    Until Citizens United is overturned and campaign finance is heavily restricted by Congress, another Democrat administration will simply ratchet themselves further to the right and serve the same oligarchs the Republicans do. Very little will change to improve the lives of ordinary people, and once again the Republicans will use that to take full control in the following cycle.

      No, the party runs their own primaries and they can regulate them however they want.

      The DNC and any state parties can get stricter on PACs, which would get a good candidate to the general. Where they wouldn’t be handcuffed by the restrictions in the primary.

      You don’t know what you’re talking about, which wouldn’t be a big deal if the misinformation you’re spreading wouldn’t result in lower voter turnout.
