@jbayes Stone-cold sober, unfortunately. You've got a problem with straw man opponents being kept on life support by the real villains, just to "prove" that there's an opposition.
I look at the likes of Kat Abugazaleh (Illinois) and Katie Porter (California), and they seem to be quite strong counterexamples contradicting that claim. Straw men, being funded by the rich, they definitely are not.
