  • Captain, the goalpost is running away!

    Small Dollar donations mean individuals, like when a granny gives $15 to Bernie Sanders. Since that explicitly says matching with public financing that means said matching would have an upper limit allotted to every candidate.

    It says businesses and corporations won’t be allowed to donate to campaigns or collaborate with campaigns. That leaves a loophole where they can still endorse a candidate publicly, but taking that away would be a violation of freedom of speech.

    PACs will still exist in the sense that political advocates and lobbies exist, but they would be severely gutted by not being able to fund campaigns, which is their sole purpose since the Citizens United decision was first handed down.



  • The DNC haven’t had more than 48 senators in 10 years and shortly before that when they had 60, only with caucus, for about a month of congress in session they passed medicaid expansion to tens of millions of Americans. If it weren’t for the Independent Lieberman they would have passed singlepayer.

    You seem to really admire MAGAs for walking and talking unfathomable cruelty and destruction on basis of racial and theological supremacy.
