2. This thread isn't about campaign finance. It's about Mrs. Clinton rewarding people who gave money to her husband and to their foundation. Totally fucked up and illegal and nothing at all to do with what you quoted about Sanders and Warren.
Trying to say that we need to remove "money" is ridiculous.
What we need to "remove" are the people who run for office and TAKE that money.
I don't blame any business for trying to gain leverage by spending money. I blame the piece of shit, lying, crooked, politicians who are "for sale" and take that money.
The two-party system is corrupt. It's set up to only allow those who "play the game" to ever get anywhere near the top. That's why we ALWAYS end up with shitty politicians, shitty foreign policy, and shitty economic policy that benefits a few and fucks over everyone else.
All these decades and decades of Republican and Democrat rule and the only "solution" people seem to have is...vote for ANOTHER Republican or Democrat.
No wonder they shit in our faces. They have figured out that they can stay in power together for perpetuity with no repercussions for their actions.
You're a Democrat and fuck the country? No problem. They'll simply vote in a Republican next time, and in 4 to 8 years (after the Republican fucks the country) they will vote in ANOTHER Democrat.
And over, and over, and over, and over....  |
Umm you think big business has nothing to do with this?
The "other" candidate "Jeb Bush" has this exact same scandal a brewing.. While he was Governor of FL he put FL state workers pension into the hands of big investment firms whom donated to his big brother's presidential campaign.
That dumb dizzy bitch whom ran for vice pres with McCain got all kinds of free construction work done to her house by a contractor whom was also grated a big construction job while she was Gov of Alaska.
It's nothing to do with "two party" system and everything to do with the fact that it's completely legal to bribe politicians with cash donations and gifts. Every fucking politician in DC and most state level politicians get this same kind of shit and in return they hand out contracts or winning bids to their donors.
Seriously if you are going to bitch about it.. don't do your biased "blame the liberal" when both parties do the same shit. If their was a "third" party they would be doing the same shit as well because they can..
Remove big money from politics and suddenly a lot of fucking things will change because campaigns will have to be funded by the people, not corporations.
