So Sanders wants Republicans to win?

If we can get money out of politics it absolutely needs to be for both parties, Bernie. Fuck this you go low we go high bullshit.

I know what primaries are.

How does that change the fact that PACs put advertisements out there to get in front of ALLpeople's faces to get them out to vote (in primaries and the general) to change people's minds to attract them to democratic candidates at all?

If you don't start building that momentum before the primaries, it can be near impossible to have it when the general comes along.

Look at Kamala Failedus. Didn't even win a fucking primary.
