Comments on: Democratic Party does to John Lewis what Trump couldn’t https://occasionalplanet.org/2017/01/15/democratic-party-john-lewis-trump-couldnt/ Progressive Voices Speaking Out Sun, 15 Jan 2017 22:17:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Stacy Mergenthal https://occasionalplanet.org/2017/01/15/democratic-party-john-lewis-trump-couldnt/#comment-7555 Sun, 15 Jan 2017 22:17:00 +0000 http://occasionalplanet.org/?p=35727#comment-7555 I think you were right to support public campaign financing, among other campaign reforms, when you ran for Congress. It seems like the only fair way to run campaigns while also allowing politicians to do the jobs they were elected to do once in office. Raising money for the party can take up more time than legislating and creates politicians beholden to wealthy donors. That doesn’t leave much room for principles. It is counterproductive, especially to the interests of the electorate.
