See, this is the problem with running rich white people in the Democratic Party right now. How can they consistently call themselves the party of the people when they're running white, privileged millionaires like Warren (who
is white), Sanders and Biden, even a billionaire in Hillary Clinton? The type of people that the Democratic Party are after are already figuring that out, and it's going to be a disaster for them in 2020 if they wind up split between a "man of the people" and an "establishment: candidate, like what happened in 2016.
Also, I believe the proper, respectful term is "wigwam".

There is a huge difference between representing clients in bankruptcy court and being the person who declared bankruptcy.
The former should drive away from the courthouse in a Mercedes, having worked hard to earn it.
The latter should drive away in a Kia.
And the latter should really try to make the whole thing a "one time only, lessons learned" type of experience. Not an "oops I did it again."

Lets start with Maxine Waters:
Maxine Moore Waters is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Waters is currently in her 15th term in the House, having served since 1991. She previously represented the state's 29th district and 35th district. She is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in Congress; she chaired the Congressional Black Caucus from 1997 to 1999.
Did you know:
1) She owns a 4.5 million dollar home-

Maxine Waters Under Siege: Congresswoman lives in $4.8M mansion, Paid daughter $750,000 to mail campaign flyers.
2) A few years ago, Waters was charged by the House ethics committee for allegedly securing bailout funds for a bank in which her husband owned stock.

3) She received three counts of violating House rules in addition to the federal ethics code. These charges were linked to her moves to establish a meeting between OneUnited bank representatives and Treasury officials in 2008. The committee stated that Waters’ moves to benefit OneUnited bank would serve as personally beneficial to her own interests due to her husband’s ownership of stock. The Congresswoman and her attorney filed a motion to have the charges dismissed, but unsurprisingly, the ethics panel denied it.

And she is now The Chair of the House Financial Services Committee.
I get the ethics charges, but why is Maxine Waters "busted" for being wealthy? Can only poor people work to end poverty?
Because she's nothing but a corrupt politician who hypocritically castigates people for doing things less corrupt than her to get wealthy.

This only bothers you when it's Liberal? Besides the Trump family, who is cashing in big time, who else is she castigating?

Being a black female who was born ~ 25 years prior to the Civil Rights Act (and only 20 years after women were granted the right to vote in the US), I'd have to say that she has done remarkably well for herself.

"Progressive"
Such a positive term for such hate-filled rhetoric. If they don't agree with you - they are evil. If they don't think like you - they are evil. Everyone must be the same. EVERYONE!
Seriously though.. we don't need anyone to post the Republican side. The mainstream media reports on that EVERY SINGLE DAY. It's the liberals you never hear about.
The Democrat Party is seriously divided and in a lot of trouble. Do they move even further left and oust some of the long time "establishment" people or does the "establishment" part of the party eliminate the far left wing?

Short list of fun stuff from Mad Max.
None of those had much to do with the specific criticism you originally leveled at her. At least you're consistent.
Do you ever criticize Trump?

It's a long time until November, 2020. At lot of this will work itself out. Republicans will rest on their laurels expecting Democrats to feed on themselves at their own peril.

Sure, when he does stuff I disagree with I'll criticize him for it. Haven't seen much of that other than not being aggressive enough on his Obamacare repeal.

I think both parties will end up split within the next 20 years. Buckle up kiddos, here come the Whigs!
