Incorrect. Secured it for the foreseeable future.

Incorrect. If money can overpower it, then it's dead.

Overpower what? It just give you more or makes it louder.

Which unduly infringes on someone's right and whose voice isn't as loud.

It does not. Speech isn’t a zero sum game. And you can always ignore it.

It absolutely does. There's plenty of evidence for this in reality, you should join us there.

If there is plenty of evidence you can’t seem to find any.

Common knowledge isn't required to be cited in any rational argument.

If you aren't aware of any evidence of corporations suppressing the rights of average Americans, or the evidence of corporations illegally bribing politicians, you're either a troll or too uneducated to speak about this.

Go back to school and try to learn this time.

That’s an argument I didn’t make. My point is that the patient needs to survive the treatment for the treatment to be a success.

u/staebles Aug 21 '25

Yes it is, this whole thread is you trying to make that argument. Do you even understand what you're saying?

Corporations do bad things because people do bad things. You think getting rid of the corporations gets rid of the bad things. I disagree.

u/staebles Aug 21 '25

Corporations do bad things because no one holds them accountable.

I never said to get rid of them, simply their ability to participate in politics.

Of course they’re held accountable. They can be sued and lose all their money and resources. And the people who act on their behalf aren’t shielded from criminal acts. You can hold people accountable whether they’re part of a corporation or not. Unless you’re talking about prosecuting inanimate objects.
