Not all wealthy people are total crap though. Then there are those that were not great in thier earning years and then try to patch it up with philanthropy later.

Philanthropy has always been a way for the wealthy to whitewash themselves of the evil that made them wealthy. It’s never designed to actually fix the things they broke and the lives they ruined. Look into it’s history from its start with the robber barons. Look how bill gates is giving millions in philanthropy and yet “somehow” grows still more wealthy and controls immense amounts of agricultural land. It’s another capitalist ploy.

And yet the American people vote for this. Hard to get IRV through. Hard to get election finance reform. Both parties complicit but MAGA is blatant about it.

Yes, both parties are complicit in the state of things. This is how ejection (don’t) work.
