It's no wonder she lost to Trump.

No self-awareness whatsoever.

This is the fundamental message of the modern Democratic Party.

"Yes, you will still be boiled alive, but we will do it more slowly."

And what's extra hair-pullingly-frustrating about it all is that they'll get blamed for the boil anyway... which will result in Republicans winning and turning up the heat.

There's no way out. Its either a crew that will compromise and fritter away what time we have left or a crew that will pedal-to-the-metal straight off the cliff.

Just enough to get elected, never enough to solve the problem. Job security...

I wish we'd just outlaw lobbying.. I want an electric economy car.. But all that gets built are stupid SUV junk that nobody can afford.

I wish we’d just outlaw lobbying…

Idk if I want to live in a country where its a crime to talk to your elected representatives.

But I would like to live in a country where I could talk to my representative outside of a fundraising event or private service.

Yeah, but this is pretty much bribery with extra steps

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

The bribery tends to come after - book deals and speaking fees, executive jobs and board positions for family members, assorted Tom DeLay style junkets to resorts flagged as "fact finding" missions.

The access that professional lobbyists provide are gatekeeping mechanisms to make sure the person who will eventually bribe you is legit.

Trump also destroyed her in the debates and there was a Russian story about emails being pushed

[-] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Lmao Trump has never destroyed anyone in a debate, are you feee-basing rn?

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

You should go back and watch it

This time with the understanding that 1. Americans are the dumbest people on the planet 2. The undecided voters are even worse

The issues don’t mean anything in these debates because everyone already knows the positions, there is no new information. All that matters are the quips/one liners and Trump had way more of those
