I get where you're coming from, but idk man, it's not that hard to buy a democratic senator to vote the way you want. I think simply assuming that every corporation is pushing for Republicans, and is targeting Democrat voters is probably a slippery slope, but that said I get that in the US corpos tend to suck regardless of which side of the isle they have decided to purchase. It's a shame you didn't have any more concrete sources though, that kind of claim you made earlier would be fun to throw around if I were able to back it up lol. As it is, personally I doubt that the rising prices are due to anything beyond corporate greed alongside several external factors like bird flu and eggs in CO being required by law now to be cage free.
No one is targeting democratic voters specifically. It’s all voters.
When you say “buying a democrat” it leads me to believe that you’re interpreting the Democratic Party as the option on the left; it’s really just another right wing option. Leftism is not represented in the US at all.
Most corporations absolutely do prefer Republican policy; it allows them to get away with more bullshit.
What kind of “concrete” evidence do you need? There’s a history of everything I am saying. I don’t need to beat up Nick Siriani and steal a copy of the Eagles playbook to know the tush-push is in there. I see them run the play in most games they play.
Also, and on a different note, the “eggs in Denver” story is also kinda dumb and misleading, like a lot of the national news regarding things that happen in Colorado (let’s talk about the Venezuelan gangs in Aurora) and more specifically the Denver area. I live about 45 minutes north of Denver. When I go to the grocery store, there’s like 10 different egg options and the “cheap” eggs were like $6.50 about a month ago. The expensive eggs were $12 IIRC. 🤷♂️
