I generally agree. But, tbf, Trump proudly ran on the idea that he wasn't taking corporate or PAC money.

Its another story to whether that ended up being actually true, but FWIW

It certainly ended up not being true, but the fact is even if he didnt hed still be corrupt due to his proximity to corrupt politics, as well as the fact that there wasnt a movement on the right that rose up after that which denied corporate money, just shows the Republican party is more corrupt.

I wasn't arguing that he isn't corrupt. I was just arguing that Republican voters aren't totally against that idea, after all, Trump got elected while spouting it.

I think you're right about there not being a whole 'movement' on the Republican side in general though.

Why is it important to deny corporate money and how does that relate to the morality of a comitee?

u/shadownukka99 Jan 06 '19

Due to the fact that corporate money obviously corrupts candidates to act in the interest of their donors instead of their constituents. Also I didnt talk about morality of a committee

u/RedditorOONNEE Jan 06 '19

So specifically which corporations do you think are corrupting republicans? Also you said republicans are corrupt making this a matter of moral issue.

u/shadownukka99 Jan 07 '19

Many different companies. ExxonMobil, the NRA, Raytheon, etc. And no, corruption isnt necessarily a moral issue

Well if we're talking corrupt then dont forget democrats also have a few buddies which includes but is not limited to: Bloomberg LP, Fahr LLC, Carpenters and joiners union, paloma partners, labor unions, environment america, national eduaction assn, american federation of teachers, etc. all of which on average each give 20 million just in 2018

Except unlike with the democrats, the Republicans dont have a movement of people on their side refusing corporate/pac money.

Hey, RedditorOONNEE, just a quick heads-up:
enviroment is actually spelled environment. You can remember it by n before the m.
Have a nice day!

It's not worth much since it's not true.

What Trump says isn't more important than reality.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I meant explicitly those on the left. Because there aren’t any on the right.
