$50,000,000 of AIPAC money and Stevens still sucked shit lol

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're just going to fund his opponent in the general. And they have unlimited money.

Stevens outspent El-Sayed by a factor of like 10 to 1. Clinton outspent Trump, too. A bigger war chest isn't a guarantee of electoral victory anymore.

Surely the army of consultants and media producers dependent upon campaign spending are being honest and impartial when they say candidates need to outspend their opponents.

Guess they're gonna need real jobs now.

Maybe they can do some factory jobs since the US is gonna have no choice but to do some domestic manufacturing soon.

That kinda softens the blow of Citizens United

not really. CU moved the baseline, it takes a huge amount of effort to overcome that shit and that effort and peoples' volunteer hours would be better spent elsewhere

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Ah, that makes sense actually

If $30 million couldn't do it, surely $50 million could!

Get out of here, AIPAC. Nobody likes you anymore except for the establishment ghouls everyone's learned to hate.

I hope they spend absurd amounts of money on this election.

"Y'all dabbing in tranquilizing drug of electoralism again?"

Remember the rule, it's okay to cheer and celebrate someone you don't like losing election and eating shit (i.e., the AIPAC candidate) but it is still haram to celebrate some lib winning and catching feelings

You go, USA! So happy to see things slowly gaining momentum over there
