Doesn't matter how they raise their money right? Personally, I didn't like Citizens United and I want to know how campaigns are funded. Obviously you don't care, for obvious reasons. Criticizing how others raise money is eithe rvlaid when it comes to ALL candidates, not just repubs, or it isn't. What is hypocritical is to take on repubs over the issue while saying it's worng for Dems. Money influences politics, and ot say it doesn't is either willfull ignorance or naievete, or thinking it's a good idea.

I look at what candidates are doing now. And that comparison makes her look a world better than Pete or Biden when it comes to who is funding their campaign.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

She spent 7+ years taking big-donor contributions to allow her to elevate herself. It's selfish Skya Rhen Dec 2019 #25

Actually, first she became a bankruptcy expert, then she set up the CFPB BeyondGeography Dec 2019 #27

The point is she availed herself of fundraising opportunities when starting out and should not Demsrule86 Dec 2019 #31
