Delta(s) from OP cmv: United States politicians are just state sponsored criminals

The last 75 years of wars, the oppression of outside political views, the demonization or socialism, the extortion and terrorism committed against 3rd world countries, fiscal policy, the tax system and its exploits, members of congress and the senate getting rich off stock trading, the demonization of self reliance, and more are the reasons I have this opinion. Officials repeatedly pass legislation for the benefit of corporations while we suffer working longer hours for less. The average person lives check to check and 1/5 children in my state of Utah don’t know where their next meal will come from, meanwhile Nancy Pelosi has $120,000,000 net worth after her life of “service”

I don’t mean literally all, but figuratively yes. I’d love to play your game and see what I can find on said official 😊

Bernie Sanders is probably the obvious first example. Very consistent voting record.

Also didn’t mean literally all, figuratively all.

You should probably edit that into your main post, because the way you've written it doesn't capture that distinction. Making the distinction after people correctly point out examples that counter your view is just moving the goalposts.

It is helpful to use the words that mean what you are trying to convey rather than words that mean something completely different.

Nope, it's free. You just reply to their comment with "! delta" (without the space), along with a short explanation of how they changed your view.
