These two clowns are arguing that people should be in favor of corporations making huge political donations, because they're so liberal.

In brief, the oligarchs prefer to support the corrupt American oligarchy. What a surprise!

The real surprise is that enough ordinary people have woken up so that their donations and support are enough to make a difference, at least as long as the election isn't stolen.

The northeast media is getting awfully desperate for stories.

Yep. Even a RINO traitor like Kevin McCarthy has to admit that Chamber of Commerce and other big institutional donors don’t matter. Crowd funding rules, until Dems and RINOs stamp out ordinary Americans.

Ted is no Linda. He needs more small time doners.

The two newsclowns also don’t seem to get that Hawley and Cruz aren’t up for re-election this fall.

Decisions to only support RINO Republicans probably start all the way up at Blackrock and Vanguard. Forbes estimates that Trump lost half his portfolio value while in office as well, although hopefully that is incorrect.

I think many of us have known we’re going to need an alternative economy to compete, at some point. That time may have finally arrived, in spades. Mike Lindell’s Mystore.com is how something like that would have to start, if anything is ever to be on the level of Amazon etc.

Elections will ALWAYS be stolen to some extent in America.
We can send man to the moon, but can not install theft proof elections.

I should have just read your comment, it is a perfect summary of what they are saying.

Good. I’m tired of supporting politicians who mostly care about supporting corporations.

Good, now these politicians can try LISTENING TO THEIR VOTERS, rather than the corporate interests who simply buy their support.

The misdirected fire of voting rights groups and media pundits is even more alarming given that substantial funding of the objectors comes not from business at all, but from individuals. Despite losing virtually 100% of their business support, Hawley, Cruz, Gaetz, and their peers have drawn similar or increased support from individuals.

F*ck the corporatists and f*ck their fascist ties to government.
