"Smith says that PAC donations are 'important' because the money buys access and 'help' from politicians."

I understand that I am horribly naive in this, but this type of statement frustrates and infuriates me. Is this a system that can ever be reformed?

I don't remember the source, but I recall the idea that politicians should wear their "endorsements" like a Nascar driver - all over their cars & uniforms. (I know even less about Nascar, so please don't eviserate me. Lightly chide, sure.)

It frustrates & angers me that Democrats have seemingly learned nothing from this. Sure they appear to be going for the 2nd impeachment but Schumer’s not a strong Senate leader & never has been. McConnell trounces him regularly and it looks like that patterns is going to continue. We need to not only hobble Mitch, but kick his crutches out from under him and force him to the ground where he can’t get back up. McConnell has single handedly done more to dismantle our Democracy than anyone. No more playing nice & fuck unity.
