(25,699 posts)That his opponent is exploiting a loophole in SuperpAC regulations, allowing her campaign to coordinate and exchange funds directly with "Correct the Record" a pro-Clinton pac run by a misogynist racist (as you do in the Clinton campaign). Her financial shortfalls are made up through loans to herself (she's worth what now, $31.3 million), donations from the NRA, Shell, and many assorted other major corporate donors. All of whom have majority shares in the five major networks and three media conglomerates that decide our access to information. This network of interconnected and incestuous funding and media ties works as a suppressant to provide a firewall against "undesirable' candidates like sanders and O'Malley, and coordinate your Daily Outrages and two-minute hate against any who break through that barrier (as Sanders has managed.)
Naw.
It couldn't actually be systemic.
...Could it?
