Public funding, which used to be a mainstream Democratic position until Obama realized he can get more money by running an algorithmic nagging campaign that employ the same tactics boner pill ads and Nigerian scammers use, so now fuck that.
As long as college kids gonna keep giving those fuckers their drinking money this wouldn't change.
I think big donors vs. small donors is the wrong question, it should be private vs. public financing, and again, dems were all for the latter until they realized they can get a ton of money by hustling college kids to give them money they can't really spare.
I honestly think if you're all for public financing you need to stop donating to dems, because as long as they can keep up with GOP with small donations they ain't gonna do shit to move that stuff.
Remember how Obama backed off his promise once his data guys showed him how much money they can get online?
Or at the very fucking least, stop acting like a millionaire who takes money for people way poorer than him is a good thing we need to celebrate.
In order -
1. I'm willing to bet a lot that like a 5 mil for Beto is less meaningful than a lot of his small donations were to the people who gave it to him. But while we all accept people with more students debt that net worth giving money to millionaires, said millionaires actually tapping their immense wealth so apply to an amazingly lucrative job is beyond the pale.
2. https://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/20/us/politics/20obama.html
3. Yes , and I'm trying to get voters to like it less because I think it's counter productive.
Lastly, while it's true that no one is forcing people to donate, those campaigns operate very sophisticated campaigns designed to nag, guilt and scare people into donating, I don't think you can just hand wave that stuff with like "yeah, free choice". You're also ignoring the effect this stuff has.
p.s.
I know campaigns like Beto love to imply that Trump's gonna win if some poor college kid won't give their beer money, but I really really don't think that's true.

Increasing the size does not require a constitutional amendment, but does require congressional approval, according to Mayor Pete. Haven't fact checked him yet though.Good, good. Btw what is the process like for packing the Supreme Court?
Literally just a majority in both chambers.Good, good. Btw what is the process like for packing the Supreme Court?
Of course.if it comes down to a more progressive democrat prez with a 48-dem senate vs beto with a 52-dem senate, i'll take the latter
not that we'll have any non-ass-pulled numbers for months highlighting down ballot potential, of course
Assuming you aren't being sarcastic, Gillibrand went on record saying the Lewinsky affair should have been enough for Bill Clinton to resign.

Oh ok, didn't know if I was missing something else other than that. Thanks.She said Bill should have resigned due to his sex scandals
And Bill was like..."I disagree with her.
*excuse me while I use my status to quietly end her political ambition now*
Pelosi has said she isn't going to present it in the house so it should be fine.This Emergency Declaration legislation that the GOP wants to limit it in the future is a joke. They drafted it to make sure Trump gets his way on the wall, but make sure no democratic President can use it in the future. And of course Trump supports it, as long as it doesn't affect his emergency and only future dem presidents. So transparent and full of shit. I hope no dem sign onto this, unless there is language added in that fucks Trump.
Yeah, the Republicans just tried to give themselves a parachute out of voting against the constitution and Pelosi just shredded itPelosi has said she isn't going to present it in the house so it should be fine.
Actually, Trump is the one who killed it. He said he wouldn't sign it, and the plan crumbled.Yeah, the Republicans just tried to give themselves a parachute out of voting against the constitution and Pelosi just shredded it
they have to own this
I thought Pelosi said she wouldn't consider it first, but OF COURSE Trump had to get in there too, too funnyActually, Trump is the one who killed it. He said he wouldn't sign it, and the plan crumbled.
He's now auditioning for Fox News analyst.

A dispatch from my interview with @BetoORourke and covering two of his #iacaucus stops Thursday in southeast Iowa: https://qctimes.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/o-rourke-calls-for-unity-during-iowa-visit/article_970125f3-771b-5584-b8fb-735027fc375f.html …
And adding here a quintessential #iacaucus tale that didn't make the cut:@BetoORourke told me when checking out of his hotel this morning, the staff told him they heard there was a POTUS candidate in town. When he said "That's me!" they didn't believe him.

Great story. But also seriously, people don't know who Beto O'Rourke is. Not just in Iowa. @MorningConsult polling last week backs that. 30% of Dem voters nationally say they have not heard of O'Rourke--compare that to 21% for Harris, 11% for Warren, 2% for Biden, 2% for Sanders.

Where are you watching?Im 13 minutes into the Beto town hall in iowa and he hasnt misspoke or screwed up once. His delivery and memory is probably the best out of everyone right now.
EiCs hate him!My new trick will be never reading a single article they post again
That's what I've been doing for over a year. I subscribe to WaPo. I read The Guardian from the UK (a great free source), and won't hesitate to read something from the 'mainstream media!!!!' here in the states, even if I'll keep my eyes open for fuckery when I do.
This. It happens like 25% of the time to trip you up.I noticed this the other day, but it still seems to work most of the time.
Did you mean to type "BETO"?
Reminds me of Judge Ellis."Hey besides the virulent homophobia why are you guys so down on Tulsi" - a literal thread in OT.
