall street or whatever the fuck. If people were gonna be bought off they would have already, and I really doubt that his popularity has surged due to his rubbing elbows with Blackrock and complimenting the police.

Also I agree with you about this post in particular, that not every single little thing should be scrutinized so heavily but I think it's pretty difficult not to, especially with the whole Bernie Sanders thing back in the day, combined with just.... The history of politics in general
