Reply to comment by ArkeryStarkery in Becca Balint cooperating with federal prosecutors as new allegations against Sam Bankman-Fried emerge by HappilyhiketheHump

Have you no scruples? So winning dirty and being beholden to special interests is Aok if it's your side doing it?

I used to think running a clean campaign and losing was superior, but then my candidates ran clean, got vote majorities, and still didn't make it into office, so I got realistic.

You didn't read all of my comment, though. I specifically said this was good because she's NOT beholden to these special interests. Because they're dumbasses who have no sway anywhere now.

Just cause they fucked up doesn't mean she wouldn't have held up her end of the bargain. She's a bought and paid for politician.

We're doing the same thing we usually do; we're talking past each other. I hear what you're saying; what I'm trying to say in response here is that your point doesn't actually contradict mine.

Curious. Which majority vote getter candidate (where the rules state the election is decided by 50+1) didn’t get seated into office?
