Money too often decides who we get to vote for. It definitely does in the USA.


Again, money buys you a stage. You'll need a stage to run for office. But if your message stinks, people won't vote for you.

Kamala bought a big stage (she outspent Trump by a wide margin). But she lost. If money buys elections, she would have won.


Sooo...Harris' failure to win proves that money doesn't win elections...you do realize that her opponent also had to spend dozens of millions to even be able to compete, right?

Really hard to imagine how you aren't being willfully ignorant on this. Money doesn't win elections. It just puts you in the only possible position where one can win. Those are your own words, yet you somehow conclude that money doesn't win elections? Money literally decides what choice WE HAVE in an election. You cannot vote for someone who doesn't have the extreme wealth required to compete. & someone who isn't competing, isn't a choice given to voters.

Electricity doesn't make computers run, pushing the on button does!
