Two Democrats sneaked in giving the magas the chance to legitimately say
well the other side are doing it too whilst ignoring they're doing it much, much more but fine stop them all from donating as very few or none are doing it with honourable intentions. I said after the brexit vote I would be happy if it brought about a change in our politics where everyone's vote counted and the lobbying money was banned but instead of that it's been doubled down on at the expense of pretty much everyone else and it's worse in America, I bet they long for the days of Clinton, Obama and the Bushes, halcyon days compared to what they have now.
