Their votes are worth more than yours.

Kinda puts my $25 into perspective.

The “victory funds” that Hillary started, Biden continued, and then handed of to Kamala means the legal limit went from 2.5k a person to close to a million.

Because of the loopholes that’s used to accomplish that, it also means state parties are drastically underfunded.

And republicans aren’t going to just sit there and not do it too, it’s likely why trump put his daughter in law in charge of the RNC purse strings.

Neither party wants to change it. Because they both like money and it’s easier to get a million from a billionaire than 2.5k from 400 regular Americans, and that’s not getting into how “regular Americans” can’t afford 2.5k in the first place

If you still didnt understand why both parties cater to the rich, this is why it’s gotten even worse since 2016 when Hillary devised this bullshit.

This all goes back to citizens united and giving rights to entities that only exist on paper.

Until they can jail the whole board and the C-suite, corporations aren’t people.

You can definitely say that’s where it started.

But instead of fixing it, both parties are trying to find more way for the wealthiest to give as much money as possible.

Neither want it fixed, they just want the money

HubertManne ,

this is true. some individuals in congress want to like bernie but overall no movement.

And if Hillary hadn’t taken over the DNC in the 2016 primary by doing even more shady shit than Citizen’s, Bernie would have likely won. Fixed Citizen’s and be at the end of his second term.

Unfortunately that didn’t happen.

Neoliberals are not on the same side as progressives, we just dont have any other options when primaries have become purely theatrical, if were even lucky enough to get that.

Loads of states only get to vote in a primary weeks or months after the candidate has been “decided” having no say in who the candidate is hurts general turnout and helps Republicans. That’s not even getting I to how NH got their primary stolen this year because they kept voting for progressives.

Imaging putting all that money into something useful like against the climate crisis.

MajinBlayze ,

This is functionally spending money on the climate crisis, on the side of the crisis.
