Calling someone your “brother and sister” is a bit stronger than a “compliment,” wouldn’t you say?That may be, but sometimes you need to talk the language. Most people know where she stands. There is nothing wrong with attempting to relate. In that article she was trying to reach the union, not her base. The base gets it for the most part.

Well, if you’re right, “the base” is really screwed up.
It reminds me of the Scottish lords in “Braveheart.” “The base” leaves their blood on the battlefield while the bigshots make sure they have a “seat at the table.”

(If you have a foot in both camps, don't be surprised when the battle sweeps over and destroys you.)
