If that's the game we are playing why don't we go back to the paloelithic age when the continents probably hadn't separated from Africa yet? In which case there was no America. Why do you this? You stay saying stupid half thought out shit.
I don't know if you noticed but elections are expensive, they mentioned a billion dollars, and you poors donating $27 at a time don't donate enough money to successfully beat out the Republicans who have no problem taking corporate money. It'd take 37 million of you to donate that much, at that rate. So yeah, i'll take corporate money if it gets us to the target, the White House, and overwhelming majorities in the senate and the Congress, where we can then make rules about corporate money in politics.
But i'm not falling for the corporate money purity test; it's a recipe cooked up by those who want to keep us on the fringes of government, beholden to the corporate interests that currently run the government, and forever not having any actual access to power. By having less money in all our political races (in this political climate) we have fewer candidates, and less influence in the government.
I used to believe that shit but i've seen how all it does is keep us sidelined, while billionaires fund their pet candidates. Gimme all the money.
Again, you keep saying stuff that shows how little brainpower has actually been applied to what you've said.
Bah humbug. They're all from blue if not solidly blue districts.
Rep Sharice Davids, on the other hand, isnt. She is a freshman congresswoman. You don't see her twitter fingers writing checks the Democratic party has to cash. She's busy doing the work that needs to be done. Oh, and AOCs chief of staff said some really dubious/ intellectually dishonest things about her. He needs to apologise.
Rep Katie Porter, another freshman, is busy kicking ass in the legislature and she too beat a Republican incumbent to get the position.
Rep Lauren Underwood, also beat a GOP incumbent, has probably the best healthcare ideas out there, as a freshman congressperson, because she used to be a nurse. She also not spreading conspiracies on Twitter but busy kicking arse in Congress.
Rep Lucy McBath is another dynamic freshman congressperson who unseated a Republican incumbent, you don't see her exercising her twitter fingers, but shes making real strides in the fight for gun control.
It would behoove you to get your information from more than whatever leftist sites you get them from. It'll open your mind and prevent you from, again, spouting half baked shit.
This is a perfect example of what i'm talking about about your lack of forethought. The first step to fighting corruption is having control of the White House, Senate, and Congress.
If you don't get the money, you don't win elections. If you don't win elections you can't effect change. Don't put the cart before the horse because you don't like looking at the horses ass as it pulls your cart.
This is why I can't respect you;
you stay saying stupid shit. You're anti getting money to win elections, and your champion is "anti corruption" then you say dumb shit like this. Black people have to get rich or get non corrupt officials. Really? Fuck off.
