      Giving politicians money is a good idea, when you can be reasonable sure it’ll be beneficial to you or society. Money is needed for elections, and if you don’t give the rich will win all of them even more so

        Elections shouldn’t NEED money. They are operated by the government and there is a public option. What elections NEED is less money, specifically no corporate or super pac money laundering.

          They’ll always need money as long as money remains a concept. You still need to do outreach, and that isn’t free no matter what it ideally should be.

          Allowing small person money with a low limit would be the best way to go about it(within the constraints of our current economic system) in my opinion, with banning higher sums.

        Lol right?

        These idiots act like there are good options that also have a chance.

        Usually there’s a good option with no chance, then a corpo Democrat then a religious corpo Republican who has a random hill they wanna die on like pedophilia or banning porn or something.

        Like golly who do you pick?

      I mean, who was his Republican counterpart? Because I feel like Fettermen would likely be better than them.

      Not saying I don’t wish there had been a different dem candidate in his place, but you can’t really fault voters for not realizing he was a bait and switch. Be it intentionally or the stroke.

            I remember being so pissed off about Oz even being in the race. Dude is from NJ, he shouldn’t have ever been running in PA. I expected better of Fetterman when I voted for him, but I’ll take most anyone over Dr Oz
