It always amazes me that politicians do not act in the interests/with the will of the people, only corporate and political interests. It shouldn't surprise me, but it does.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

The only thing that amazes me about is how cheap it is to get a meeting with a presidential candidate. I'm not sure the going rate now, but it was around half a million dollars in 2016, and quite a few outlets reported on it. A measly 500k is nothing for most major corporations, and if it can get you a few minutes in private with a presidential candidate to demand a favor, there's no better investment that you can make.
Wow!
I think it should be considered treason
Eh, I see the point, but I'm not too keen on treason being an extant idea.
If we look at the actions of the party in power over the last several decades, it becomes clear that it doesn't matter who we elect. Both Democrats and Republicans, based on their actions when they're in power, have the same policy on Israeli genocide.
