 An Investment in a Politician 05 27 2022

So an individual or group makes a large contribution to a Politician.

Isn't that contribution really like an investment to them?

It isn't something that already is, it is something they want it to be a certain way.

You wouldn't have to pay for something (someone) that already is.  Because your vote would have gotten you that.

So you have people promoting a candidate because they have made an investment in that candidate rather than...  (There was a strong point to go right here but that voice knocked it away from my mind and train of thought.)

It is more like something they bought that they don't want to lose money in.  Rather than something that is true.  A true being through and through.

Contrast that to, "I like what this person said, I like what they believe in, I want to vote for them."

In many cases that candidate isn't saying anything before the vote.

And then you have the blue collar league.  They are going to vote for whoever their employer tells them to vote for!  And again that employer made an investment in the Politician.

They are going to vote for whoever their employer tells them to because otherwise they will be biting the hand that feeds them.  And that is a no no.  Yeah for all that blue collar hard working promoted mentality they are really just a weak minded person who votes for the hand that feeds them?

And those employers are going to know who you voted for.  They will readily be able to tell that by your opinions on certain things.  By how you react to certain issues.  And just for the virtue of who or what you stick up for!  They will know who you voted for by what you stand up to!

That employer bought your living wage, on the cheap, didn't they!
