2 days agoYeah, even a real fucking primary would probably have helped.
I really hope it won’t have to come to physical conflict, because we won’t win that with a 12% deficit either.
Most of the far left want all money out of politics, know that corporations aren’t people, and that politicians spend way too much time raising money instead of legislating.
The problem is that the moderates are convinced that they need to spend the same amount as the right wing super pacs. Which Trump proved was probably unnecessary in 2016 (though he has the electoral college advantage that the left lacks).
Getting the money out would also get Wallstreet and aipac out too.
