It's pointless posturing. Thanks to people not turning out to vote in 2022, the Republicans control the House. They're not going to support this.
Kinda tired of this take. Corporations and the billionaires who control them have captured our democracy and they're not going to support this either. But sure, darn those hypothetical and inevitably too-leftist non-voters!
Corporations aren't suddenly going to stop being evil. You can sit around and blame them all you want, but that's not going to change anything.
If a plane falls out of the sky, do you go around blaming gravity? It's ultimately the cause, but doing so is pointless. Instead, you concentrate on the things that can be changed.
I think they want to get corporations out of government, not change the devil
