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.

There is no democracy in the US to die. The US is an oligarchy. This tweet is gaslighting to protect the Democratic party’s reputation. They are a fully anti-democratic party and we know that as a fact.

Michael Bloomberg would like a word, as would that other billionaire contender for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination, who had virtually no impact. Or Kohn Connally, in the day. Money buying major elections is basically a canard.

That buying and selling would suggest that it's already dead, with accomplices in high places planning to keep it that way. It's been dead for a while by the looks of it, yet still available to the people any time they choose to use it with ideas that would actually change things

That's the whole point.

Why are you so soft on biden and constantly defending him and the corrupt democrats? Aren't you supposed to be challenging them instead of shepherding them into a corporatist environment?
