Give all politicians who qualify to run a set amount. Set campaign limitations to a six week time period. Offer equal access for TV/radio ads for free as PSAs divided equally to qualified candidates.
Why don't politicians want to do this since it seems a no-brainer?
Many reasons here's a couple. They get to keep money they raise and don't use under some circumstances, so it's literally self enrichment. Plus perks like biz flying them to islands to pitch them.
And because money gives established politicians a giant edge.
That's why the guy AOC shoved out was such a shock, he was comfy oh so comfy in his established seat and she wore out shoes.
So I would bet you money tht she got flagged...as a sex worker because her name indicates she's a female and because of her writing on twitter, she probably got a lot of tips in a day with 'love you' or hearts.
So they nuked her and stole her money.
I know ppl lost thousands.
And when paypal did this to me, with similar language, no ability to appeal and a dark dept. that handles it that I was told I could not speak to directly in any way for REASONS
I only lost a penny bc I transfered money out all the time.
I have a VERY clear recollection of who I was as a child. I would have been devastated as a ten year old if my father used me in a lie. I would have understood the desire to get out of trouble, but it would have CRUSHED me.
He's a piece of shit.
Because they're going to be aware of it. And he knew that.
And actually here's the big difference because I've been thinking about WHY this bothers me so much.
It's that he basically blamed them. That's what's atrocious. My parents did involve us in fibs...like children's menu fibs. And we understood why. I'm sure most parents bend
So seriously and I'm asking this in good faith and so don't be dicks or snarky in the replies please.
But why DID so many Texans vote for Ted Cruz? Why did Beto lose?
Because Ted Cruz is an unlikeable motherfucker. Even his supporters seemed well aware of that fact.
So the main answer I'm hearing, which ofc makes total sense, is that people vote party. And as long as it's not a democrat/lib...they'll vote for them.
With a sprinkle of 'they also like that Ted Cruz pisses other people off'
