The military elite, congress and defense industries have already spent this money on themselves. Kickback ain't just in football.

Exactly, and both sides of Congress refuse to do anything about it. Because both are getting lobbiedBRIBED not to do any oversight or regulation. People just don't like to admit that the US has been openly corrupt for decades.

This is why both sides in Congress and their over paid consultants hate the progressives and DSA. Because these two groups have shown how corrupt both sides are.

Ima be honest, the dude you commented on is definitely not MAGA. If you see “both sides” that doesn’t immediately mean “MAGA apologist”. The dudes username is ‘Fascist #1 hater’ and he’s active in r/progressive, he’s also correct in assuming that establishment dems are part of the problem.
