also the democrats care about environmentalism like the republicans care about guns, churches, etc. they'll give token support to causes like fining waiting staff for offering a plastic straw unsolicited, but they'll start clubbing heads if people start protesting an oil pipeline near them

Money is money. If you feel their coverage is compromised or their reporting is inadequate, that's a legitimate qualm no matter the reason. If the money isn't affecting the reporting, then like someone else said, I'd rather NPR have it than Koch. God, it even has a  "Heh."

Ramrod Hotshot posted:On NPR this morning I listened to Tom Carper talk about what we needed in an EPA administrator, and he literally could not say "environmental protection" without adding "economic growth" and I think even said something to the effect of, "We can't have the EPA destroy our auto industry" hi. https://www.kerrievelynharris.com/the-issues/ https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kerri bye.

Carper is garbage for political and personal reasons. He has a known temper with family and friends, a history of spouse abuse, and voted for Secretary Nielsen, despite being on the Homeland Security committee. I can only assume from that vote that his brain is worm food or he's actively malicious.

So if you ever wonder why they keep harping Hillfolk talking and corporation friendly talking points.

this is a mostly good piece about how Democrats are wrong to cling to the mythical moderate swing voter but towards the end, it veers off and makes a weird argument that Dem donors actually aren’t to the right of the base, without linking to the data or elaborating on how large donors are defined for this purpose https://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/trust-base-dccc-dscc-party-leaders-primaries
