    Hence the entire new guard of the Democratic party not taking corporate PAC money, and the entire purpose of this post.

    Also, are we really still playing the “both sides” game in $CURRENTYEAR, where one side is openly fascist?

        And how are we going go change campaign finance laws until we elect politicians who don’t take corporate money?

        This isn’t a chicken and egg problem. There is a very clear starting point.

        But there still is a difference. Show me where the Democrats have someone like Bannon or Steve Miller or the demons that crafted Project 2025…or hell, even Donvict himself, who has already enriched himself to the tune of billions.

          Sure. I’ll admit there is no Steve Banon or Steven Miller or Dick Cheney.

          There is still AIPAC and other think tanks. Democrats just manage decay for the most part while getting a corporate donation.
