Wait, don't answer yet! Before you make the reflexive 21st century choice of the DC politician, stop and remember one thing:
Their money is only used to buy our votes.
Unless of course you are keeping it in your freezer. And look where that got your buddy.
We The People are angry at you.
We are angry at you because you are ignoring us, The People you are supposed to be representing. Instead you are representing the Corporations that are filling your coffers with money. Money you undoubtedly need......but you only need it for one reason.
To buy our votes.
Their money is only used to buy our votes.
But times are changing. You just can't fool Most of The People as easily as you once did. We are now going to demand something for our votes. We will not give them to you just because you buy enough advertising anymore. You are going to have to earn them by doing what WE want now. Not but doing what The Corporations want and assuming we will fall for your ads, or vote along party lines, or any of the other assumptions you have made.
So you have to make a choice, Democrats. Which is more valuable to you? Their money, or our votes? Do you want 10,000 dollars, or 10,000 votes?
If the answer is votes, you better start earning them. Because NO amount of money and advertising is going to convince us to put you back in office to keep screwing us.
Those days are over.
You can take their money and do what they want.....or you can take our votes and do what we want.
Which will it be?
You can't have both anymore, sorry.
