Cash wasted on liars and traitors. Are the Maine voters dumb enough to keep her in office?
The cost of election campaigns in the US is just ridiculous. How/why does it cost millions/billions of dollars to run for public office?
The cost comes from running ad campaigns on all media types, which are unfortunately shown effective, and PAC groups can unfortunately spend unlimited money attacking the opposition.
Kill the rich, save the poor. Taxation, is not enough for the current era. There must be justice for the crimes committed. Once they are dead, then we can figure out how to run the world without capitalism. Untill then, the elimination of the ultra-rich by any means should be the goal. Everything else is noise.
It would be nice to have a post-conflict plan TBH. But yeah, whatever the plan, that would be step 1
I prefer my group of billionaires over their group. The Senate is so outrageously corrupt it is hard the fathom. It was created as a wealthy check on the will of the people. Just let that sink in.
It must be nice to be a sock puppet for the ruling class. Gotta feel great peeling off hundreds from their trillions.
BUT these Billionaires CARE about Us! THATS why they're FORCING us to Invest ALL OUR RETIREMENT into Their Companies so they can be Trillionaires!
Hey, now. Susan Collins is very concerned about all the billionaire money in politics. Very concerned. Almost very, very concerned. Right on the edge.
She's not happy about it, but in the end, after wrestling with her conscience, she will take their money, but she's not happy about it, and she'll do whatever they tell her to do, but she's not happy about it.
To them, losing the "progressives can't win purple states" narrative would be a catastrophe.
Not only can progressives win in purple states, I bet they can win in these supposedly "red" states that have been abandoned by the Dems in recent years. Progressive takeover of the Democratic Party needs to happen ASAP.
