    Because he’s not a Dem…

    Dirty money in politics ensures most “Dem” politicians in solid blue states that make it to a general, aren’t someone Dem voters want to vote for.

    The same people that fund Republicans fund these neoliberals primary so that the wealthy still win even when they “lose”.

      Dems tried multiple times to remove money in politics. Thats what they mean when they talk about citizens united. From 2002-2010 it was already done by the Dems with legislation they worked on since 1995.

      As long as we can still reliably keep out Republicans idc what color tie they wear.
