Lol.
"seek" being the operative word...but your learning disability be damned, explain the contradiction if one exists.

Again. "Conservatives."

Except for everyone involved in the OP.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is literally confusing the actions of a "bad guy" with "because campaign money"....as if the elimination of the latter will eliminate the former....confused indeed.

My argument is that the OP and its cited content are bad arguments, nonsense, and base emotional appeals.

Can I interest you in the US Constitution? You should really read it - it could change your life!
Chap wrote:In that document you will find that the Founding Fathers, who were of course writing at the dictation of Jesus Christ™, made provision for the Legislature to have the power to make weird things called 'laws'. Many of these 'laws' are, you will find, expressly designed to eliminate the freedom to do certain things. On the whole, the Legislature makes 'laws' when it thinks that the harm done to others by some individuals exploiting their freedom and liberty is great enough to justify eliminating that freedom.
Who'da thunk it? You learn something new every day on this board.

But hey, forget about the notion that her "bad guy" got elected to begin with and just blame it on the "special interests" that you don't agree with...because your scheme of special interests only exploit "good guys".
