This is what he’s quoting. Honestly as I sit here—no election in sight—Trump ads are nonstop, from Tubi to YouTube.

Meanwhile, some expect Democrats to fight a disinfo army with a fraction of the GOP’s resources, held to a standard Republicans won’t even pretend to follow.

I can’t even explain how much I hate this shit.

Democrats once again expecting to play by a different set of rules and still win, instead of holding both parties to the same standard.

I don’t understand how banning the use of super PACs by democratic candidates will get rid of Citizens United. All I see is that it will hamstring democratic candidates.

Stupid idea.

@MJ @TonyStark

And there are states like California and Alaska (and I think Louisiana?) that have “jungle” primaries where the top-2 PRIMARY vote-getters go onto the general election.

You’ve taken money away from one team, but not the other. You could end-up with 2 GOPers running against each other in the General Election, because the Dem came in 3rd.

@Tengrain @MJ @TonyStark Except they're clearly only talking about Democratic primaries.

@TonyStark @Tengrain @rupert So are we. And even if we weren’t, it’s a bad idea.

@MJ @TonyStark It's a perfect Bernie issue:
1) It has no chance of happening so he can push it forever
2) It's "self evidently right" so he can keep yelling at people who point out obvious problems
3) And he'll never have to resolve those obvious problems. Cause #1: it'll never happen.
4) Lather, rinse, repeat.
5) Please send another $27. Those lakefront houses don't buy themselves ...
