She blasted politicians on both sides for ditching substantive policy proposals with what she called "rage-baiting political rhetoric," which convinces people, "The system is rigged against you, populists preach, so forget trying to fix that system. Instead, let’s blow it all up and punish whoever rigged it in the first place."

I think she agrees with you about the politicians.
