    From this article: https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/11/poli...bloomberg-donation-house-democrats/index.html

    "Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg will donate $10 million to support Democratic House lawmakers who are facing Republican attacks for supporting President Donald Trump's impeachment, his spokesman Jason Schechter told CNN on Wednesday."

    "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi welcomed Bloomberg's donation in a statement to CNN on Wednesday. 'In 2018, Mayor Bloomberg was a critical ally in helping House Democrats regain the Majority,' said Pelosi, a California Democrat. 'Now, the stakes are even higher as we work to make health care more affordable by reducing the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs, increase wages and root out corruption. We welcome and thank Mayor Bloomberg for his support,' she said."

    "The donation comes as House Democrats move forward with articles of impeachment against Trump for his dealings with Ukraine, with the party's leadership charging the President with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. While Democrats work to move their articles through the House, Republicans are targeting Democrats in districts where Trump is more popular."

    From 18 U.S. Code § 201.

    "(b)Whoever—
    (1)directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises anything of value to any public official or person who has been selected to be a public official, or offers or promises any public official or any person who has been selected to be a public official to give anything of value to any other person or entity, with intent—
    (A)to influence any official act;..."

    "...shall be fined under this title or not more than three times the monetary equivalent of the thing of value, whichever is greater, or imprisoned for not more than fifteen years, or both, and may be disqualified from holding any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States."

    He's a fucking piece of shit, people like him, Whoros, and Feyzos are why some folks in this country want to eat the rich. All lobbying and quid pro quo needs to be ripped the fuck out of government.

    What Bloomberg does should NOT matter. How much he gives to his fluffers and cuckolds should have NO effect on conservative voter turnout. The ONLY thing conservatives need to be worried about in cases like this is maximizing their voter turn out.

    Well, yes and no. Voter turnout means little when elected politicians become turncoats for money and we all know money is the root of all sin, for the most part. Humans are weak and most of them will do anything for money. Just something to think about. And they are actively turning politicians and paying people to vote more or less. That doesn’t include absentee votes, illegal votes, people that are dead voting and so forth. We got to get a handle on this. And truth be told, we as citizens of this fair country should be demanding that all money be taken out of politics, after all that is the root of the problem. Seriously, we should be demanding these people step down, take no salary, take no benefits and have term limits, demanding it, armed if necessary. Why? Because that’s the only way it will ever change. None of them are going to willingly find character all of a sudden and just take themselves off of the gov tit. That will never happen. it’s too late for that. People can scream we can vote change all they want, won’t ever happen until we get money out of politics. THAT IS WHAT HAS RUINED IT ALL AND ALLOWED THIS CORRUPTION TO CONTINUE. Until people wake up and make a change, it will only get worse except not too long from now, everyone will literally be slaves and you won’t have any tools to demand the change. WE HAVE LET IT GO ON FAR TOO LONG AND ITS TIME FOR IT TO STOP. Change my mind!

    Your points are valid EXCEPT for the fact that lack of conservative turnout has been one of the largest, if not the largest cause for republican loses. Democrats have been buying votes for a long time and that number is not going to increase dramatically because there are not that many new votes to buy. Yep, politicians are corrupt. How do we effect that? Go vote in large enough numbers to actually have an effect. Most of the ills you mentioned can be changed by voter turn out. “All it takes is for a good man to do nothing.” The things that turn out cannot fix are only solved by force.
