So tired of this "we hate it but we have to do it" excuse. We had to have laws (DOMA, DADT, Aids travel ban) that belittled and humiliated people in the LGBT community but HRC said it was to protect them from something worse. Had to be done.
So now, in order to win, a candidate will have to have 12 SuperPACs and raise at least 1 billion dollars or else we won't get a Dem elected. The candidate doesn't like it and maybe, someday, she will try to change it.


Or...I can vote for a candidate that has kept a smooth, steady flow of donations, second only to HRC and the only candidate, R or D, that can say that 73% of their donations come from individual donors contributing $200 or less. A candidate that has never had a SuperPAC in his 30 year career. Has been against big corporations in politics for as long. A candidate that has had the largest attendance at their campaign events, on average, than any other canidiate, D or R, this election cycle.
