    That entire article is nauseating.

    A fucking group of psychopaths spending hundreds of millions of dollars in order to try to skew the elections so that they can more comfortably pursue their preferred pastimes of murdering Palestinian civilians, stealing their land and slurping up US taxpayer money.

    How does anyone even live like that? Seriously - that’s the thing I most don’t get. How could any human being be such a reprehensible piece of shit that they can actually get up in the morning and spend their day trying to manipulate an election because they don’t want the person who criticizes them for murdering civilians to win - they want to be able to murder civilians in peace? How do these people even live with themselves?

      A not insignificant, but small, percentage of humans are narcissist psychopaths. They hide it well enough to blend in day to day and continue to breed. They’re in it only for themselves. They’re drawn to power and therefore politics.

      I’m not about eugenics. But if that ever comes back into fashion, I think this is the trait we should breed out.

        i would go so far as to say that eliminating the influence of psychopaths on civilization is the single most important thing we need to do for the survival of our species - that if we don’t get all of these obviously profoundly mentally ill fucks out of their positions of power one way or another, nothing else we do is going to matter.

      Have you met humanity? We’re awful. We’re psychopaths and we’re only occasionally nice.

    Oh cool - Israel, a foreign state that’s currently working on a genocide are openly interfering with US domestic political operations, and noone seems to care enough to stop them.

    Any influence is legitimate influence if you can afford it.

    I support the squad, and feel that they are the only ones in Congress that are even close to representing me. Powerful AIPAC and corporate billionaire money doesn’t like them, and will use their money to silence anyone who challenges their power.
