Comment on Republican? Democrat? There is a third option:
Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 weeks agoNo? It’s hypocritical for Dems to demand voters give them money while telling people they want money out of politics. Personally I’d make it so politicians are paid the minimum wage of the state they represent and aren’t allowed to take bribes, donations, gifts from corporations or CEOs, and election funds are a pooled resource where everyone running for any party, big or small, has access to the same amount. Anyone found getting extra funds is immediately kicked out and banned from holding any level of government office, including even being a town mayor.

No? If we take them at their word, they want it so they can propagandize enough to be put in a position to ban it, pulling the ladder up from behind them

Well I have some great news because the DNC also want to reform election finances to remove private funding. You should vote for the DNC.

When the DNC stops supporting Israel completely, starts taking up actual progressive leftist stances like defunding the police, and stops doing the BS bipartisanship crap then sure. Until then I’ll vote third party for groups like PSL who I do volunteer work with. The closest political party that aligns with my ideal version of leadership.

The DNC at least recognize Gaza’s right to live, by allowing Trump in office the official stance became death or exodus according to Pete Hegseth.
If you care about Palestinian life or suffering at all then you need to promote the DNC.

How can you say they support Gaza’s right to live when they had 0 problems with what Mamdani was doing and refused to even acknowledge the genocide? They wouldn’t even join the UN in acknowledging it or arresting the fucker.
