Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

MODERATORS
His sincerity has been lacking for awhile now. This kind of puts the final nail in. There is no reason in the world that would be okay that he approved this guy, other than he hit the wrong button by mistake.
He was always in big pharms pocket. He just did a good job at tricking people who didn't follow him closely because he makes himself very seen and vocal at rallies and protests that aren't against people who line his pockets.
That's not representing the people, that's representing the corporations that are bribing(?), extorting(?) him to vote that way.
So what you're telling me is, it's okay to sacrifice the rest of the country for your own state. Let's also know for a fact that pharma would pick up and leave if it was feasibly possible because it was cheaper, no matter how he votes.
So I understand you likely are against any universal healthcare in our country? Because of jobs?
There's always more healthcare staff needed everywhere, maybe if education and trainings for those jobs wasn't so expensive...
Not every person in New Jersey works for big pharma. There are other folks too, Booker should be representing all of them, not just the ones who pay him off.
How can you represent the interests of the people, and their needs, while also representing the interests of a corporation when their goals dont align?
Yes
Money really needs to get out of politics. It's foul how we have to play the game to judge the integrity of decisions.
For the people? Or for the payout?
Obnoxious government
Thank you for your sincere response
You're also assuming he did it for pharma. We don't know.
Representing the people is representing the people.
Representing the interests of the mega corps that is trying to extract labor from that populace while also overcharging for their product is not representing those people that perform the labor and but the product.
This is not complicated
They sometimes overlap.
They also often conflict.
You're acting like they are always in lockstep
