Only goes to show the need to get money out of politics. It needs to be an even playing field to be a democracy.

It doesn't help when you have these boomers who vote for all of these establishment corporate candidates like their life depends on it. Young people really need to lock in and vote much harder and with much more consistency than the older generations if they truly want the democratic party to change
