Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell bluntly warned Republican senators in a private meeting not to sign on to a bill from Sen. Josh Hawley aimed at limiting corporate money bankrolling high-powered outside groups, telling them that many of them won their seats thanks to the powerful super PAC the Kentucky Republican has long controlled.
Yes just keep handing our democracy over to the highest bidders and see how this all ends
You make it sound like that’s not the express aim of the mainstream republican politicians. This isn’t a bug to them, it’s a feature.
Seems optimistic to assume most Dems are much better
One of the most successful con-jobs ever was convince people that all Democrats and all Republicans are the same because all it does it create apathy among democratic voters and help Republicans get elected.
Hey, you guys remember that time that Democrat president refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power, refused to accept that he lost the election and said that Congress shouldn’t certify the vote? Then, most of the Democrats in Congress just blindly agreed and said fuck the vote results, let’s keep this guy!
Yeah, that was pretty treasonous of those Democrats.
“January 6th was antifa in maga hats” ugh. All we can do is try to vote them out or vote to keep them out.
I cannot fucking stand the fact that EVERYTHING that comes up in politics is always dismissed as “equal.” Every fucking time… “Republicans did x,y,z” “yeah? Well Democrats did a,b,c so it’s the same thing.”
Then as you say the apathy kicks in and it allows you to say “fuck it, I’m still voting for R)Mr.Babykiller because D)Mrs.Babypincher is just as bad plus she’s a communist Venezuela socialism or whatever Tucker Carlson said she was.”
Just keep fighting the good fight!
Idk man, as a Canadian looking at US politics from outside, it seems kinda naive to presume Dems aren’t also incredibly corrupt.
But yes Trump and his goonies are another level
