7. By all means, Kool-Aid sippers, let the media and money elect the next President!
It's worked out so well for us all before, why change a good thing? :eyes:

Follow the money, folks. How are the candidates taking in millions from lobbyist groups (which get their money from big corporations) going to make changes to our benefit?

They aren't. Face it: to help the American people have lower drug costs, bank fees, etc., they are going to impact the profits of those corporations. But the candidates taking money from those corporations have compromised their ability to make change, because they are indebted to those corporations.

Follow the money, the money is where it will benefit the corporations the most. And that's bad for the American people.
