I particularly like the final paragraph of the following story.
Read on.
Emphases mine:
DNC delays decision on banning corporate PAC money – February 17, 2019 08:52 PM
A governing committee of the Democratic Party decided Friday to not ban donations from corporate political action committees, instead choosing to delay a decision until 2020.
Advocates sought the ban on corporate PAC money — rather than on corporate donations as a whole — to communicate independence from business interests, even though the Democratic National Committee took just $144,000 in corporate PAC donations last year, or about .08 percent of the party’s $175 million 2018 windfall, according to Vox.
The ban previously was adopted in 2008 when former President Barack Obama ran for office, but was abandoned in 2016 when Hillary Clinton sought the presidency.
The latest proposal was sponsored by Christine Pelosi, chairwoman of the California Democratic Party women’s caucus,but was punted Friday by the DNC Resolutions Committee, delaying a decision until 2020 when the DNC Platform Committee will decide.

More than 50 House Democrats and several 2020 Democratic presidential candidates have said recently they will refuse corporate PAC donations as more left-wing policies find traction within the party, notably including increased support for government-financed healthcare.

The DNC is not considering a ban on donations from corporations, which could prove more detrimental to the party’s bottom line.
Although the DNC took little money from corporate PACs last year, it did rake in a good deal of contributions from corporations. The party’s top corporate donor last year was hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, which gave more than $1 million, and was until recently run by CEO Robert Mercer, whose other investments include Breitbart News and President Trump’s 2016 campaign.
I repeat:
“The party’s top corporate donor last year was hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, which gave more than $1 million, and was until recently run by CEO Robert Mercer, whose other investments include Breitbart News and President Trump’s 2016 campaign.”
Think on that for a minute…especially you neocentrist DNC supporters.
UniParty system?
Corporate control of both parties?
NAAAAAAhhhhhh…!!!
Who’d even consider such a thing!!!???
Couldn’t happen here, right???
WRONG!!!
WTFU.
It’s already happened.
The New Dems who are being increasingly vilified in the equally bought-and-sold major media (of both supposed “sides”) are simply trying to stop that single problem!!!
Succeed in doing so and the whole game will change.
Watch.
