SuperPACs, big money donations...yeah, I know, the originalists on the Supreme Court who treat the Constitution like a shopping list somehow managed to find "money equals speech" in the First Amendment.
Right now, AIPAC is running attack ads against a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the Pennsylvania 12th district--my district.
Her opponent for the nomination is a DINO, of course. Former corporate attorney, oil and gas lobbyist, etc.
The attack ads are beyond misleading, claiming the candidate voted against Biden's infrastructure plan even though she isn't in Congress. Wasn't in Congress last year either. And frankly, I would have voted against the infrastructure plan also. Too much money for new roads, not enough for public transit, not enough to fix the old roads.
Should be blatantly illegal. Should be illegal for a billionaire from California to pump enough money into an Ohio primary to decide the race, too.
And of course, I can't vote in the primary since I'm registered Green. Another way our elections are a fraud.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
