Wondering why Kamala Harris keeps saying we should have the “most lethal” military? She’s the leading recipient of defense industry campaign contributions this cycle.

The current Defense Secretary was on the Raytheon board. They’re openly campaigning for every vote but yours.

    I disagree.

    Bernie and the Justice Democrats are failures and are sellouts only acting like they are for the working class.

    Once people find that out, they decide to join and support third parties.

    The duopoly will not help the working class; they are bought and paid for by the owner-class.

      Yeah, money doesn’t override free will, only violence can sometimes do that. Choice always still remains though. Like, 200 years ago you could have a slave. They were bought and paid for, right? But they could still run away.

      Being “bought and paid for” is really completely meaningless when it comes to living things, only inanimate objects really have to obey 100% of the time. That’s just common sense.

      I do agree with the need to demand, though. Very important.
