    the trump / russia narrative is getting to like, infowars levels of stupidity. liberals / democrats need to grasp (read: create) any reason for his election that meets two qualifications:

    1. it can fit in a clickable headline
    2. it does not fault the influence of late capitalism on institutions, be they the state or media

    the "collusion" that people obsess over should be that between wall street and the oval office and the continued neglect the government shows for the general populace, with a constant plan to elect one of two who-gives-a-shit to keep the wheels of power spinning as they are

    all of this misguided rage on the center-left reminds me so much of the tea party and the republican voting against their own interests sort of narrative, blows my mind they all got so wrapped up in it

    yeah corruption exists imagine that, impeachment won't do a fucking thing about it

    • The bill aims to target corruption on both sides. I suggest you criticize the substance of the bill rather than using some throwaway statement.T-Dawg

    • Until an anti-corruption bill includes getting rid of lobbyist, I got no interest.BonSeff
    • Sections 201 to 212 of that bill are about lobbying reform and adding restrictions and prohibitions.T-Dawg
