Do corporations have control of the government?

There's no helping us now that the Republicans have gotten so weird.
Let us bow to our Walmart overlords.

Isn't that democracy? republicans gets more votes, consequently..more voice and say
Penny · 46-50, F
@inaccessible the issue is they are getting less votes
inaccessible · 51-55, M
@Penny
Then the system is broken or corrupt 🤷‍♂️
Penny · 46-50, F
@inaccessible i think it's rather the Republicans are getting weird and no one likes them anymore
inaccessible · 51-55, M
@Penny
If no one likes them, how did the took the majority of seats in November's election? A logical explanation is that they manipulated the results and that would be a fault in the systems. I don't know much anyway, just making an educated guess

@inaccessible I think that was before they got weird
Penny · 46-50, F
@inaccessible also thats prolly cause of all the boomers mainly being Republican but they are gonna start dying out

@Penny
Republicans will vanish in the near future, the human nature prefers those who endulge it with pleasures and desires (human nature), obviously the republicans being conservatives, don't give that and so eventually they'll decay and turn obsolete.

@Penny This is so dumb - wealthiest corporations are overwhelmingly tied to the left.

Walmart Republican? C'mon, learn about which you speak
Slade · 56-60, M
@inaccessible You are abysmally ignorant
Carla · 61-69, F
@Slade walmart donated more to the republican party than to the democratic party.
Money talks. Walmart speaks republican.
Slade · 56-60, M
@Carla They are almost as woke as Kohl's - prove it (and not to two bit school commitmenties, etc)
Penny · 46-50, F
@Slade thats funny i though Republicans were all for small business?
Slade · 56-60, M
@Penny they are. So why the screed about them controlling huge corporation and the government
Penny · 46-50, F
@Slade i wonder if they still are supporting small businesses since the heavy donations lol. not sure what you mean.
Slade · 56-60, M
@Penny the middle class contractors and businesses are hugely Republican leaning
Penny · 46-50, F
@Slade will they stay that way with Republicans seeming to want to take people's rights away? I mean, maybe for business reasons but what I'm seeing in general is bad for Republicans. not that im seeing much. lol

@inaccessible republicans repress voting, yet we keep voting them out
inaccessible · 51-55, M
@Slade
Really? Well, You have no clue what you're talking about.
Amylynne · 26-30, F
@inaccessible the manipulation, is from the right where they work to gerrymande districts to lessen the impact of of opposing votes
so say the us SUPREME COURT this very week
Slade · 56-60, M
@Amylynne hey, genius, gerrymandering is done at the state level and takes both parties to agree. You don't think a slug like Maxine Waters has a gerrymandered district to keep in power forever?

Start thinking and stop regurgitating your groovy gender studies prof

Oh? And how do they do that?
Amylynne · 26-30, F
@SladeN o it does NOT take "both parties" just the one in charge for most states
and personal attacks are Unattractive
Does MR Waters [i]have [/i]a gerrymandered district? or just speculating?
Facts,, verifiable ones are very attractive
Slade · 56-60, M
@inaccessible I can easily say I've rarely known anything more.

You don't just illustrate ignorance, you blast it through stadium's speakers
Slade · 56-60, M
@Amylynne it's voted in state legislatures. Are you saying the Dhimmicrats ignore the votes in every state?
Amylynne · 26-30, F
@Slade When one party controls the state's legislative bodies and governor's office, it is in a strong position to gerrymander district boundaries to advantage its side and to disadvantage its political opponents. Since 2010, detailed maps and high-speed computing have facilitated gerrymandering by political parties in the redistricting process, in order to gain control of state legislation and congressional representation and potentially to maintain that control over several decades, even against shifting political changes in a state's population
