        That’s the problem. And I feel calling him out about it is valid considering only a select few on the left try to do anything regarding campaign finance reform

          I don’t disagree with you, but until laws are enacted, dems can’t fight with one arm tied behind their back. Gotta fill the war chest or it’s basically over.

            How about running on campaign finance reform and actually trying to do something about it within your party until it becomes a major philosophy of your party like they did with gay marriage?

        fundraising looks like on the left

        And a true reflection of who they represent, the big money people. Working class people got the opportunity to watch him on television

          I’m gonna hard disagree. I vote for the Democratic Party because they champion the values of most Americans. Do I wish Bernie or Elizabeth Warren had won the 2020 primary? Of course. Not all dems will fight as hard for the same issues.

          If you’re trying to contrast Biden’s campaign trail with Trump’s, just remember the guy is also busy being president. And Trump does a million rallies not because he loves the common man, but because otherwise people will be left to, I dunno, read his policies? The entertainment keeps the mob ignorant and sated.

            they champion the values of most Americans

            That must explain their Biden’s 38% approval rating or Congress’ 13% approval rating.

            OR 62% of Democrat voters have a 62% disapproval rating of Biden and an 87% disproval rating on Congress.
