    who was willing to use the checks at her disposal against blatant corruption

    Except for the insider trading that she participated in so lucratively. And the one fight that she always prioritized has been to keep the progressives down.

      Yeah, I totally agree with you. Like I said, I have issues with her and I don’t want her back. But she’s also the only example of a leading Democrat in recent memory who’s exercised power to stand up to Trump in any meaningful way. She impeached him twice and withheld a SotU address until he relented in a government shutdown. My point is, why are the other Dems so fucking spineless at a time we need action the more than ever?
