tactics of the people they claim to despise, see Brock eg, that was the day our party lost its moral authority.

So now we have the equivalent of the NRA dream of 'fighting gun violence by arming EVERYONE' It's called a free for all.

And this is why we MUST as Biden said in a moment of truth, remove the filthy money from our electoral system.

Because it is the MONEY that bought people like McCarthy and his gang of right wing operatives, passing themselves off as Representatives of the people.

When that money becomes as illegal as it should be, all the 'PUNDITS' and' OPERATIVES' and 'STRATEGISTS' and 'THINK TANKS' that flood our political system today, flying like moths to a flame, with zero interest in actual issues, who are there ONLY for the money, willing to say or do ANYTHING to get it, well, I try not to wish bad things on people, but I hope they all starve.

What the Dem Party should have done of course was to EXPOSE these corrupt, despicable tools, instead they decided to join them and to take some of that money themselves.
