    Out of one side of their mouth they say get money out of politics, out of the other side they celebrate laundered money flowing into politics.

      You can want to get money out of politics, and at the same time recognize it’s necessary to have a chance of winning.

        Why is it necessary? The country is so polarized, it’s not like they’re trying to court new voters, people vote by party not the party politics. It’s not like they’re actually actively campaigning that’s costing billions of dollars.

          They are courting new voters.

          There are 7% of voters who are Independants who are undecided. In the right spots that will swing an election to a win.

            The voter outreach the DNC has voters conducting isnt the most persuasive. ‘Sit down shut up and do as you are told’ isn’t winning over anyone.

            If Harris loses it will again be the fault of shitty DNC politics not being able to defeat a carnival barker.
