(10,497 posts)the idiocy and paranoia of the Right. While they both agree that we have an oligarchy, this guy is still worried about George Soros. Thom points out that Soros hasn't made a political donation since 2009, and this guy looks confused for a minute like that's not what he has been hearing. He finally says Soros has since he contributes to marijuana initiatives. Like that is really buying politicians!
The important take away is that the Right believes, albeit for different reasons, that we have a problem with our politicians being corrupted and controlled by the super wealthy. Knowing this, our fight for Publicly Funded Elections (PFE's) and getting the money out of politics should be able to gather the massive numbers of people necessary to pressure our politicans into supporting PFE's! We can add RW groups to our coalition of other groups that share the same root cause to their problems. Spread the word and let's make 2016 the most interesting and beneficial election ever!
