How the fuck is it even remotely legal for a politician to sign an NDA with a corporation to hide information from their constituents?

Can you have recall elections? Those are no longer your politicians, they are corporate employees.

You'd think people would look at all these political jagoffs and think,"Nope, not voting for that corrupt mother fucker again. Fool me once..." But then, these fucking shit voters, the idiotic population, continues to vote for the same fucking people expecting things to change. They fucking know that reps aren't helping them, but still vote the same. I'll continue to vote for the better candidates, but I've given up hope of seeing change before I shuttle off this mortal coil.

Without punishment or consequences, it doesn't matter. We're cooked.
