Been happening since Watergate and the right decided instead of running good politicians, they’d make a propaganda machine to convince their voters that down is really up.

This allowed them to dive even further into corruption, and take a bunch of dirty money that helped them in elections.

The wealthy elites quickly realized political bribes were so cheap, there was no reason to bribe only one of the only two options.

That brought the rise of neoliberalism, and both parties only caring about the wealthy and deregulating campaign finance and journalistic integrity because both allows them to take more bribes.

Kamala had a ~$1,500,000,000 campaign in like a month and a half.

There is zero reason a campaign (much less one against a candidate as bad as trump) should ever cost that much. The money and time of modern campaigns isn’t spent on getting votes, it’s spent on raising more donations from the rich. They never reach a point where they meet the fundraising goal, even after the election I was getting spam asking to donate to Kamala/DNC. Because the “victory fund” nonsense gets rolled over to the next candidate chosen by the party before primaries even start.

Whoever the party backs in 2028 will be able to use that to compete in the Dem primary.

The whole thing is completely fucked, and it’s a game we literally can’t win with the DNC if they just keep doubling down. Their chair election is in about a month. Depending on how they vote we’ll see if the party reinvents itself, or if it’s truly a lost cause and we need a new party. One who’s focus is on getting votes and not as much money as possible
