The depths the @nydems are going to disgrace robust public financing and suggest there has been a movement to kill fusion is shockingly undemocratic. Just as nationally House Dems are fighting to transform laws with #HR1.
They use bias polling to suggest voters don't want a Government Of, By and For the People. They fearmonger to suggest there are no controls on the limited funds that would match only small donations that increase democratic participation.
