Again. Our government is not perfect. We should not give them a free pass. But it's still our government. Not the CCPs.

Why do you feel that the CCP is ok influencing our government?

I don't think anyone should be influencing our government, neither rich US citizens nor the CCP. I am simply stating that there is more in common between US billioners and CCP then between us and the blillioners. The country of their origin means nothing at all, they have the same interests and we shouldn't help either of them fight each other for complete domination of our media. If you can't get rid of all of them at the same time, better to keep them in balance of power so people can hear critisizm on both platforms of each other, instead of giving the single group all the power and united in destroying us.

I am not fighting you about having nobody influencing our government. I'm just saying we should be doing this in baby steps. Let's start by stopping the CCP, then work on our internal problems.
