To his credit, it sounds like Biden was being very pragmatic about refusing their help. (if you wanna know, read the article) It sounds to me as though some rank amateurs created and were trying to run the thing, not knowing the rules or what they can legally do.

It was this statement that caught my eye: "Many of the Republican presidential contenders in 2016 had super PACs, but most Democrats have rejected them in 2020, bowing to pressure from progressive groups and campaign finance reform advocates."

"Most" Democrats, huh? How about this information from Open Secrets: As of March 26, 2019 , these liberal/Democrat Super PACs have raised: Senate Majority PAC (164 + million), House Majority PAC ($95+million), Independence USA PAC ($64+million), Women Vote! ($40+million). That's just the larger ones and just in the last reporting cycle.

But, Dems speak with forked tongue...all the better to speak out of both sides of their mouths; again from the HuffPo article: "Most Democratic candidates have said they would only disavow super PACs during the primary, and will be willing to match President Donald Trump dollar-for-dollar during the general election. In the meantime, the Democratic super PAC Priorities USA has already begun running digital ads attacking Trump, and is prepared to spend tens of millions of dollars before the party settles on a nominee."
