It's really very simple:
On one side, there's integrity and convictions and serving the interests of the American people.
And on the other side, there's a handful of corporations and wealthy individuals who will give them money in exchange for protecting their privilege.
And the Democrats have chosen the money
As have the republicans. So now there are no political options for addressing the material concerns of the working class.
BOLD MOVE COTTON
Oh there are options. We just have to add a little checkbox beneath A or B ourselves. After all, revisions exist for a reason.
Hippity hoppity abolish private property
Swiggity swooty protect each civic duty
I'm sure that's part of it, but I also think there's a fair bit of rolling over to protect whatever power they get left with.
I'm sure we'll see lots of press releases expressing deep concern again.
