    If you remove America’s biggest man baby, it’s more or less a billion for each side in this graphic. ~1.2b to ~900m.

    Musk’s definitely a big player putting his thumb on the scale, buuut I’m pretty sure this graphic is missing primary spending, where corporate Democrats received a ton of AIPAC funding to beat progressive challengers, so…dk how much stock I’d put in that image. I also know for certain that it’s missing the 633m of “dark” money that entered this election.

      critical thinkers when they learn that every politician in their country is bought by the rich and powerful, and are slaves to the whims of the rich: this is why we have to get out tbere and VOTE! 😤

      Well the fact that most on the blue side is prob AIPAC or billionaires funding their preferred choices, not anyone who happens to be on the democratic ticket does not change the basic argument. There’s a lot of evil people investing a lot to manage things.
