(15,469 posts)Was it the uninformed repuglican voters who pled allegiance to their party above everything else (country, humanity, decency, rationality, etc.)?
Or was it some special interest groups that could use the "nudge" factor to highly influence their pick (US plutocrats, media conglomerates, vested interests - fossilized fuel companies)?
Or was it active meddling in the process itself? I don't think it matters if they are US or foreign - they are subverting the democratic process.
Is it a grand plan to periodically choose a party/person(s) that are so devastating that it's like a lower-colonic? The shit comes out, spews, pollutes, kills millions; but eventually everything is like Eden again.

(22,205 posts)Kind of hard to come up w/ a bill during 'regular' bouts between democrats and/or indep and/or repubs let alone when tRUMP keeps changing goalposts...no wonder no one in the business world wants to work or contract w/ tRUMP since he is changing goals/etc. all of the time if he can get away w/ it. Asshat...

(61,712 posts)the center of attention, even if it hurts groups he purports to support, like the military. He doesn't give a flying frack what is in the damn bill. He has no values or core philosophy for governing. He just wants to be the one with the power of the pen.
