    Bernie Sanders has been saying for years that we need to get lobbyists out of politics, which is why he is so unpopular in Washington.

    • @markherring3513
      @markherring3513 Год назад

      No..he is unpopular because he's a rich guy with multiple houses that complains that rich people are the problem. THATS why hes unpopular. Plus he wants us to be a 3rd world country and wants to punish people for being successful. His how line of bull$hit is :"How DARE you be successful! That's not fair to someone that doesn't work. You need to give up 50% of your worth...its only fair."

      The politicians/lawmakers, would find a way around it. In democracy or autocracy there will be corruption. The more power is centralized, the more corruption. Sanders is an "Independent", until he wants to run for president. He becomes a "Democrat" when he sees that is where electoral votes are, but goes back to being independent when the election is over.

      If Trump supporters genuinely cared about accountability, they would not vote for this fraudster who has never been held to account. The “base” is both not sophisticated enough in their ability to judge character, nor do they have a nominal ethical standard to uphold. Knowingly being conned is fine with this gullible cult as long as he continues insulting leaders and upsetting norms. Rick Perry said it best in 2015: “Donald Trump is a cancer on the Republican Party”…and now we have to deal with the mortal threat of rampant metastases.

But rich and powerful people get to go short cut in most serious and outrageous unfair things. I would say a moral decayed. Even at church, there are elite members and there are just worshipers.

      When he or anyone else on national television tells everyone about the 14-minute 1942 USDA film *Hemp for Victory* and how it is the key to stopping climate change, then that person can be said to care about everything that matters, because everything that we are as a country is because of Cannabis Sativa which the film explains. We would have lost World War II without legal Cannabis, and the US government buried the film under decades of drug war lies to create this polluted nightmare that we are experiencing today. All of our plastic and paper and fuel and electricity can be derived from industrial hemp. This is the real reason why "Marijuana" was outlawed. It is not a dangerous drug. Cannabis Sativa, called "Marihuana" on the Special Tax Stamp that is shown 3 minutes into *Hemp for Victory,* built this country and virtually all human civilization across planet Earth. It made the ropes and sails on every ship that travelled to North America. It made the ropes on the ships and the boot laces and parachutes for US soldiers on D-Day.
      But because none of this was taught to any of us in school or even in college, we're still funding the US government's war against Americans to keep "Marihuana" illegal.
      There is an official .gov link to the video from the US National Archives. It became public in 1990. It is also on several RUclips channels. But unless anyone in national or social media will tell their millions of viewers and subscribers about it, generation after generation of Americans will continue to not know about any of this.

      @valoredramack9117 Год назад

      Corruption in government happens because American voters allow it to happen, you cannot achieve accountability when there are too many bad faith voters that elect corrupt leaders. Donald Trump is the most obvious con man in politics; he has been working in his own self-interest for his entire life and he admires foreign dictators. And yet millions of Americans still voted for Donald Trump despite the obvious fact that Trump only cares about making himself more rich and powerful. Marjorie Taylor Green is also another obvious liar and yet she was elected in congress by American voters Many Trump Supporters even admit that they would vote for Donald Trump no matter what he does or no matter what crime he commits; even Trump himself acknowledged that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and he would still not lose any votes. American government is corrupt not because of bad faith politicians, but because of the bad faith voters who elected them. Trump Supporters worship Trump as if he is some kind of honest messiah ordained by God, which is obviously the result of their severe cognitive dissonance as bad faith voters. If Americans actually wanted to fix the system and remove the power of lobbyists, then they would have elected Bernie Sanders as President, but they didn't.

      Incorrect. The people as a whole don't care. Managed to subdivide every interest group possible along every line possible so no one can ever get a collective action i.e. will of the people moving because the will of the people are in constant struggle with eachother. Democrat, Republican whoever and they know if they can put out enough little squabbles like the idiots human beings are we'll find one to build our little hills to die on. Individuals can be intelligent, but get enough people into a crowd and they become dumb panicky animals terrified of being ostracised by whatever little cloister they've decided to group themselves with or whatever exclusive cause who will never have the popular support to actually pressure any of the government systems. It doesn't help that most people you run into can't even tell you what the actual policy processes are for the people they are voting for.
      Vote for congressman/woman x or y. What is there actual stance and policy for what they are saying? Don't know but it sounds like something people agree with so vote for them. No research. No studies into actual policy think groups and research.
      Vote to save the environment? Don't look into the fact that the solar panel manufacturer is dumping millions of gallons of toxic chemicals into the water in their countries of manufacture that are absolutely god awful.
      Vote on gun regulation? Completely ignore that different places have different requirements. Hey you live in the sticks where your nearest neighbor might be 45 minutes away and same for the nearest law enforcement. Might want a gun if something goes bad. Or hey someone living in a more remote area where wildlife might actually be a concern? I'd probably want a gun handy just in case as I don't fancy my chances with something like a curious grizzly living in the area. vs Hey living in a city of 5-6 million people where the probability of some idiot whose had too much to drink or has a temperament problem will start shooting? Might want some heavier regulations. Or hey even a lot of folks in the NRA (National Rifle Association) believe that maybe people not deemed mentally culpable probably shouldn't have access to guns. So maybe everyone can agree if you can't be trusted to not live alone and pass a basic psyche eval that everyone can agree to and start with getting that passed into law. But nope just because everyones so obsessed with not giving ground to the other party/organization can't even agree to that.
      Basically I don't really blame the politicians and interest groups for grabbing everything they think they can get away with. This is supposed to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people. But the people don't care and are content to scream at eachother despite there being 300 million+ people vs how many corporate interest groups and politicians?

If there is no compromise we can't function as a country." The United States is here now. Foote also said that: "The civil war made us an 'is'. Before the civil war people said 'the United States are'."

I say getting out of control instead of "totally out of control" is because we are not quite at the level of so many other nations. Americans seem to have been TRAINED to give up on working for better government. But its an American's duty to do so, LEGALLY. It' has been so since 1776. The legal path might not "feel" as good, but it is the more effective and LASTING path. Not so much riots.

      The issue is that we cannot vote our way to fixing these problems. We have to do things like ignore the laws which have been purchased for the last 50 years by wealthy corporations and billionaires which hurt regular Americans but save the wealthy money. We have to strike. We have to grind the wheels of capital to a halt or we will be ignored. Look at what's going on in France right now.
