4. This is so great ...especially when you compare it to the new Trump commerical

It is so negative..its playing here in Iowa quite a bit.. it literally has people screaming at the screen.."he is my president",, and they look totally deranged..

5. Fantastic!

No wonder the other contenders for the nomination are opposed to PACs. They prefer their competition to be hamstrung and crippled and muted. It's easier to attack and smear someone when there aren't advocates who'll "fight back" on his behalf.

I'm all in favor of a level playing field. Rules or allowances that benefit one, should benefit all.

All I'm saying is that it simply makes no sense for any candidate to intentionally tie their hands behind their own back simply for vanity purposes or to have some sort of "bragging rights" when they lose. Winning is everything!

9. Super PACS are notorious funnels for dark money

Not taking money from these sources is a matter of principle, not vanity.

I prefer my candidates with principles.

[highplainsdem]

14. You're thinking of 501(c) groups. Super PACs have to disclose donations.

And Biden has principles.

If you don't think he does because of that super PAC, do you feel the same way about Obama?

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. Aren't Super PACS less regulated than regular PACS ?

With looser rules on disclosure, donation caps, etc.?

[highplainsdem]

19. Your post was about dark money.

34. From your link:

501(c) "dark money" groups are distinct from super PACs.[31] While both types of entity can raise and spend unlimited sums of money, super PACs "must disclose their donors," while 501(c) groups "must not have politics as their primary purpose but don't have to disclose who gives them money."[31] However, a single individual or group can create both types of entity and combine their powers, making it difficult to trace the original source of funds.[31][32] ProPublica explains: "Say some like-minded people form both a Super-PAC and a nonprofit 501(c)(4). Corporations and individuals could then donate as much as they want to the nonprofit, which isn't required to publicly disclose funders. The nonprofit could then donate as much as it wanted to the Super-PAC, which lists the nonprofit's donation but not the original contributors."[31] In at least one high-profile case, a donor to a super PAC kept his name hidden by using an LLC formed for the purpose of hiding their personal name.[33] One super PAC, that originally listed a $250,000 donation from an LLC that no one could find, led to a subsequent filing where the previously "secret donors" were revealed.[34]

This is what I was talking about, and is something Rudy's henchmen Igor and Lev were engaged in, likely using money from Firtash and the Russian mob.

Democrats shouldn't play Republican games, they should expose and fight them.

39. There is that old saying.

Never take a knife to a gun fight. Lets fix the dark money problem after we loose. In the mean time lets win so we can fix the problem.

16. I prefer to have a candidate that wins. Level playing field and all that.

I prefer to have a candidate that wins. Level playing field and all that.

I also prefer a politician who's willing to find common ground and seek compromise as long as it means that SOME progress is being made. Progress. Even incremental is still progress.

There are many politicians (and their supporters) who take a bizarre sense of pride in a "no compromise" philosophy (as if it's a bad thing) and who believe that NO LOAF is better than finding common ground and coming home with half-a-loaf.

Not taking money from these sources is a matter of principle, not vanity.

Yes, it's vanity for someone to intentionally choose to lose (or to come home with nothing). As if "look how pure I am" is any sort of consolation for "we lost" or "I refused to make a deal so therefore we get nothing".

All I'm saying is that candidates who choose to cripple themselves (and those who support crippled campaigns) pretty much get what they deserve. If that's what they want to do, let them. The candidate and campaign that I support will be one who knows how to win and who doesn't give an unnecessary advantage to the competition for vanity or "purity" reasons. Winning is everything.

20. Excellent points! Thx

[Mr.Bill]

29. As Vince Lombardi once said,

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

35. I don't have any interest

in supporting candidates who point fingers at others and accuse them of not being pure enough when it comes to fundraising.

Often, a little research will show that they are not as pure as they would like others to believe.

[NurseJackie]

36. A little research...

yes indeed! Thank you!

[Demsrule86]

46. Spot on as always.

[Thekaspervote]

17. If EW were to become the nominee she will be taking money from big corps and pacs

That is unless she’s going to refuse financial help from the DNC, which no candidate could afford to do.

Where do you think the DNC gets all that money?!

[comradebillyboy]

21. Isn't Our Revolution Bernie's very own dark money PAC?

[NurseJackie]

25. 👍

I've heard that before. I believe you're right.

[OldRed2450]

42. It's not any different than Our Revolution.

6. I thought Twitter banned political ads? Nt

the full voice. Gave me chills and tears.

10. Inspirational ad.

I like it!

[Baked Potato]

12. Very inspiring!

I like it! Good messaging!

Thank you, Skya!

22. "We can do anything we set our minds to"...

Except for; Medicare for All.

[Skya Rhen]

23. He's not delusional.

[DCofVA]

24. So, you're saying he's a liar.

[Skya Rhen]

30. Non-delusional people don't set their minds on unrealistic things - Biden is realistic, not a liar.

[George II]

32. The thing is that we have to set our minds to do it, we haven't (and won't).

[wasupaloopa]

26. If Kamala Harris drops out I will vote for Biden. Both Bernie and Warren are way over complicating

the issues with their "plans" that are just made up shit that they are forced to come up with an explanation for by people who use critical thinking skills.

[TidalWave46]

49. I might be voting for Warren.

Yet I agree with just about every word of your post.

[Bayard]

27. That's our next President!

Love it!

[yellowwoodII]

28. Sorry

I don't see what specifically impresses people about this. I'll vote for Biden if he gets the nomination, but I'm not enthusiastic about it.

[theglammistress]

33. Keep seeing posts like this

How can any Dem not be excited to vote in the next election - enthusiastically - and send Trump packing?!

I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Biden or any of the fine Dems running and I can't wait to do so. Adios Trump!

I saw this tweet the other day and watched the video. It pumped me up and I felt like I could run through a brick wall. No lie.

[OldRed2450]

43. I feel about E.Warren

what you feel about Biden but I will do whatever I can to help her win if she is the nominee

[George II]

31. Very nice.

[betsuni]

37. The people who were so sure PAC money ads would go negative against other primary

candidates can relax. Is Joe Biden all yucky and corrupt now because of PAC money? This is what all the fuss is about? We're supposed to be enraged and frightened by paid speeches and super pacs because of their supernatural corrupting powers? Really?

[MustLoveBeagles]

38. K&R

This is a great add.

This is one of the replies. I love this cool picture of Joe.

41. That he is

Two thumbs up for Snoopy and Woodstock.

[Hekate]

44. KnR!

[Scurrilous]

45. Nice!

[Tarheel_Dem]

47. "This is the United States of America"! I trust Joe to put us back on an even keel with regard to..

foreign policy. We've turned former allies into enemies, and embraced thugs & dictators. I mean, WTH? Excellent ad.

[TidalWave46]

48. Excellent ad. NT
