How the fuck is it even remotely legal for a politician to sign an NDA with a corporation to hide information from their constituents?

    An ignorant and unengaged electorate is just asking for it. When you’re rich they let you do it, you can do anything.

      I remind my friends all the time to pay attention. I plead with them to vote, but they just don’t care. They think everyone is corrupt and nothing matters. I’m the only one in my friends group that gives a damn. Honestly, I think this country is cooked. I don’t see any way other than pain to cure this apathy.

        That’s tragic. I’m appealing to people who believe far-right conspiracies (without realising the source is far-right) to be careful of what they consume, but they’re voting.

        A ton are corrupt sure but of course it doesn’t matter if people choose to do nothing.

        People take their innate power and just throw it in the trash. It’s disappointing.
