If someone is going to sell out the commons - isn't it better if they sell them out for a high price not a pittance.
- LunaSea 11mo agoIt is absolutely. A murderer is not the same as a person that committed genocide. A very silly argument you tried to pull there.
- ReptileMan 11mo agoThe crime is the same, Trump just wants higher payment.
- LunaSea 11mo agoCrimes have degrees of severity. Also Trump is already a convicted criminal.
- retsibsi 11mo agoThe important difference is not the price, but the extent of the corruption. A politician whose public persona is clean, law-abiding, respectful of norms and institutions, and generally benevolent will be limited in how far they will go to abuse their power and sell out their country -- even if they are secretly very cynical and amoral. A politician who is openly corrupt, above the law, norm breaking, and vindictive will be free to do much more damage.
