This is politics. Trump is doing the same exact thing.
American politics is shambles

So... the unfathomably wealthy should receive a huge advantage over the rest of candidates and fund this type of thing on their own...?

No, you should simply limit spending on elections.

Ultimately it makes a lot easier for the rich to simply vote with their dollars, what's the point of having any elections if the Koch brothers can just decide we're going to make so and so ultravisible.
Both are wrong.
The DNC should be funding this themselves. I'm not sure exactly what these people are trying to accomplish by doing this call for donations but I can promise you that they 1000% do NOT need to do this.
trying to look grassroots while protecting corporate interests in every other scenario
Grift? Nigga, just don't donate.
How is this even grifting? People donated towards his campaign for presidency just 1 month ago lmao. How is this any different?
If you can't afford to donate then you can't afford to donate.

Bloomberg tried to make himself ultra visible and ended up getting BTFO after spending a whopping 500 million on ads.
Joe Biden won off name clout and endorsements in the DNC primary despite spending and raising less than his competitor
This argument is dead for national elections. Bury it.
Let's not pretend either Obama or Biden are huge improvements on Trump. Trump at least gave us quotables on quotables.
You can't expect people to just let people like Obama and Biden get away with virtually the same brand of politics, because they looked more presidential while doing it, and had some vaguely progressive policy somewhere along the line.
"Trump at least gave us quotables on quotables"
What? Nigga, who cares?

Quotables nigga? That’s what you looking at? Lmao Trump was a piece of s*** who couldn’t shut his mouth. I agree politics are all one in the same but Trump set this country back
Every time op gains a follower, he makes a s***tier thread
Crazy
They’re actually making a good point. Did you not follow any of the big Dem senate races that each made $70+ million in donations but lost by double digits? Lincoln Project or Motherboard that scammed tons of naive trump haters?
Anyone would be doing a bigger public good donating to a thot’s only fans or cash app.

Trump did what any republican president would've done only reason he gets lambasted the way he does is because of how uncouth he was, he broke away from a lot of the respectability politics liberals love, have you seen these cacs trying to paint a war criminal in bush in favourable light?

Lincoln Project didnt scam anyone lmao
Lincoln Project failing to convert anyone with ads =/= You were scammed
Likewise
People failing to win an election =/= You were scammed
This is like saying Trump voters were scammed because he lost. Lmao wtf
How does this series of logic even make sense to you
You donate in order to make something effective. It doesnt mean you are certain to garner an outcome.
How did America end up at this point, it makes no sense, Biden is a rich man he can fund his transition, I'm sure Harris made a pretty buck dumping black folk into prison.
America deserves better man.
Also Biden cannot fund his transition singlehandedly.
His net worth is 9 million.
Again, stop complaining about gofundmes you dont have to donate to

He has friends in high places he can manage
god sometimes I wish I was so blissfully ignorant that I saw this tweet and thought "wow they're really in trouble I should donate some of my paycheck to help them out!"
At least its not as bad as Trump's gofundme where half the money he pulls from those rubes is going towards clearing his debt
He has friends in high places he can manage
Should we only have billionaires run for office?

The whole electoral process needs massive reforms. Depending on donors is as good as only billionaires being allowed to run, since they can make the sort of donations that can influence a candidates policies.
