You're talking about a technicality. Yes, it's not in the executive branch for sure - it's just through the initial part of the legislature. However, if you think both sides (R's & D's) haven't been extremely influenced you're living in a partisan fantasy.
Democrats love to talk populism while taking contributions from big everything (biz, banks, unions, special interests, etc). The Republicans do the same shit - they just talk populism seasoned with pro-business themes.
- jbooth 16y agoNo, I'm talking about a clear-cut fact. All the standard-issue corruption aside, the current Republican party has made it their official policy to gum up congress completely, hoping that come election-time, they can point to a lack of progress and regain control of the House. It's clear as day. It might even be a good move, from a game theory perspective. Not so much from a "honor the oath you swore when you took office" perspective.
