Citizens United ain't gonna get reversed with Mitch's handpicked supreme court appointments. But y'all voted GOP because tranny bathrooms or something.
About this part... I'm not often absolutely sure (though I write that way) about what I think, I keep learning more, disappointing my belief in simplifying the problems. For example, a simple "Marxist" economic understanding of social ills. Bumper sticker I saw recently: Don't believe everything you think. Amen. Anyway, I saw this today, reminding me that Psychology has something to say to Marx: Ideas The Capitol Rioters Weren’t ‘Low Class’ The business owners, real-estate brokers, and service members who rioted acted not out of economic desperation, but out of their belief in their inviolable right to rule. 10:23 AM ET Adam Serwer Staff writer at The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/thoroughly-respectable-rioters/617644/
yes, welcome back. one of the few rational voices of reason. who doesn't like playing virtual tug of war like the rest of us.
I'm not referring to the Capitol rioters. I put them in the same bucket that I put the BLM violent rioters burning and looting all in the name of racial equality. I'm referring to how we are played to go after one side but not the other because it is about Right and Left, and not Right and Wrong like it should be. By the way, that is a great bumper sticker!
Problem has been there for a very long time and games by both parties. There are no clean hands when it comes to whoring themselves out for corporate money. None at all.
Remind me how the citizens United vote broke down? This "both sides" narrative seldomly is backed by the facts
Fuck the citizens United vote. Do Democrats take money from corporations, yes or no? Kubuki theater votes that they know aren't going anywhere is just more virtue signaling. They all take the money, because they all have the exact same priorities. Reelection. Everything else runs a distant second if on any agenda at all.
The facts: All GOP take money A large marjority of dems take money The above is possible because a conservative supreme court legalized bribery through citizens united. You can say "fuck citizens united vote" and say "everything runs second" but until you recognize how we got here, you won't be able to fix it because you'll keep voting for the party that favors legalized corruption
You're probably impressed by billionaires who say they should and would pay more taxes, but since the law doesn't require it they don't.
