    SuperPACs became a thing because they couldn’t even handle PACs.

    if we gave them the chance.

    Is the problem with your whole idea. They don’t have an incentive to change anything, and they certainly won’t pass a constitutional amendment without a significant amount of pressure from constituents.

    The whole point of voting Biden was to undo what Trump did. and ensure he was properly prosecuted for his crimes. He half assed both and then refused to step down for a primary despite being unpopular.

      They didn’t have any incentive to change anything in 2003, either, then. So why did they? And the DNC today is further left than those 1995 assholes were, too.

      The thing about democracy is that when we all work to create a better world then we all benefit from living in one. Greed only creates suffering, even for the people who hoard wealth.

        I mean the last election pretty clearly showed how greed from the democrats not wanting to upset the AIPAC cost them the election. But yea sure they’ll surely do the right thing next time, right?

        I don’t know what you’re smoking but sure seems like copium.

          Biden did not do nearly enough to stop Israel, and far more DNC voted to pass weapons sales to them than I am comfortable with, but he and the DNC as a whole were negotiating for lasting peace, even withholding large ordinances that Israel had already payed for, although hardly anybody believes that because of propaganda by Israel, China, and Russia who all favored Trump winning the election.

          That said, anybody who actually cared about a single palestinian life should have been out on the streets begging people to support Harris’ election as POTUS, because the alternative is the Trump Admin whose official stance is according to Department of War’s Pete Hegseth: Death or Exodus of every Palestinian.
