The buying and selling of a democracy is the death of a democracy.

Billionaires and their Super PACs must not be able to buy Democratic Party primaries. If Democrats really believe in democracy and campaign finance reform, we must ban Super PACs in primaries. I stand with progressive reformers advocating for this change.

Well I think you should run even if you do have no real chance and might push the election and govt control back to the worst of the other two guys. I don’t care if people say you’re funded by another country.

As long as money is in our politics, this will never be a gov "for and by the people". So far it has always been a gov for and by money and the wealthy.

I pissed away so much money on candidates like Sanders, Marianne, Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard then got so burned by The Democratic Party that I haven't voted Blue since and probably never will again. I'll write somebody in if there's a Democrat unopposed. TWO RIGGED PRIMARIES.
