    Having your position on issues for sale isn’t illegal when you’re not in office, but it’s certainly not normal politics. It’s fuckin’ the weird for a politician to openly admit they’re for sale.

      So you mean to say that most politicians won’t change their positions based on their voting blocks demands?

      I hate Musk but I can’t see how any of this isnt standard fare in all of politics by definition.

        Changing policies based on what voters as a whole want is democracy. Changing based on what one voter with a lot of money demands is corruption.
