    If that were the case, the Dems could just stand up and say, “You and I both know that those aren’t even issues. They are open and shut case of right vs. wrong. Here are the issues that actually matter to people on both sides of the political spectrum:

    • stop sending our tax money to bomb people
    • give us Single Payer
    • break up monopolies
    • make it possible to afford a home
    • make college education free
    • increase wages
    • help labor
    • etc”

    and they would win in a landslide (if elections were even fair in the first place).

    But they don’t because they know that it allows them to give the donors (who are considered PEOPLE with ability to funnel ANY amount of money to a candidate because of Citizens United) what they want (more money) while doing ANYTHING to distinguish themselves to their sheeplike electorate.
