It would help we outlanders very much if you guys would define "corrupt" for us. From what I can fathom, what appears to be being espoused is disagreement with policy. I like to live within simple, demonstrable definitions. For example a politician is corrupt if they legislate against prostitution, drug possession and usage and then are filmed smoking crack while with prostitutes. Or if they are found to have tendered contracts to friends without declaring their interests while stating the need to be above board.
Help us out here.
I see things slightly different than most. You just need to read my posts to know that.
The basic definition: having or showing a willingness to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain.
ALL elected officials swear an oath to do their best for the American People. That's their job. They can be partisan, but in the end they have to do what's best for the People.
An example: The second covid stimulus bill. There are things in both stimulus proposals that have nothing to do with covid.
If either side truly cared about the people, they'd remove the "pork" (I call it SHIT) and send a bill to the President on just helping out the people and getting the nation back on track. This kind of crap during times like this is "corrupt" (IMO). It's blatantly obvious that the Dems DO NOT want to pass anything so close to the election. If people are hurting (even if it's the Dems fault) they'll blame Trump. It's wrong and corrupt. When you play with peoples lives and livelihood for political gain, that's corrupt. Political gain = Personal gain. Because no one does anything for free.
I hope this helps explain why I said ALL politicians are corrupt.
