The only issue anyone should care about is campaign finance reform

[john goodman]

This election is a disgrace

Until real campaign finance reform is implemented nothing will ever change

Stop worrying about anything else and solely put your efforts toward this. Our government shouldn't be for sale brehs

I just read that Mitt Romney raised 106 million dollars in June

This is why we will never get real change in Washington. Corporations just pay for favorable policies.

100% public financing. We spoke about this on the podcast last night.

 

[john goodman]

If only occupy would focus on this instead of their vague flavor of the month

Most problems with our country can be traced back to our government being owned by people with different interests than the nation

my biggest issue is that anywhere else (lower levels of government), it's considered a bribe.

I agree. everytime the issue comes up, it gets swept back under the rug

 

[DonKnock]

Pretty clear that campaign finance was a major issue this last election cycle too.

Hillary pay for play
Trump pay for pee play
Bernie limiting his outreach by taking only small donations

A lot to reflect on that is being overlooked in all this Trump fuccery

Until I get reparations for slavery, I could care less what other issues are debated since they are ALL secondary to righting that wrong.​

Even if reparations was the lick...how you gonna get it if unless doners get behind somebody who is of the same mind? That will never happen as long as the RICH MINORITY voice matters infinitely more than the rest of the 99% of the country. Getting money out of politics opens the door for a serious discussion about reparations.

Why do you think THEY got rid of MLK before he got on his 'Poor People's Campaign'?
