      That’s not fair. You didn’t know her name until 5 mins ago, and neither did anyone else outside political spheres. She’s a placeholder candidate until a general election that already has some big hitters in the race. Her resume suggests she’s as locked in socially as any progressive could want. Her work with unions is unimpeachable and there’s no reason to believe she was the bad guy at Uber and Airbnb.

      She should be offered the opportunity to speak to her role in those companies, and she should take it and give the people she now represents a fuller understanding of her work there, because its fair to want to know what it was.

      Its fair to criticize if she doesn’t. Its fair to criticize if she mealy mouths it.

      But its not fair to call her a corporate whore.

        As someone who used to work for a widely-hated tech company, I know I’d appreciate people hearing my side of the story

          Hell, I work at one the evilest Healthcare companies in America and I’d hope most people would give me the benefit of the doubt.

            I worked in advertising, and if I was ever masochistic enough to get into politics, I’d let everyone know what I learned there, and how we need to burn it down.

        You know what’s not fair? When she worked for PG&E and took legalized bribes from a company found guilty of multiple counts of manslaughter and then worked with another corporate whore (Gavin Newsom) to let PG&E off the hook for murder.

        Tell the victims of the PG&E fires what’s not fair.

        Butler is a corporate whore.

            Keep rambling I’m sure there’s something to respond to somewhere idk

            Butler is a corporate whore. Quite literally. If you find it offensive then take it up with her record.

              Is responding to someone like that really the most productive way to communicate or have a conversation?
