I said it before, I’ll say it again.
Lobbying is just bribery with extra steps.
I saw a video of protesters making a lot of noise outside hotels where some of these people are staying. And I just wanted to leave this link here.
Just because the solution isn’t readily available doesn’t mean that its a lost cause. In most cases, no individual is solely responsible for the whole problem. It takes a huge coordinated effort from the public via protesting to make any impactful difference.
And it’s not a radical change in terms of it being a completely new concept. If anything it’s just going back to pre 2005 which is exactly the root of the problem (citizens united vs FEC)
I’m not a citizen of this country and I don’t have the ability to vote, but the reality that your vote and your voice means nothing to those in power must be incredibly depressing.
