    The reason why you’re being downvoted here is beyond me. Surely, everybody understands, that vast majority of politicians are “for sale”, and maybe only a handful of them have any decency at all.

      Probably the usual contingent of pro-establishment neoliberal lemmings that roam in large herds across all of the political groups, pretending that only the fascist party is ever wrong or corrupt, while being a Dem is to automatically be pure and good and right about everything 🤷

      Thankfully, they usually get outvoted by people without their blinders, like seems to have been the case here 🙂

          Yeah, they tend to all happen at once and then other people come later and rectify it so that the truth they abhor usually ends up with a positive score.

            Yeah they used to call it the twitter outrage effect or something similar. The people who respond quickest are usually able to do so because they are the least active in offline society. But hey it makes me enjoy the downvotes, because like you I’ve seen what makes those same folks cheer. These same people will tell you “blue no matter who” is nothing like being a “MAGA cultist” despite it having the literal same basis that the “others” are so dangerous we can forego any and all complaints and should stay silenced to win “or else.”
