I'll never understand how anyone spouting that kind of unqualified self-congratulation thinks it sounds like anything but an admission of corruption. The only people who should be happy to hear it are prospective donors that were wondering if it was worth approaching her with a bribe.
I feel you. It just... We pretend america is a democracy that... votes speak that ideas are held in the highest regard but. Instead the richest elements continue to cling to power and the media is complicit. They don't really dig into the lobbyists surrounding the politicians but they always stop to worship the funding numbers. Without going into what that money MEANS. It's so frustrating to watch the DNC pocket millions from the financial sector and nobody in washington wants to call out this flagrant breach of ethics and it happens every day on both sides of the aisle.
AOC did it the right way Ro Khanna did it the right way and they are demonized for it. Ya know at least as close to the right way as the current system allows public funding would be ideal but there needs to be a ban on PACs funded by for-profit interests.
Its a sad day when ethical funding of elections is considered "Far-Left"
Journalists killed in the US?
Market Daddy is working on it. Outsider candidates are coming...
