LOTS of rich people donated big buckets to Kamala too. She had a LOT more money to spend than Trump did.

I mentioned that in my post that you responded to. I was trying to be proactive about anticipating the whataboutism, which I acknowledge, and have an actual discussion about individual money in politics.

I'm sure it's appreciated, because it definitely helped get Trump elected.

But how do you feel about a single individual having so much say in a campaign via their dollars? And I know Dems have this too.

Do you think this is a good thing for regular people?

You must be referring to George Soros.
 
This is so rich hearing radical, communist, anti American dems complaining about one man's $$ support
of Trump. That money Elon spent for Trump's election had absolutely little if not anything at all to do with
Trump's victory. The cackler wouldn't have won that election if Elon gave his entire 320 billion or so
dollars to her campaign. The people spoke and they want to get America back on its feet, so they
overwhelmingly voted in our greatest modern day president in Trump. Its going to be fun watching you
radical liberals crying when Elon and Vivek completely clean out the horrible deep state and the deep
bureaucratic deep state by saving tax payers up to some 2 trillion dollars. No more wasteful spending
of our taxpayer monies on useless green deal nonsense etc.

The amount we spend on climate stuff is actually laughably insignificant.

If any real money is going to be cut, it has to be from defense & entitlement programs like Social Security (and good luck to Elon & Vivek on that)

No businessman invests without expecting more in return.

And we can thank the Roberts Court for that one, put Citizens United right up there with the other colossal fuck ups

When Democrat candidates start paying for the in kind contributions from the MSM I'll worry about Musk. Can you imagine how much the support of NBC ABC and CBS is worth? Did you watch the moderators playing for team Blue in the Presidential AND in the VP Debate?.

The President's Budget invests a total of $44.9 billion in discretionary budget authority to tackle the climate crisis, $16.7 billion more than FY 2021 or an ...

I don't recall seeing any previous concern posts of yours on the subject of individual money in politics.

Is your apparent disdain for individual donations a recent phenomenon?
