Walking away from the left?

@LotheronPrime

the problem with walk away is that its recruiting for the right

I really wish there was a viable third party.

Justice Democrats 😂

The libertarians are a joke, so are the....

Yes

@Timcast I think the problem with that problem is the assumption that a party can't be reformed.

Parties have been reformed though.

If you look at the republicans before Roosevelt they were the progressives.

The american system makes a third party not viable

On the ground-level, the parties are being somewhat taken over.

at least, the republican party is.

But slowly switched to being the pro corporate pro upper class party.

There are more and more libertarian-minded people moving in.

Technically, the NGO would save more lives by working with smugglers because there would be no chance of missing a boat, and save even more lives again by actually paying the smugglers because the people most at risk of death can't afford to pay.

It's pretty clear the NGO should completely fund smugglers and transport people shore to shore.
How can't people see that?

Yeah, and the Democrats and Republicans are both just mouth pieces for different corporate overlords.

At the moment.

I'm not certain that's the truth.

For either side.

Maybe not for local governments, but for the federal government it does feel that way.

I don't think it's the parties that get bought out, but the politicians.

It's the equivalent of saying Youtube is a mouthpiece for Dollar Shave Club.

except instead of spicy videos, the people being bought are making law.

I see what you mean, but it's not the same thing.

Its more like saying youtube is a mouthpiece of google 😁

No, that would be more accurate.

When you have politicians on both sides submitting laws from special interests groups with little or no changes that what I mean by being mouth piece for corporate interests.

nah... parties are always pitching for donations...

That money is frequently going directly to the candidate, or to a PAC.

again not talking about money.

The money is the exchange for political favor.

Political donations should be 100% illegal

Entirely?

No they're not thinking for themselves, they allowing other corporate interests to simply supply them with their opinions.

btw.. does US reward the party from election turnout....

Yes entirely

I guess I don't follow, Dennafen. Why would that be the case?

What reason does the politician have to follow a corporation's perception of things rather than their own?

The only corporations that I can see that would have influence to that degree without question would be the media corporations.

Less thinking and more money involved
