“Federal Election Commission records show Stein paid $100,000 in July to a consulting outfit that has worked with Republican campaigns, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid. The firm, Accelevate, is operated by Trent Pool. The Intercept reported that he appeared to be part of the mob that breached the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6., 2021. The Journal hasn’t independently verified the reporting.”
Comparing Russian influence on a compromised asset to lobbyists is a bit of a reach bud. But you do you!
Wow, wow. Have you seen Erin Brokovich? Do you think corporations have your best interest at heart? Triangle shirtwaist factory? OSHA? Johnson&Johnson gave generations of babies cancer with their talc. Just look up tort reform and tort cases. Watch the documentary Hot Coffee. Watch the documentary The Bleeding Edge about medical devices. How about the Oakville Blob scandal that happened during Clinton’s administration? What about social media companies and tech companies and the products they produce? Lead in baby food and Dollar Tree foods. The Nestle baby formula scandal. Thalidomide babies. Glyphosate being a neurotoxin that’s permeated our water supply. What about environmental impacts of our companies and how those are genociding more people than actual active war? What about P Diddy and Epstein and all their connections to literal business owners who fund and come up with many policies? Or earth being past 6 of 9 planetary boundaries?
And think about how insurance companies lobbied to prevent Medicare for All policies and the best thing we could get was Obamacare. Or how price gouging has been shown to have happened with current inflation around fucking FOOD prices. Or how fucking taxes and tax breaks work for corporations compared to the rates in the 70s.
Notice how all these things harm the general public? The very people our representatives should represent? Yeah, Dems are shills and have blood on their hands.
They are literally killing us through abusive policies, inaction, medical neglect, starvation, climate change, and mismanagement. The Dems may be less fucked up than others, but they are absolutely fucked up.
Clinton was buddies with Epstein. They are NOT “for the people.” They are for the status quo.
The state of political discourse on Lemmy:
Jesus. You can’t make this up
Whatever you say kiddo.
What? I’m in my thirties and a sex worker. I’m not a “kiddo”
If that’s what you wanted to have said- it’s good for you that you managed to say it, isn’t it?
Why wouldn’t I want to say that? I am an adult talking about an adult topic. I gave you numerous examples of Dems being a shill, which you literally asked for:
And neither I nor the other commenter are advocating for voting for Stein or Trump. Im voting for Kamala specifically because I think she will help sex workers. So it’s kinda funny how hostile you’re being with your little insults when we are on the ‘same side.’ Another Dem with the emotional and verbal abuse, you all can’t resist it, can you? And then Dems wonder why people aren’t motivated to vote for them lol.
What problems does Russian interference cause, that isn’t present with corporate interference? You assert they are totally different and being a shill for one is drastically different than a shill for another (admitting Dems are shills). Both are guilty of killing people and misinformation. It’s just who personally gets the financial benefits that changes. So how is being a shill for Blackrock so much better than a shill for Russia?
If Kamala was a shill for Russia and Trump was a corporate shill, but their policies were the same, would it be more moral to vote for who they shill for, or for the policies they say they will put forth?
Like if Kamala was a Russian asset, and Trump wasn’t, who would you vote for?
I don’t answer stupid hypotheticals asked by people in bad faith after they called me a coward.
You lost any chance to have a mature discussion on the topic.
Fine, I accept your forfeiture and loss.
It’s definitely proving my coward accusation wrong by running away from an argument you’re losing. Sir Robin ran away…
Forfeiture and loss….
Bud, you lost this shit before it started. And don’t think I don’t recognize your troll attempts by the way. Mods love it from what I understand. And based on your mod logs, you’re on thin ice as it is.
Toodles!
