This truth is as old as time. If someone offers a person a reward of some sort, and to get that reward one must harm others, then it is no real reward. That person, expecting that reward, has now become the oppressor.

Biden's full WHCD closing:
"The defeated former president has made no secret of his attack on our democracy. He said he wants to be a dictator on day one, promised a ‘bloodbath’ when he loses again, and so much more. Eight years ago, you could have written it off as just Trump talk, but no longer.👇

I mean, it is understandable that people would have a strong reaction to a puppy murderer.
It just would be nice if people could have that kind of empathy for, I don't know - immigrant babies and children drowning/being caught in barbed wire and Black people being gunned down for being Black.

It IS! difficult to choose change.

How Citizens United cleared the way for the biggest political bribery scandal in Ohio history • Ohio Capital Journal
Next to gerrymandering, the biggest driver of dangerous and destructive political misrepresentation in Ohio is the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling allowing unbridled dark money pay-to-play corruption, which has now led to the biggest political bribery scandal in state history.

Ohio republicans are some of the most corrupt republicans. They overrode our state scotus to keep their gerrymandered maps! We need to get that voting rights act passed and then gerrymandering will be illegal. VOTE BLUE to give the government back to the people!
