Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @[email protected]

Out of curiosity, what is stopping a politician from accepting copious amounts of lobbying "donations" then just saying "thanks for the money, dickheads" and making laws against the corp?

If one can do that, I might get into politics.

they won't get the donations for the next campaign, that's what. all that money will go to their opponent and the companies will probably take out a PAC to run ads against them.

politicians aren't self-sacrificial noble people either. they are in it for the money and power, and for the huge benefits they will get post-political career by coming lobbyists themselves.

But if they can’t control you in the first place they would go against you to get someone they can.

You’ve got nothing to lose by “backstabbing” capitalists.
