2. Yup" they want to hobble the party in purity, because attacking Ds is more important than Rs

They don't care about the fights progressive Dems fight in red states every day - often risking their very lives. Do they magically think that Repukes will stop passing laws denying women health care, or making lives more dangerous for transgender people if the Democrats stop accepting money from the 5%? Does attacking minority Dems magically stop the Repukes gerrymandering the hell out of the US in 2020?

No, someone recently said that 'money in elections' is starting to feel like the new 'ethics in gaming journalism' - and it just all fell into place. Gamergaters and Berniecrats - two pieces cut from the same cloth, a Venn diagram that forms a perfect circle.
