    Those donors can go straight off and fuck themselves.

    Unfortunately, they are the real power in this country. They are the king makers. Our political system is largely just a competition between two factions of wealthy elites. If not a true oligarchy, it’s very oligarchic.

      You’re right, we should start throwing them in the river while they bleat about how they are too important for things like that to happen to them, and then start holding publicly funded elections.

      I am sure it is no coincidence that after Biden raised corporate taxes significantly and spent 2 trillion dollars on working people and climate change, they are suddenly so eager to switch to someone else (without particularly being bothered about who that other person should be and how they might fare in the election against Trump and playing up signs of weakness from the Biden side to argue for replacing him).
