So when you see headlines like “Fuckface donating $45 Million A Month to 
” and also this attached story, here’s how to fight back.
1. When I read this, I’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.
@AskTheDevil as long as those lobbyists represent my interests, I’m good. Yes, sometimes they do.
@AskTheDevil I’m sorry, but there are a great many number of lobbyists who represent decent values that you and I agree on. I’d encourage you to find a few. 😊
@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 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.
