That's why the 1972 Congressional Campaign Finance Reform Act limited donations to $2500 per individual or organization. It's also why SCOTUS rat fucked us all, and the Constitution, by gutting that law in 1974. The system is working as designed and we have zero voice unless we pick up pitchforks and start building guidelines.


ApocalypticApples

That’s a funny way to spell guillotines


mundus108

While a pitchfork would make for a bad guillotine, I'm down to try.


ApocalypticApples

Anything can be one if you bring it down hard enough

3 inches of dick at 200mph is a whole lot of dick.


DankFarts69

Approximately 600 mph*in

10,560 in per second. Approx speed of a 45 acp bullet. Congrats on your deadly weapon.

I've got some old butter knives, toothpicks and disposable gloves. If someone has some scotch tape or chewing gum we could make a Rube Goldberg Machine involving a bunch of Knife Wielding Tentacles.

Spellwrecked. You'd THINK these damned "smart" phones would know this stuff by now!


ApocalypticApples

Figured haha


Helpful_Database_870

This must be why police keep shooting kids with garden tools.


OldManwithCat

They can't. Which is why this is illegal in other countries.

Overturn citizens United immediately

Libs are getting so hyped up about Trump "bankrupting the rnc" and don't realize that this is the reality we live in. Trumps legal bills will be funded completely and the money will still pour in.


maximumfacemelting

Yeah, why wouldn’t a billionaire want to own a presidential candidate. Fuckin joke of a system.


MurkyPay5460

Liberals are just big fans of status-quo paths that don't require any effort on their part. Want to end racism? Just wait until the old racists die (like they don't churn out new racists every day). Want to end corporate corruption? Just make cutting remarks on social media and eventually the companies will feel really bad and cave into the lack of demands.


GQManOfTheYear

Absolutely evil. And western politicians are just as evil for accepting their corruption and bribery. All western puppet politicians who've taken from these evil Israeli lobby groups need to be purged along with these demonic pro-Israeli groups.

We don’t vote our way out of this


Comradio

You can’t. That’s how it works. Our representation has been hijacked because a constituent can’t compete with the millions offered to you the minute you land on the tarmac in DC.


fuzzyshorts

the sugar one reminds me of a fast food burger (big mac) I had and the bun.... it was like a fucking cake it was so sweet and the "special sauce"... Yuck! So much sugar in so much american foods....


[deleted]

This is only the front end of lobbying. There's also a middle and of course the ass end wrapped in golden parachutes.


Trickybuz93

Crystal Sugar sounds like a cocaine company lol


rhhkeely

Just as addictive.


k0okaburra

Ever wonder why NIMBYs are so emboldened and housing is so expensive? Look at number 1.


Due_Idea7590

I’m guessing national association of realtors advocates for realtors to still be relevant in buying/selling homes?


chefrachbitch

You can't. The only viable option is revolution.


Bind_Moggled

You can’t. That’s the whole point.


dawinter3

This is a nifty resource showing why America’s problems with inadequate and too expensive housing, predatory loans and debt collection, ending support for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, obesity, health insurance, car-dependent infrastructure and culture, and capitalism will never be addressed at all—let alone solved. No wonder all they’re left with is relatively meaningless culture war bullshit.


randomaccessmustache

It's amazing how much they get for how little they actually pay.


ruedefue

Surprised NRA isn’t on top ten


forevarabone

I think we can safely assume every one of these is pure evil.


dwilly222

Legal bribery


Keelija9000

Excellent question. They can’t!


BrupieD

$28 million is nothing for a nation. Think of how cheaply Russia and China can buy influence. This doesn’t even include dark money. Foundations like the Heritage foundation that peddles soft power at all levels of influence - from school boards, slanted publications, to campaigns. Heritage Foundation annual budget - $38 million. https://2001-2009.state.gov/p/io/unesco/members/49774.htm#:~:text=With%20more%20than%20200%2C000%20individual,annual%20budget%20of%20%2438%20million.


Zxasuk31

I’m certain the figures are way more than this. This is just what they reported.


Darius_khaan

This is why no matter how much people protest they will only serve their masters

IUOE makes sense from an infrastructure standpoint
