Again. The DNC are campaigning for transparency. Not less money.

Captain, the goalpost is running away!
I’m consistently defending the statement that the Democrats (and the Republicans) DO NOT want to remove money from politics.
They may be arguing for more transparency, but they definitely are not asking for less lovely money. increase expenditure

Democrats will also fight to strengthen public financing with small-dollar matching for all federal candidates
In addition to private contributions, they want tax money too. Additional lovey money.
ban all private financing from federal elections.
Hang on. What about the dollar matching. You can’t have both. Also, private financing is free to supply lovely money at all other times.
and crack down on foreign nationals who try to influence elections.
“Crack down” is not defined. Foreign donations to foundations like the Clinton’s are unlikely to be affected.
We will keep super PACs wholly independent of campaigns and parties
But they will still exist to funnel all that lovely money.
Democrats will end “dark money” by requiring full disclosure of contributors and ban 501©(4) organizations from spending on elections.
“Light” lovely money will still be accepted.
Democrats will prohibit corporate PACs and lobbyists from donating to anyone they lobby.
But corporate PACs will still be able to give the DNC lovey money.
The DNC is not trying to reduce the money they are receiving.

No no. Politicans still want all that lovely money.
The dems put forward the proposal on page 48 to say that they want transparency, because that fucks over the Republicans more than them.

What makes you think they want to remove money from politics? The Dems made $1.5bn last election.

I’m assuming you have a similar amount of free time as me and are not able to fit in enough listens to become familiar.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 4 days ago:
Because if I listened to a minimum of 4 new albums a week then I wouldn’t have the time to repeat any.
It was applying your statistics to my habits.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 4 days ago:
I think the counter argument to self inducement is that I can really go off something that I hear too many times (usually on the radio). Even if the first listen wasn’t too bad.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 4 days ago:
This is true, but you should really give something a good few listens before you come to a conclusion. Good things can turn bad just as much as bad things turn good.

I don’t this works with all music.
The first few listens I thought it was garbage. But I decided it must be me who is wrong, not everyone else.

It took me 10 listens to get into Jimi Hendrix. You are consuming quantity but quality requires effort.

Well, technically Biden only authored the Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995, not the patriot act. But the proposals in his bill were recycled into the patriot act.

The one positive thing you could say about the bread products around him was that they were probably as edible now as they were on the day they were baked. Forged was a better term. Dwarf bread was made as a meal of last resort and also as a weapon
