It's all because Big Money is allowed to be donated: end that and things might improve, otherwise we'll continue to endure an endless parade of rabid dogs.


Big money has not driven people into 2 sides. No big money backed Trump.
The President is a fink.

But yet it’s necessary, prove me wrong. Disney could go bankrupt for all I care. Go woke, then F U.

About 200,000 jobs
Moosetown wants all these people to lose their jobs
Sad what Trumpers want
This is as anti business as you can get
Of course nobody on the right will speak out about this due to intense illogical political hatred
Take Hobby Lobby or Chick-fil-A
I don't want these companies to go out of business
I don't want to see these people lose their jobs
It's common sense
Trumpers have lost common sense rooting for 200k to lose their jobs

Is it?

Dunno.

The point is, Trump got "big money.," not talking about the dems.

One of the dumber things Duffman has said in a while.

But we know he’s got big shoes to fill in that department….

Which is the point. MSM keeps you in the dark about anything that doesn't fit the Dem narrative. Expand your sources of information. Still choose who you want to believe but how can you make an informed decision if you don't even know what one side claims.

You mischaracterized / misunderstood my response.

I said "dunno" because I didn't bother to google up the exact numbers, as I did for Trump's campaign.

Of course I know that a lot of money flowed to the dems...duh.

I was only responding to the false claim that no big money flowed to Trump: I clearly showed that yeah, a lot of big money was funneled his way, mostly by PAC's, a true abomination to American politics.

But yeah, big money flows to both party's candidates, and that needs to stop.

You still don't get it. Much more flowed to the Dems than Trump.

"Of donations and spending reported to the FEC, liberal groups directed more than $514 million in dark money into the 2020 election, overshadowing around $200 million that boosted Republicans. " That amount doesn't include the $450 million that Zuck spent for the Dems.

Are our righties having some Citizens United regrets?

What a shame…
