What? Words mean things?that's not what crony means. you do know that words have actual definitions, right?
crony: a close friend or companion.
Large donations, no matter what stripe worn, buys friends-
Companion? That is arguable, but, BOTH sides use cronies, i.e. lobbyist, to write regulations to restrict competition- that acolytes of the Duopoly Party complain about the other guy shows just how illiterate voters are- educated? by the same "system" BOTH subscribe to.
calling a simple donor a "close companion" seems a bit of a stretch.
you show me a real association, one where they worked together for a while or at least had a long history of donations, and it might be getting a little bit of a grey area.
