    Link to interview with Blumenthal? IIRC a lot of people lost their shit over the bait question meant to alienate her from the braindead american populace before she could gain any influence...

      "The US must end the economic siege and illegal coup of Venezuela" can be said in response to any "bait question" about Venezuela. Her line of Venezuela is politicking within the Democratic Party.

        Ok so that video was clearly him just seeing her as she was about to enter a meeting and he caught her at the door.

        If you're so pissed that nobody is taking those hard stances why don't you run for something?

          She keeps reaffirming her line on Venezuela.

          I'm not pissed. I think you are projecting.

          I'm just not going to be silent when a politician enables imperialism, just because they do things I support occasionally. I can make the same justification to be silent on Biden.

          I won't run for national office because it's only possible through the Democratic Party, and you will be forced to play their game or you will not last.

          I'm going to continue doing work in my city through local unions. When a viable national workers party emerges, I will try to connect the organizing work I do now to it.
