Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that?
AndrewZabar@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoNope. America is OWNED by rich people. It’s a corporation and they make the laws so all the laws are to help them have more power.

I wouldn’t see it so black-and-whitely. I don’t think Tim Walz is owned by anyone and he is running for VP.

He’s beholden to the corporations controlled by the wealthiest 1%. Anyone who gets elected is already someone who “plays ball” because they don’t get to there otherwise.

Ha you don’t even get to run without people in line to donate to you. And since corp donates for both candidates it’s a win or win situation for them, which implies lose or lose for everyone.

It would be nice if corporate bribery were not allowed. Giving tens of millions to them - to their “campaign” - which they all funnel and launder into their pockets - is literal and unambiguous bribery. And yet it’s the reality of our nation.
