> Do you think Elon Musk turned into a hardcore Republican just for the political favors? I think people with enough money to have major political influence play “teammates” with any party who gives them what they want. Striking down the McCain-Feingold act was a major blow to American politics. Quid pro quo is only illegal if bribery can be proven, so it effectively has no teeth even though we can all witness the corruption in plain sight. There’s hardly any serious politicians to vote for at the national stage, because winning is the only priority and corruption is how you win. McConnell stated this plainly when he went after the McCain-Feingold act. "We do it because we'd like to win. We'd like to win. There's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to win," McConnell says.[1] [1] https://www.npr.org/2020/11/24/938449068/essential-mitch-the-money-part-1 https://www.npr.org/2020/11/24/938449068/essential-mitch-the...
