Respectfully, what are you hoping to get out of this post? The situation in the u.s. is the result of a shitty electoral democracy where the best networked, and therefore the best financed always buy the most electorate, and the older you are, the bigger your network of donors.
I think part of the point might be discussion of the topic? How it occurs and how to prevent it? That’s why I’m guessing they posted it. I’m assuming that’s what most of these “thoughts on” posts are about, though I think something like this should be mentioned in the sidebar.
I’ve been thinking about doing a “thoughts on thoughts on” post where I ask people what they think about this place and what they think it could be used for, but I always forget (plus it might sound kind of mean).

I appreciate your candor and calm response. TBH I’ve been noticing some low effort posts on this comm and I think I was frustrated.
