    Cost over a billion to beat trump last time and this time is going break the record again.

    I don’t understand how they’re spending this much money, like I understand the answer is corruption, but I’m just amazed they have the balls to claim that much is legitimately spent on campaigning.

    Most of it is probably the salaries of the people in charge of collecting donations. They’re just after a commission, but Jamie Harrison got the DNC chair because he ran against a nationally hated Republican in a seat he had no chance of winning

    Biden didn’t care he lost the election, just that he broke records for donations. Everyone ignored the donations weren’t so much for Harrison, they were against his opponent.
