“Democrats take dark money too! Both sides!”
What You Say
Correct — dark money hits both parties, which is why disclosure reform is bipartisan common ground, not a partisan attack. OpenSecrets tracks spending regardless of beneficiary. The Epstein Files Act is bipartisan. SAFE-004 mandates real-time disclosure over $200 and 48-hour lobbying logs for everyone. 'Both sides do it' is an argument for structural reform, not against it.
The Stab
Both sides is why we need rules.
