This is why Bernie keeps pushing for Dems to regulate their own primaries and keep this dirty money out of primaries.
But good luck getting it done when all of party leadership takes the dirty money and don't want to lose it.
We need to face the hard fact that the vast majority of "household names" in the Dem party need replaced.
Oh, so this is why Democrats are just ok with Israel. If they speak up then they will most likely be replaced.
Democrats, Republicans, Hollywood, Google, HP, McDonalds
Yes it is the money but more so the effect. They will give so much money to your opponent that you can't win. We need campaign finance reform in order to get anything done. Big money holds this country hostage.
Campaign reform is necessary but it will never happen under Democrats or Republicans. The people benefiting from the bribes aren't going to turn off their own faucet.
AIPAC has already squashed dissenting members such as Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush from the Democratic party.
