The enshittification of politics

62. Follow the Money

It will always disappoint you in the end. So much human motivation is based on obtaining a few more pieces of silver.

It is the media that tells us a presidential campaign will cost $1B. That is the entry fee to even get mentioned during the nightly news. If you don't have the cash, you are not a serious candidate.

I believe I heard a house seat averages $7M. For $180K/year job?

The wealthy are buying this country, the Supremes say it is OK.
Do what they say or they will withhold their funds.
If the Republicans take control, there will be "closing papers" instead of an inauguration.

President Biden and VP Harris are the only option that will help those of us who have to worry about how much money is in the account today.

We need campaign financing reform that the Supremes cannot overrule.
