But your political influence is much greater with money

The popular vote is for welfare clones

I didn't violate any comment guidelines, which one did I violate?

I think I added to the conversation and this is a also a reality I live in. Kickback and relax, emphasis on kickback, is way more effective in creating favorable political situations for me and everyone I know, than a popular vote. Some jurisdictions formalize it with synonyms, others don't. Do I have to write massive disclaimers and sources for accepted reality just to avoid being shadowbanned?

But you didn't say that. Your comment was unsubstantive (like many of your previous ones) and inflammatory. I don't know exactly what you meant by "welfare clones" but it does give the suspicion of incivility.
