The Battle of the Oligarchs is under way. Dark money rules the USA politics.

β€œIn modern campaigning, control of voter data and technology is everything. Currently, the Democratic National Committee houses the party data in a tense, underfunded, and inefficient alliance with 50 state parties. But all candidates have equal access to the data, including the voter file. The party does not bar challengers to incumbents, or members of Congress who cross leadership, for instance, from accessing that voter file. But in private hands, the most up-to-date data could be withheld as a disciplinary tool against renegade candidates and lawmakers, or offered as a reward to loyalists. Winning the Biden campaign contract would give Hawkfish an opportunity to dramatically grow its data acquisition operation. Without it, Hawkfish is a big firm with no big client. Hawkfish and its leadership did not respond to multiple requests for comment. The Biden campaign declined to comment.β€œ

We need to replace the democratic party with a new non-corrupt party.

. . . not trying to "poke the bear", but on which planet does "no corruption in politics" exist ?

@ToolGuy . . . "et tu Brute"

not necessarily disagreeing, but without metrics and evidence, color me skeptical. πŸ˜›

@FearlessFly

I think 0% corruption in any party anywhere is an impossibility but at least with a fresh start, there would be an opportunity to create something less corrupt.

@ToolGuy . . . anecdotes are NOT data !

@RoboGraham Call me cynical if you like, but history doesn't support that POV.

. . . just the US :

@FearlessFly

I'd call you practical. Most people are far too complacent and ill informed to put in the effort it would take to first realize that a new party is necessary and then work to bring it to fruition.
