    But half the party relies on that money for their reelection. How will they win without it? It wouldn’t be “fair”.

    I feel like only banning it in primaries just lets them save up and über-bribe whoever makes it to the general.

      Exactly. They’ll just dump everything into the Republican campaigns.

        They already do that when their preferred candidate looses the primary.

      First of all, fuck off Zionist.

      Second off, this is more a matter of, “why are the Democrats letting AIPAC influence the primaries when the same donor is generally opposing our candidates?”

      And to actually address your comment of “they go low, we go high” - literally if you read the first paragraph of the article you’d see he was only referring to primaries. Just as a heads up, Republicans* don’t participate in Democratic primaries.

      *Except for Centrist Democrats, and especially sex offender Cuomo.

        It’s standard practice among dumb people trying to be clever by spoking their own wheels to vote in the primaries of the opposition
