[–] rolph 7mo ago ↗ ive always wondered how democracy functions for so long when you cant unelect officials that are tacitly corrupt.
[–] peacebeard 7mo ago ↗ Per the article:> Kim cited a 2023 survey of New Jersey voters where 84 percent agreed that state politicians are at least “a little” corruptThe options in the survey were:* Not at all corrupt * A little corrupt * Somewhat corrupt * Very corrupt * Not Sure/Don’t Know [Vol] * Refused [Vol]Honestly I don't find that particularly damning. Nobody's perfect.
