    We won’t get what we need from politicians until a betrayal such as this comes with serious risk of being luigi’d.

      This is the truth.

      Politicians need to learn to fear repercussions from the people they are supposed to represent.

      They don’t fear the vote any longer because, consistently, the politicians who spend the most money win. They just need to promise billionaires enough ill-gotten profit and they believe they’ll win. They don’t need to care about us at all–unless we force them to care.
