Joe Biden: “If you go out and bundle $250K for me, all legal, and then you call me after I’m elected and say ‘Joe, I’d like to talk to you about something.’ I’m gonna say ‘Come on in.’ It’s human nature.” https://twitter.com/IbrahimAS97/status/1127031297505935360/video/1 …

Fundraising is the chief activity of every Congressperson and presidential candidate. It consumes literally hours a day of legislators' time. They do it between votes and during committee hearings (scurrying across the street to stay legal). They hate it more than you ever will.

No one benefits from making it a political sin to honestly describe the role and importance of fundraising.

AOC is free all the way to talk to voters. She didn't take money from bundlers, pacs, co-operations or lobbyists. Why doesn't Joe try that out.
-
Because she's not running for President, which costs three orders of magnitude more than a congressional run.
