    Yeah, it always has been. We know. The legal framework of corporations and their ability to donate to campaigns is just not the actual problem here.

        Nihilism is when you think nothing has any meaning, not when you critique someone’s theory of action as delusional

          Criticism requires substance. One can be nihilistic without it being your central world view.

          You have nothing to lose writing your state level contact. You’ve already wasted significantly more time espousing defeatist propaganda.

            You have no idea what I have or have not done. How many letter writing campaigns I have participated, how many representatives I have contacted about what topics. Moralizing will get you nowhere with me.

            The reality remains that legal restraints on corporate funding of candidates is deck chairs on the Titanic and no appeals to the importance of Feng Shui on the psychology of the passenger is going to move that iceberg.
