Yes, all elections will be held on pornhub. We want the candidates to be easy
on the eyes.

If you don’t reign in lobbyists citizen votes become less and less value and we
get the best government money can buy. If they can’t come to compromises then
maybe that can’t get bills pass period…. Not the worst thing to happen in my
mind. It’s really pointless to argue this since neither party is going to
change the status quo, you know because of that power thing. Things will get a
lot worse before they get better and that might takes 100 years or more, longer
if people don’t pay attention to history and look at what worked well and what
didn’t But hey with common core they aren’t going to let the teachers go in to
stuff like that…. They want us all useful idiots and not have critical thinking
skills.

Lobbying….
It’s a tough one, and there are good arguments both ways. Politicians are
absolutely not experts on much of anything (other then running for election).
As such they need someone to tell them what they need to be doing. In an
ideal world the citizens with expertise in the subjects would be the ones doing
that - but that is not going to happen. The experts in any given field
certainly don’t have the time or inclination to babysit the politicians.
The other bizarre part of politics in Congress now is that it’s so polarized
that the R’s and D’s often won’t even talk to each other. The lobbyists have
become the middleman. I have personally seen lobbyists with a phone in each
ear with one the D committee staffer and the other the R staffer and he is
relaying positions and trying to negotiate compromises. It’s completely
ridiculous, but it’s the way DC is working these days.
If you ban lobbyist I think you are going to get even worse legislation, and
probably even more polarization.

Term limits and the ban on lobbying have to go hand in hand, without that
former politicians just become lobbyists, kind of like how FCC commissioners do
now….. They have laws for people like lowly contract negotiators in the Navy
that forbids them from dealing with any companies they negotiated contracts
with for 10 years after leaving service.

Another big issue is lobbying. I'm pretty much of the opinion that should be
outlawed, at least in the current form (which is basically bribery).

How brainwashed do they need to be to want the covid IV treatment to try and
save their lives while denying they have covid? It really makes me sad how
easily these people can be manipulated.
Â
Pretty much all fox "news" hosts are fully vaccinated yet they make their
viewers question the vaccine. Trump is vaxxed and boosted and he has been booed
on stage when he said that.
Â
I would love to be able to vote for some GOP members but they keep proving to
me they're so far off the deep end, I don't see how I possibly could. I'm all
for moderate politicians and so far, Biden has been fairly moderate and not
pandering too much to the far left. And I wish GOP members would stop pandering
to the far right beliefs that are killing people with covid and causing them to
storm the capitol because they think the election was stolen. Obviously, it was
not. I'm firmly against any politician that shows they're anti-lgbtq. It's 2022
so it's time to let people love who they love without hating on them.
Â
Republicans need to do a better job standing up to the nut jobs in their party
like trump, Madison cawthorn, Marjorie Taylor Green, and some other crazy lady
who dropped out of highschool. All they do is spew hate and don't actually
legislate.

Anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, covid hoax believers are all ignorant to actual data
unfortunately. They believe science is fake, rigged, and that somehow their
favorite far right TV personalities or podcast hosts are smarter than Doctors
and Scientists.
Â
Greenie here and I know more than a few people who have had Covid 2-3 times and
they screamed the last 2 years that they wouldn't get Covid because they had
natural immunity. How'd that turn out for them?!?! Did they admit they were
wrong? Of course not because they'd rather dig their heels in and be wrong 10x
worse than admit fault and do the right thing.
