Okay but... blaming the other side gets tiring after a few decades. When will we blame those who allowed it, and moreover how much did Kamala Harris spend by comparison?
If it's still too raw and early for such, please just ignore me. I'm still spinning, like all of us, and seeing desperately for some reasoning to help make sense of it all.
What do the campaign expenditures of Kamala Harris have to do with how much Elon Musk paid as what boils down to a bribe to Trump?
Trump received 3x less bribes than Kamala. What are you even talking about? It has everything to do with it.
Original post is simply about Elon paying a bunch of money and being gifted a position in Trump's cabinet. Kamala still has nothing to do with that.
Pretending like lobbying doesn't exist and democrats don't take part is crazy. You're looking at it through a lens that distorts your worldview because you dont like the person.
I dont like them either, but this is standard operating procedure in the united states with legal ~~bribery~~i mean lobbying. Even if they dont get the official positions, they're policies are all bought and paid for.
Huh? Where have I said anything about lobbying not existing? Or democrats not partaking of lobbyist money? The original post is about Elon Musk buying DOGE. That's it. Stop putting words in my mouth.
Its not about the amount of money that was spent, its about the obvious conflict of interest between the individuals private interests, and the government controlling how much tax payers funds are being funnelled into their private interests.
Have the dems fucked around and found out? Sure, but don't compare a failure to save a bad status quo (D) with a concerted effort to rebuild the status quo in a way that exclusively benefits them (R)
Well said.
