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.

The use of dark money is currently protected by the Citizens United SCOTUS ruling. Any law they passed would be killed by the courts.

@RosaMarie the political parties have the prerogative to prohibit affiliation with candidates that take it and don't. The democrat party allows it in primary races.

@Alabamarednek So do the Republicans. Every add that doesn't end with a candidate's endorsement.
