    Yet another reminder that these people are either morons or malcontents. Imagine not understanding that lobbying groups have zero political loyalty no matter how many favors you do for them.

      I mean, Joe knows that these hoes aren't loyal, that is why he helped Hunter get the bag ASAP, while he was still "only" a Senator and later when he was the VP. Maybe he was just like "I don't know man, lets just have icecream"

      I think they're just cynically playing the game; they know this, they can see these people donate to both conservative and liberal groups. I refuse to believe these careerists are dumb enough to think otherwise when the info is so obviously present.

      They're banking on the average voter falling for the tried and true liberal gambit of "well we would have tried this but we can't now because checks card donors and lobbyists that should have been with us exclusively aren't!"

      I used to think they were putting on a front but reading more into their private conversations or memoirs show that they really do have the same mindset as your average poster on neoliberal. The result of propping up failsons for years while spoon feeding them a daily dose of propaganda.
