22. Rough funding

Jeffries political small individual contributions is around 38% while his large funding is around 62% who do you think he is listening to? Hakeem started by speaking like a Progressive and now, like Fetterman, his speech leans right. Again (why?) citizens united has caused this problem 1. speak like you support progressive stances in order to get elected, 2. get elected and swing right in order to gain financing for his reelection. I still remember the days when our politicians were looking for things that would help their constituents and now they sit by their phones waiting for big money doners to call and promise them large sums of money. Legal bribery is killing our Democratic structure and if people fear what trump is doing imagine what someone with a brain can do, I guess we will have to learn to speak russian?
