Nice guys finish last. And we're still playing nice (dark money)

The massive infiltration of dark money into repub races is beyond concerning. If you were running and had 1/2 million dollars in campaign $$, and your opponent had access to 50 million who do you think has the best chance? Dark money is at the heart of it all. President Biden and our DemocratIC leaders need to think outside the box and try to fix it. Use workarounds to pass laws. Citizens United must go!

That talk about how much a candidate has in their campaign accounts. Because for Republicans, it does not really account for all the money they have at their disposal to affect an election.
