Mini voter-fatigue rant (tldr at the end):
Opened my voter pamphlet to see Mr. Smith again. I would love nothing more than to believe his kind statements about focusing on “strengthening the middle class” and “Medicare for all”, but unfortunately some of his top campaign doners are Palantir, AIPAC, Triwest Healthcare Insurance, Microsoft, and Blue Origin. I mean, Palantir and AIPAC make some sense, given that he’s a ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, though I feel these campaign contributions are morally quite icky. He has made zero movement towards even introducing anything related to safeguarding health care, and I doubt his health insurance donors would be super jazzed about an unexpected move towards progress. And, I’m sorry, but how does taking endorsements and funding from American Oligarchs result in “strengthening the middle class”? You mean the middle class that straight up doesn’t exist anymore? Ugh, I’m so tired. Rant over.
tldr: I’m tired of corporate conservatives masquerading as progressive democrats.
