I'm not a JT fan but given the alternative, this is absolutely maddening. It's like they're trying to lose.

They’ve already lost. It is maddening, like a slow motion train wreck.

@toaster I understand your point, the irony is rich, but it not like Polievre and his fund raising is any different. Money and greed is what is causing the rot in politics.

Absolutely.

This is unrelated but I always find it neat seeing Mastodon comments on Lemmy posts.

No, but the result is different.

Plutocracy .... a government of the rich ... a system of government that is based on money and wealth

Many academics still argue that to date ... there has never been a true democracy in our world and there still isn't

The first step to making a positive change to all this is to stop referring to this system as a democracy .... because it isn't.

Wholeheartedly agree.

$1725? That's like half a month's rent! Must be quite the impressive strategy to charge that much. Too bad he isn't in a position of power to actually make it happen though.
