    You and many of these other replies are acting like lobbying only happens one way and is the sole reason for shit like this. Lobbying works both ways. There was considerable campaigns ran against the corporate interests, too, in favor of pushing the new law forward.

    Then what is your solution short of executing these people?

    First of all, I said I find it hard to sympathize with people who vote against their best interest. If you took that as a suggestion of executing people you are out of your damn head and I would thank you not to put words in my fucking mouth.

    Second, the problem is the complete lack of critical thinking that leads to people being persuaded by the highest conflict of interest invested in keeping the status quo while you’re being fucked over. To start, we should be better funding the education system in this country instead of funding Israel to bomb the fuck out of Palestinians and shit.

      Clearly, not enough effective ones.

      The point is, you have to sympathize. That’s literally step one of changing anyone’s mind. If you cant pull that one off, you’ve already failed.

      The only alternative is the other extreme. If you can’t get people to vote differently, the only option you have left is to remove them entirely.

      To start, we should be better funding the education system.

      So are you blaming the people too uninformed to vote for their own interests, or not? Cuz this sounds like exactly the kind of thinking I’m trying to tell you to engage in instead of the “it’s their own fault, fuckem”-attitude you walked in with.
