Had the democrat party NOT put dark corporate hands on the scales in primary races.

Sabotaging the ability of AOC/Bernie Sanders types across the board including letting folks like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to get primaied out by Bernie/AOC type, then it would have been a blue tsunami and not a dead even gridlock.

The democrats could have passed a resolution baning the dark money in primary races that they fight against in the general elections. They don't. They use that dark money to control who gets nominated.

True. One of the most important issues right now should be restricting the amount of money that people can donate to politicians.

@BohemianBabe I don't disagree, but this will have to include either an amendment or a court willing to overturn Citizens United.

@BohemianBabe You might want to check out that Oil Rich conservative Republican who is bank rolling several Republican candidates in Arizona if you are going to talk about people limiting funds to political candidates.
@justanothername Why? How does that go against my point?
