Ever hear the one about wrestling a pig in the mud?

Why are you avoiding the question?

There isn't a question in your previous comment.

And apparently you haven't heard the one.

You don't wrestle a pig in mud because it gets mud all over you and the pig likes it.

It will only drive up donorship to the Republicans and foster more lenient ~~bribery~~ donation policy from the Democrats going forward.

The Democrats need to actually submit themselves to overhauling campaign funding if they want to make any headway. But they want that money. They want it more than they want any of their alleged policy goals.

Because of citizens united, money decides election wins. So how do we win without donors?

This was the question that you are avoiding.

To overhaul campaign funding they need to win. For that to happen they need donors.

Also, just because a saying exists doesn’t make it right.
