Democrats spar over super PAC primary spending: 'Let's tie one hand around our backs'

[reACTIONary]

Point:

“The American people are disgusted with a corrupt political system that allows Elon Musk to spend $270 million to elect Donald Trump. They want change. We can make change,” the letter said. “If our opposition to Citizens United is going to be taken seriously, we must begin by cleaning our own house.”

Counter Point:

“The DNC can pass a resolution … a strongly worded resolution and what will be the impact.?!... Those same PACs will do whatever the hell they want to do. So what other ‘action’ can the DNC take that will produce the result suggested?!”

“Let’s tie one hand around our backs while let Republican spend unlimited money to define Democrats. Give me a break.... If y’all wanna pass legislation, then by all means do it. But these silly purity tests do nothing but harm our party’s chances of winning elections.”
