cmv: The vast majority of US politicians represent their constituents pretty closely and are not bought and paid for by
I do see the government as polarized, partisan, and dysfunctional. Don't get me wrong there. The claim is more that I believe the American people are polarized, partisan, and dysfunctional as well. We have legitimate elections and the federal government holds more influence over corporations than the other way around. I've heard some of the counter arguments of course. Corporate lobbying and the "revolving door" makes sense to me. Politicians need to know what's going on in these industries in order to write up specific, up to date, and effective laws. The donor class isn't in control of elections imo. The candidate with less money wins quite a bit in American politics. Donors who fund Democrats and Republicans? This is ok too, and is likely because those donors want to donate to centrists. Try me with your best points. The claim is genuine, but I'm open to being wrong.
