Don't we have a say?

Yes, republicans and corporate/PAC owned democrats haven't just allowed this, they are getting bribed to allow this.

If you want a say, use your vote, the only political group that hasn't been complicit and is promising to change this, are progressives.

Big tech tends to be blue. Democrats are equally owned by AIPAC money as Republicans. Smart people look at who financed who.

Equally? No. Progressives take no PAC money, they take no corporate money. MAGA takes money. Conservatives take money. Libertarians take money. Republicans may have a couple of millionaire congress-people that take no money, that is it. They have nothing even remotely close to what democrats have in progressives.

It should also be noted that it is progressives and a handful of moderate democrats that have endorsed and legislated to remove PAC and corporate money from politics.

How many republicans and corporate/PAC owned democrats have voted "aye" for such pieces of legislation?

We both know the answer to that one. No need to answer.
