The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

But even Dems are unlikely to cut off corporate funding.
This outcome was inevitable and has been predicted for over two hundred years
Also overturn Citizens United.
We need a new party. No cowards.
Democrsts lure illegal aliens to the US. They provide free food and healthcare (via Medicaid). The illegals show up at the voting booth (where no ID is required) and who do they vote for? The party that provides then with food and medical.
Our founders were horrible people They wrote flowery words on paper. All that trump the Republicans the democrats are doing is restoring the country and the system to their factory settings Genocide slavery exploitation landtheft and no rights for anyone but the rich
Forget about integrity!
Oh,… and by the way….
It’s highly addictive.
The more they get
the more they WANT!
it’s a pit that can never be filled
This is so hilariously over the top grotesque theater of the absurd. I’m beside myself.
such a hilarious character. And the triangle guy.
💰🔄 👊
Democracy > oligarchy > mafia state
Not gonna happen during this awful regime but hoping for the future.
Besides which, elections (if we ever see another!) are outrageously, disgustingly, grossly expensive. It’s a crime. And all bogus expensive show.
This is the missing link, the disconnect. It appears that the people have no power after the elections if the congress sails off after the swearing in.
Also, restrict lobbyist from 'funding' local initiatives and referendums.

They have the capital we feed the need.
Ever since the land owners threw their tea and gave us the “electoral college” it’s been this way.
But they have gotten too arrogant and greedy.
They also got worst at hiding their hypocrisy thus we can see them more clearly now.
At least we get the chance to turf out some of the scum occasionally though.
Citizens United.
The beginning of the end. (Actually, some would say the beginning came earlier, so maybe it was just the acceleration of the end.)
Wow.
They approved of the pardon for January 6ers, but before the election, they were antifa "framing" Republicans.
😮 Not even a blip on their screen for many.
... oh. 🤔
Why is it so difficult for politicians to rally around this one idea and root it out? Wouldn’t it make their job tremendously easier?
Corrupted from the beginning!
We all knew it would be disastrous. Here we are. USA for sale
There are no pockets where we’re all headed.
What could any of us hope to buy more valuable than a respectable society?
I guess it's just greed en masse!

Trump is the manifestation of this greed, as was Hitler!
Because Biden signed the biggest climate bill in history. By far. Didn't Obama create the ACA which was bettered under Biden? Didn't Biden sign the first major gun safety legislation in 30 years?
You said "no" action.
Are you lying or just wanting hugs?
Time for a paradigm shift.
NRA Was 'Foreign Asset' To Russia Ahead of 2016, New Senate Report Finds

More specifics - such as $ contributions from specific companies and the direct result on actions taken (or not taken) by congress would be more effective.
We are too “general” in our messaging.
CORRUPTION!
And we aren't the only nation on earth with money, so it seems unsmart to have unknown monies able to play & game this system.
Whatever rationales/excuses offered for Citizens United have demonstrated their folly, bearing witness to the forced necessity of big money in elections.
"According to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a secretive, corrupting campaign finance system is at the root of political dysfunction dividing Americans across the country — and he says Congress better fix it."

Government in capitalism = protections for citizens
Fascism doesnt care what your politics are, it will corrupt whatever it can with no remorse. Fascism is the sith. Fascism is the Jedi. Both oppress in different ways. They both "know" whats best.
Musk has proven he will extort America via manipulation with StarLink etc. The 5th Amend. Takings Clause provides for confiscation of nearly anything.
Dems can run on the idea and help create the power to do it
And scare the villain shitless
Repost to spread
Scholars Agree
Just statin' the facts
Now please explain what do we do when our Supreme Court
has given him full immunity from prosecution?
I’m not being sarcastic you are a brilliant man you have always been spot on about everything!!
So please tell us before Fuhrer47’s Hitlerville
They should stop thumping their Bibles and instead sit quietly and read them.
No action on defunding the fashion state of Israel or ending the genocide.
People will want to get back to their lives,and the lobbiest wont have enough time to sink teeth into anyone
