To Republicans, that just means he's smart!
How unamerican
Funny that this info only comes out immediately after Schiff successfully crushed people that would actually represent us in the primaries.
I'm so sick of corporate dem malfeasance. Absolute demons.
You're asking candidates to compete for a job. Why are you surprised when they take actions consistent with their best interests. I don't think Schiff did anything inappropriate. Schiff mentioned Garvey to raise his profile because he's easier to defeat.
This isn't like Nixon contacting South Vietnam while he was a presidential candidate and telling them to not make peace because he wanted the war as an issue. That directly led to the deaths of thousands of Americans.
Assuming you preferred Katie Porter, what did you do to ensure she'd be the candidate?
Why are you surprised when they take actions consistent with their best interests.
Because they're running for a job where they should have the public interests first.
Just because America is a shitty corporate hellhole doesn't mean we can't be disappointed when politicians fail to live up to a reasonable standard.
Because they're running for a job where they should have the public interests first.
Yes, in the job they should have the public interest first. But he's competing to get the job, he can't work in the public interest unless he's elected.

I'm not sure what your standard even is? How can a candidate act in the public interest? They put forward their platform and the people decide. That's what happened. Should he not run because you don't think his policies are best for the public? Isn't that what voting is for?
Shouldn't even really call it a job, it's not, it's public service. To serve the betterment of the people.
Should have stuck to being a baseball icon and announcer, he's not good for anything else.
Add it to the list of reasons he sucks.
Someone needs to be at every one of his campaign events shouting, "Pay your back-taxes! Why haven't you payed your taxes?" at full volume.
Edit: When someone like this is on stage supporting your campaign, you know you're evil as fuck.
Edit2: I landed on his site trying to find out if he'd have any events that I can drive to and take my own advice. I found no info. I live in the Bay Area. If you find out he's doing an event that I could drive to in an hour or less, please let me know.
Why can't he pay? Too much avocado toast?
