I vote democrat. I really do, but I am upset with democrats because they aren't crafting a world we want to live in and they will take any excuse they can to do nothing or something close to nothing instead of actually doing something.
One of the reasons democrat don't get voted for is because they are incapable of governance even in their own strongholds because they engage in the conflict of interest of taking corporate donations. When a politician acts against a citizen, there is no consequence. When a politician acts against a corporation, donations are reduced or transferred to their opponents.
Before a general election is a primary, and before a primary is fundraising. During fundraising, which acts as a filter for candidates, and is therefore a form of election, money votes first, which is why we have a country that feels like politicians represent corporations (they do, corporations vote first by voting with money), rather than people.
- Henchman21 2y agoWell said, and I agree generally. I’m not happy with the political situation in the US either. But this still seems like a very pro-consumer action taken by the AG. Perhaps not as pro-consumer as suing them into non-existence and destroying their (our?) data. But honestly the Dems have been out-played at every level. I suspect we’re going to have to leave them behind if we wish to fix what ails us in this country. But also as people constantly remind me when I am upset: the thing you’re upset about is only tangentially relevant. :)
