Uhhh, I thought Democrats were for getting money out of politics. :3oops:Liberal groups outspent conservative ones in so-called “dark money” during the 2018 midterm election, for the first time since 2010.
A report from Issue One, a bipartisan advocacy group, shows that liberal groups spent over half of the $150 million of dark money in the latest election. Conservative groups spend a third of the figure, while nonpartisan groups spent just 15 percent.
Issue One CEO Nick Penniman said that the data showed that the problem of political groups that can spend unlimited money without disclosing their donors is a bipartisan problem.

If you have a problem with it maybe you should support campaign finance reform. Why should the Democrats handicap themselves?
I'm sure you lot would love it if the Dems kept falling on their swords. Enough of that. You fight dirty every single time. You deserve every last bit you get from now on. And since you always fight dirty, you don't have standing to whine about it.
:shrug:
So they don't really believe in their principles.
They do believe in it, but why should they handicap their own abilities when the Republicans wont follow the same rules.

I think I do have standing. Conservatives generally don't sign up for getting money out of politics; and it's really quite silly, since it isn't really possible. We consider it free speech.

Standing up for what's right?
No one has suggested getting all money out of politics. Why do you insist on building straw men?
They can't do that if they do not win elections.

Because they are either trolls or complete morons. You listen to Fox news telling you nothing but to hate the other side for long enough, you might as well if you didn't have the brain power to avoid the BS to begin withYou can show where democrats have advocated for not using all the legal tools at their disposal for elections?
And why is it so many people have a hard time arguing politics beyond "the other guys are bad"?
Believing in principles means doing what you consider right, even if others are doing something different. You cant have it both ways.
I don’t take issue with Democrats taking more dark money than Republicans. I have an issue with Democrats taking more money then speaking out their ass about how evil it is for Republicans to take money. More Democrats pushing do as I say not as I do bull****
They can in this case.
Dems do not take any dark money
Without winning elections they cannot affect change. They are working within the system to make changes.
