So what?

Of course Democrats are "better than Republicans." I should hope so. Fire fighters are better than arsonists, too. Different goals.

"Money wins elections" - yes, that is the truth. Do you support that? Why may we not speak against it? If money won this election, should we not suspect that money will be looking for a payback? Can we not resist that?

All contributions - bribes - are "individual contributions" ultimately. Those with more give more and expect more. That is antithetical to democracy. If you are saying that poor people contributed, that is even more of a tragedy. People should not have to pay to have a voice.
