So when you see headlines like โ€œFuckface donating $45 Million A Month to :Asshat: โ€ and also this attached story, hereโ€™s how to fight back.

1. When I read this, Iโ€™m now more motivated to vote for Biden and Democrats.
2. I enjoy watching these billionaire fools waste their money on losers.

@mikeharmanos Those billionnaire fools are typically donating large sums to both parties, so that no matter who wins, their lobbyists will have a seat in their offices.

@mikeharmanos They _absolutely_ do not. They represent the interests of people who have most of the money and want the rest of it.

I think it's purely a crime that we've been tricked into thinking that those lobbyists have any purpose other than maximizing profit and influence.

@AskTheDevil Iโ€™m sorry, but there are a great many number of lobbyists who represent decent values that you and I agree on. Iโ€™d encourage you to find a few. ๐Ÿ˜Š

@mikeharmanos I don't think you are aware of what a lobbyist is.

There are a very small number of lobbyists who work for nonprofit interest groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, or Greenpeace.

They have almost _zero_ power to affect things, because the other 90+% of influence comes from corporate/industr and big donors.

When politicians take big donations, they listen to the lobbyists from those big donors. Not you, and not your little groups.

@mikeharmanos I am extremely curious now as to which lobbyists you believe represent your interests.

@mikeharmanos thereโ€™s two ways to hit them

Boycott republicans backing businesses and donate to your candidates

@mikeharmanos there are so many different makes. But I think Elon is just paying off trumps debt for something, hard telling what
