    What “core belief” do you think Democrats have? Because I’m pretty fucking certain I can find a bill they voted on which directly contradicts your statement.

    Is it Campaign Finance? They voted 45D + 6R in 1995 to enact Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act but it got filibustered until it passed in 2002 with 48 D + 11 R + 1 Ind. Then, the SCOTUS took it down in 2009 in a 5-4 vote. That was immediately followed by Speechnow org v. FEC (2010), which authorized the creation of Super PACs, and McCutcheon v. FEC (2014), which struck down other campaign finance restrictions.

    End Citizens United is a group that has received endorsements from Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Beto O’Rourke, and many other high profile democrats and is one of the largest grassroots funded committees out there.

    Have you ever even heard of H.R. 1 For The People Act? It was the very first act of the 118th Congress in 2019 after Democrats won the majority in the 2018 election, and had 217 co-sponsors, easily passing the house with 234–193 PARTY LINE votes and it was reintroduced AGAIN in 2021, but got filibustered by Republicans AGAIN.

    Why the fuck are you people so stupid?
