The Utah Republican and 2012 G.O.P. presidential nominee, 76, said he would step aside to make way for younger leaders and strongly suggested that the president and former president should, too.
You can say whatever you want about him, but one thing I'm fairly certain is that at the end of the day Mitt Romney cared about the average American. I'm not saying I agree with even half of his beliefs. But I believe his beliefs were focused on what he thought was best for the country and it's people. I'm also not saying he didn't attempt to make himself and those around him stupid rich, but that he wasn't going to do so by throwing everyone and everything out the window to obtain it. It's really a stark contrast to Trump. And you might think that's sad, but what's really sad is that it's not just Trump but nearly the entirety of that party now.
You're falling for the bullshit then. No man who cared about people would have helped found Bain Capital.
Seriosuly. Bain single handedly killed Toy R Us and 35,000 jobs. The chain was actually profitable, but then bain loaded it up with hundreds of millions of debt it used to buy it, parted the profitable bits out, then bankrupted it.
It's a pure vulture capital company, wrecking havoc and destroying lives to make Romney and men like him rich at the expense of millions.
Turbo fuck that guy.
Didn't romney champion the Citizens United bill which was basically like throwing a lit match into a pool of gasoline for enshittifying the political process
Not that the process was great before but no one who considers "corporations are people too" ever had an average american citizens best interests in heart
Corporations are people. They're groups of people working for a common goal. If those people don't have free speech, neither do other groups, like political parties for instance. You do not lose your free speech rights when you are in a group.
The real damage done by citizens united was equating money to speech.
Those individuals do have the right to free speech
But just because they come together as a collective it doesn't mean they get a second bigger voice. A company is not a person. At best its a collection of people as you said working together towards a common goal.
And yes the biggest problem coming from citizens united is that it further equated money to free speech/representation
Which is directly contributing to every individual's rights to representation rapidly eroding
But just because they come together as a collective it doesn't mean they get a second bigger voice.
In other words, the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances?
And yes the biggest problem coming from citizens united is that it further equated money to free speech/representation
Yeah far as I know there's no amendment for that
He cared more about Dressage Horses than the common man. He definitely didn't care about his dog.
