Troofs. Yea I'll hafta vote Democrat cause holy fuck look at what republican means right now(also for as long as I was voting age). And while I want to just throw my vote away and vote third party because fuck both parties.... I do live in somewhat important not necessarily decided state. (Iirc pa went Trump in 2016 but Biden in 2020).

I forget the term for it, but fuck that thing that makes political bribes legal in the US. Fuck gerrymandering. And most of all fuck this two party system where both parties are owned, fucking outright, by companies and oligarchs and foreign influences.

The term you're looking for is "lobbying".
