DNC Resolution 4 opposing dark money in presidential primaries passes unanimously at DNC Resolutions Committee. This is a victory decades in the making after long years of opposition and struggle. Much appreciation to Chair Ken Martin.

How can this be enforced in the era of "independent spending" by corporations and SuperPACs? Sarah Elfreth claims she new nothing about AIPAC spending more than $3,000,000 on her primary race until she read it in the paper.

It is hard to enforce, yes. But resos are statements of values.

Can I ask what’s the point? We already know we aren’t going to win on the moral high ground. This just seems to me hampering our side for the sake of doing so. Republicans will have no such provisions.

This is about our own internal primaries, where some extremely hostile organizations with bad intentions are throwing their weight and money around to determine our candidates.
