    The FTC has been CRUSHING IT under the current leaders by actually enforcing existing rules. I hope Kamala tells those donors to pound sand.

        Yeah, this is why we need campaign finance reform. Isn’t there another country that limits the duration of their campaigns? That would be a good place to start.

    Dollars to doughnuts they are both working to close the loop holes the 1% are abusing through both of their organizations to infinitely short the stock market. Fight on you radical monkeys. Fight on.

    Between this and her stance on Isreal Harris has excellent tools to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Please, Harris, fucking endorse popular positions… you’ll coast into the white house.

      I’m willing to bet they have more single issue Zionist voters to lose than single issue pro Palestinian votersthat will actually take the time to vote to win, not supporting Israel is her path to defeat, get out of your bubble.

          I’m not voting for either since I’m not from the USA.

          What I’m saying is that the Zionists are a bigger % of Democrat electors than the pro Palestinians electors that are waiting on that to decide to get out and vote for the Democrats.

          If saying she’ll stop selling weapons to Israel means she’ll lose more votes than she’ll gain, what would be the political advantage to saying it? Maybe that’s exactly what she wants to do once elected, right now the goal is to make sure she’s elected in the first place though!

          Look at the pro Israel vs pro Palestine age distribution and then look at the % of people that don’t vote by age, you’ll realize that making promises to age groups that never bothers voting won’t win elections (and the groups that don’t vote never did, there’s nothing new to it).

    Monied elites don’t like them, they’re doing something right. RTA. Sure enough, that’s why.
