Politics inherently tries to control the narrative.
and paying off influencers to not mention sensitive topic seems like a pretty pathetic way to do that.
Like, maybe they should try committing to real policy changes, or promote popular candidates who manage to mobilize voters, rather than have a complete melt down when their preferred candidate loses a primary.
Or not fire one of their most effective organizers when he starts trying to spend money on popular candidates.
Maybe they should stop trying to manufacture sudo progressive candidates that look pretty and do as little as possible.
That would all be a really fucking good way to influence the narrative.
But they want to have their cake and eat it to. They want donor cash to maintain the political consultant/lobbyist revolving door system.
There's a reason you always see $ before sudo.
They should stop lol
