You'd have to explain that one. No clue what you are referring to.
Not you.

I was lying, I'm pretty sure it just means lobbying.

Up here in WA we have the salmon lobby and the pocket gopher lobby and boy do they cause hell.
Special Interest Lobbying. Seems innocent enough at first. Salmon fishing. Pocket Gopher. After a quarter of a millennia though of Govt churn, USA becoming the worlds largest super power, the basics of special interest lobbying can veeringly drift into a new way how of things get done. It's not clear the current machinations occurring at DC is what the constitution had in mind and instead is something that has evolved to become the norm.

It's not like this doesn't happen all the time in history. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I am not aware of a Govt that ever actually cared deeply about 80% to 90% of people. The whole Democracy is the least worst of all Govts concept. Politics is full of characters like Littlefinger from GoT.

They want to knock down our hydroelectric dams for some stupid fish.

I love this place but we have some really bad ideas lately.

Quick message to booter.

Both of these 'far lefties' Origen and Botten seem willing to attack liberals.

They have taken illiberal positions.
This post reeks of desperation. Your bullshit needs to improve if your goal is driving a wedge between mainstream liberalism and progressivism. I'm pretty good at that sort of thing if you ever want any pointers. I would literally love to see the DNC and GOP break apart.

If you'd ever actually taken time to read any leftist content, you'd realize that leftists reserve most of their vitriol for liberals, not maga chuds. They see arguing with maga chuds as a waste of time, mostly.

I think all pro-America politicians are wimps, but I also understand nobody will ever get elected without kissing the ring. They've been using the most effective propaganda in human history on us for decades.
