Day 409:

Robber Barrons

Arnold Schwarzenegger says Republican donors should ‘starve’ the party until it shapes up

how can someone who was the gov. of one of the largest economies in the world be this naive?

Those donors are giving money because they are getting exactly what they want. Tax cuts, deregulation, the cover of chaos to do so many crimes….

Arnold stop being a useful idiot and allowing republican voters to think their party is not corrupt from top to bottom.

If you vote republican, if you are a republican, you are supporting the party of corruption, racism, bigotry, and greed. Their stance on climate change is murderous, their fiscal policy is pure corruption, and their social policy is racist to the core. The republican party is a complete loss on every front, and it was paid for by the people Arnold is too stupid to understand are the problem.

The democrats are only 80% gone, at least they still pay lip service to science and social issues…but pump a little more money into them and we could lose both parties

This midterm it is rather important who you vote for. Might I humbly suggest you try to vote for someone who will get money out of politics, who isn’t corrupted by PAC/Super PAC money, and someone who will take the threats of climate change realistically, someone who cares about ALL people, and someone who will do something about the rampant inequality in our economy. If you can’t find anyone in the race who will do that, might I suggest running yourself on that platform.
