This isn't personal. The comment was directed at all the people who refuse to vote out the people who are screwing them.

Woj's comment shows how bad it's become. There are only one winner from that clause and it's not the American People. How do Americans fix it? Make politicians fear them, make good people believe things can change so they stand and win without the need of billionaire backers.
