yeah but how long will that last - corporations may pay lip service, but if they are seen as being shoved around by the pollies they will jack up real quick - or lose business everywhere else. If you only want pollies as your clients, that is a good way to get there - IMO

We can prevent this, with VOTES. Every Democrat and D-leaning independent must vote a straight Democratic ticket, no matter where they're voting. Vote!

Jacketless Jim is just lucky there is such a thing as a Gohmert, or he'd be the dumbest man in Congress.

They won't seize power, at least not at this election. They'll gain it the usual way, by the American people giving it to them of their own free will. Might be the last time that happens, but apparently America wants it that way. What Sideshow Bob said was right.

So… were they twirling the ends of their comicly long, waxed mustaches while making these statements? Maybe while taking a break from tying Nell to the railroad tracks? Because this is some cartoon villain shit right here.

The Democratic party needs to buy a clue and go after rural voters with some targeted messaging, something like "A future for farmers" where they outline the hazards GOP governance poses to their way of life. One party is actively blocking efforts to combat climate change, change that isn't way off in the future, it's here already. We need to start talking about aridification and crop failures, training our fire on the mega corps and petro despots that don't care about the future of humanity, they only care about $$$ and power. Be frank about it, "The GOP has spent years convincing you to vote for them over culture war issues while they've paved the way for catastrophic weather chaos and the destruction of the environment we all rely on for our survival, and now they want to punish anybody that is trying to secure a future for farmers!"

And we're told that they're very popular and will probably win control of government!
