It’s odd that more Dem politicians don’t run on anti-corruption. It’s the primary motivating factor for most of my voting, not least in downballot races. I know I’m not alone.
Lever Time Oct 16, 2025 JD Vance’s Supreme Court Plot Two new Supreme Court cases are designed to end campaign finance laws, legalize bribery, and create Citizens United 2.0. David Sirota Natalie Bettendorf “In their view the real problem in American politics is not egregious corruption, but instead overly strict anti-corruption laws. Sittenfeld’s case aims to weaken whatever’s still left of the federal bribery statute and it offers a novel new theory: His lawyers suggest that pay to play culture is now so pervasive that it should not even be considered a prosecutable crime.”
The idea that if a crime becomes widespread it should be made legal is pretty wild. I never heard conservatives use that argument to decriminalize drug use. It’s just a bizarre and insultingly stupid argument.
My letter to reps:
Politicians and the Supreme Court are trying to gaslight us with the stupid idea that corruption should be legal. But you’re never going to convince me that bribes and buying power is ok. Everyone I know, regardless of politics, hates all the corruption and wants it stopped!
Please feel free to copy or repurpose for your own letters to reps.
