    It always amazes me that politicians do not act in the interests/with the will of the people, only corporate and political interests. It shouldn’t surprise me, but it does.

      The only thing that amazes me about is how cheap it is to get a meeting with a presidential candidate. I’m not sure the going rate now, but it was around half a million dollars in 2016, and quite a few outlets reported on it. A measly 500k is nothing for most major corporations, and if it can get you a few minutes in private with a presidential candidate to demand a favor, there’s no better investment that you can make.

    If we look at the actions of the party in power over the last several decades, it becomes clear that it doesn’t matter who we elect. Both Democrats and Republicans, based on their actions when they’re in power, have the same policy on Israeli genocide.
