minus-squareabff08f4813c@j4vcdedmiokf56h3ho4t62mlku.srv.uslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months ago Needs? Yes, needs. Biden spent over a billion and Kamala will dwarf that. Unfortunately, that’s needed. If over a billion dollars isn’t enough to run a full court press, how much is? The problem is it’s an arms race. After Citizens United opened the doors, Republicans got flooded with money from secret corporate donations. Dems need to match that, else they can’t afford to campaign on an even playing ground with the GOP. I mean this comment from the OP was insightful, until citizens united is overturned it unfortunately still matter. Moving on… The only way to fix everything is to fix the dem party first. Everything is kinda ambitious. How about just reversing Citizens United and getting campaigns back down to a reasonable amount of spend first?
