Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won't accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that's changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
- No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
- Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
- Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
- This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.
We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

This is about corporate money, not policy. They guy refused corporate funding. So now you're talking about a new generation of politician that can't be bought. Is it any mystery that a person earns millions as a senator or house member?
Senators only make 174k. I say only because they all end up millionaires. How does that add up?
They want to keep getting paid, this guy throws a wrench into that system.
Refusing corporate money IS a policy.
If you refuse corporate money, your policies will stop being corporate policies (otherwise there is no point in not taking the money). This is also why the billionaires and their prostitutes in the political sphere are so scared.
Principally someone who makes 174k can definitely safe up enough money to become a millionaire over a period of for instance 20 years.
You had me at "throwing wrenches"
Well....if you can dodge a wrench!
