    Nope, that’s just lobbyist doing what they do. They can do it to any candidate even progressives like Fetterman and Sinema.

    This will not change until Citizens United is undone. If leftists don’t factor this into their strategy then they will continue to lose nation wide.

    There are so many ways the billionaire class can influence politicians: blackmail, bribery, threats and there will always be people trying to influence politicians. Pretending this is something the Democratic Party is colluding to is disingenuous.

      There were 10 years of Democrats occupying the White House where they could have tried to overturn citizens united, there has not been a single attempt. Democrats do not want to overturn citizens united because they benefit so much from it
