- Weird how, in our representative republic, one of our major parties has decided a better strategy than listening to the public is to demand money and assistance from companies less those companies be forced to stop doing things the public would rather those companies not do.by etchalon

Pfft, did you buy it? No? Then it's not yours
That "representative republic" belongs to a handful of ultra-wealthy people. I expect the Founding Fathers, being almost all rich old white men, would have approved. The French know how to actually build a republic, this is their fifth attempt so they're getting pretty good at it. Maybe ask them to help with the next one.
by tialaramex - I really wish we could experience at least a single year where our representatives worked to cover the needs of citizens in a collaborative, non-partisan manner rather than focusing on corporate interests and political theatre filled with slander and misinformation.
