Citizens United was upheld in a 5:4 voted by a conservative scotus in 2010, to overturn campaign finance laws written and passed by democrats in 1995 and 2002, and dems actually tried to put back in place some campaign finance regulations with H.R. 1 For The People Act.

In fact, they passed it twice in the house, only for it to get blocked in the senate by Republicans both times.

Thanks for the info!

I guess as a start, the DNC can and should run big money/dark money/bribe free primaries. But they refuse to run free and fair primaries because they only want their corporately anointed shills to make it to the general election. Changing how the primaries are done should be top of the list when we take over the DNC and replace the shills with progressives.

Which Primary in particular do you think was unfair?

The first Obama primary was the last real one

So you think the DNC fabricated 30 Million votes in 2016?
