I'm tired of political grifting from Republicans. But, I'm tired of it from Democrats too. I get more and more emails from organizations supposedly concerned about issues I care about. And at the end of the email or survey, there's always a "how's about sending us $5 dollars" pitch.
🤔…How's about elected officials do their damn jobs, and stop begging for money? We elect them, pay them, and send them to Washington to vote to pass good legislature for the people--and yet what they seemingly do is fund raise.
If they actually focused on their jobs to write legislature to make things better for workers and regular people--they'd more than likely be re-elected!
Again, they get paid good--decent salaries, are afforded budgets for travel and have excellent health care… and yet, they are still begging for money. Enough. Of. This. Bullshit. I don't know what the damn "political action groups" are for other than further grifting. I thought that was why we voted. The citizenry has been patiently waiting for politicians to do the right things. And I know they see the hammer coming down, cause a lot of them are trying to git while the gittin's good. But there are others who can't resist the grifting until there's nothing left.
