    The old guard are corrupt and they are paid by the same ultra wealthy donors that pay Republicans.

    I don’t think it’s actually possible to win national elections in this country post citizens united without the ultra wealthy donor class. I’d love to be wrong, but I’m pretty sure I’m not.

      Bernie’s campaign loved pointing out the average donation was $27. The issue in 2016 was media coverage for him that the Dems knowingly sabotaged iirc.
