    I do like your explanation of branding, it would be awesome if politicians were branded like nascars
    at least the sheet metal has the dignity to advertise who owns it
    That goes back to that human nature thing I mentioned. If it benefited NASCAR to hide the name of its advertisers, they would. This is a more or less consistent trait. 

    Meanwhile, I'll take your non-response to my analysis as a sign that I was wrong about you; clearly you aren't some naive idealist, you're just a troll here to stir the pot.
    I replied but it didn't save or post, like you, I gave up. I can only imagine what the nation would be like if the entire citizenry held those views.

    Perhaps they'd take a more meaningful and realistic approach, and rather than relying on uncoordinated and inconsequential grassroots efforts such as posting incriminating links about every politician in existence, they'd attempt to unify and come up with logic-driven plans to bring about change. Do you have a plan? Or even a plan to create a plan? Or is criticizing each and every politician as far as you've taken it?

    Major differences between a dream realized and unrealized include planning, coordination and follow-through. What have you done to realize your dream of betterment of the world?

    the short answer without getting into specifics, is renaming post offices.

    So, today, we put effort into renaming post offices. We do this to create the tomorrow we want, where we have an educated and engaged populace, unwilling to sacrifice their morals in the acts they accept from their politicians.

    I must be missing something.

    Can you help me understand the chain of causality where this constitutes a vital step in your dream of betterment of the world?

    So, to expand, you are making the future you want by contributing in the effort to rename Post Offices after liberal-leaning persons. You are hoping that people will see that DNC advocates helped to make this happen, and see that the DNC's brand is pivoting to that of a progressive organization. You hope that the people who vote from seeing this will hold the DNC to task in implementing this liberal-leaning agenda. 

    Is that it or am I misunderstanding?

    Booker switched his vote for some reason.

    The Senate took up the $696.5 billion defense bill that the House passed in July with support of 60% of Democrats. And the Senate passed the measure with the support of 41 out of 46 Democratic senators. That was more than 89% of the Democrats; 90%, or 48, of the Republicans voted in favor of the bill. Donald Trump is bound to sign it, adding immense pressure to deficit and budget.

    Senate Supports Funding for U.S.-Israel Missile Defense Cooperation

    AIPAC applauds the U.S. Senate for authorizing a total of $705 million for U.S.-Israel missile defense cooperation in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)—representing a $558 million increase over the president’s budget request and $105 million over last year’s adopted funding level.

    As has been pointed out before, OP seems to have a real bee in their bonnet when it comes to women politicians.
