Ken Martin, the chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party, said that as DNC chair, he would ensure the party does not accept contributions from billionaires that Biden was referencing while not swearing off wealthy donors entirely.

“Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of good billionaires out there that have been with Democrats, who share our values, and we will take their money,” Martin said. “But we’re not taking money from the bad billionaires.”

    You’re saying “it’s possible to not take funding from major donors and still win” snd your example is a guy who lost.

      No, what im saying is it’s possible to run a campaign that rivals ones funded by billionaires without stooping to that level. You’re trying to twist what I’m saying to justify government corruption and the reign of oligarchy. You’re wrong, and that should be good news to you.
