There was s study about this year's ago. They compared popularity of bills and how they were passed and there was no difference; Congress just did what they want. I suspect if your redid the study to compare bills passed to corporate interests you'd get much more revealing results.

I want to understand what Skippy says, but when 'literally' is the best adverb available I just don't want to hear any more.

Take over the democratic party with actual leftists. If the fascists can do it with the GOP, we can do it with leftists/the DNC.

Just vote for the right people for a decade and it can happen
