You can’t tell me that every single one of the regulatory decisions by this administration that allowed a company to do something or benefitted an individual, company or industry were not the direct result of a literal bribe.
Pardons are an excellent example, aside from the J6ers. That was entirely PR for their wacko base. All those crypto bros convicted of shit that they pled guilty to? Come fucking on.
All the drug price regulations where they were going to negotiate ‘favored pricing’ have resulted in exemptions for the most profitable drugs for years - likely until the patents were going to fall off and they would be fucked by generics anyway. This is 100% pay to play. Give them a cut and you can fuck over the not-0.1% american people all day long, no matter what their political background is.
Political parties aren’t about being transparent or representing the people who actually vote for you.
They’re about managing public relations to keep getting people to vote for the financiers of the party.
Didn’t we learn this after what they did to Bernie in 2016?
The reason why they lost is because the biggest money sided with policies and candidates that voters don’t want. If they tried going with a true leftist populist they would have financial support dropped and the candidate would be at odds with almost all the other elected representatives.
There are countless policies that should be changed that everyone wants changed but will never change because it will outrage the money and keeping the people in power still in power. None of this system is about putting what the people really want in place, it’s about managing the narrative so they can push those horrible policies and stick to the oligarch lobbyist dynamic.
Even if they are forced to release a report, it will not be the real one. They can never release the honest truth, because it would be used against them.
