If a poor man’s blood needs to pass a drug test for the right to eat, then a rich man’s character needs to pass a purity test for the right to govern.
“Purity test” is a covert media distortion that paints class solidarity as naive and idealistic behavior rather than as the rational response from a group of people whose economic conditions have become untenable.
No thinking person is demanding total purity of heart and soul from their candidates. We are demanding they not accept huge campaign donations in exchange for desirable legislation for billionaire shareholders of corporations whose greed is murdering the planet.
