Except money evidently doesn’t buy it by itself. If it did Harris would have won. Effective messaging (Where is the Dem Joe Rogan? They kicked the closest thing they have out of the DNC for expressing broadly popular opinions) and playing to the base of people willing to vote for you (Dems will never get those Republican voters no matter how many immigrants they promise to stop at the border) wins elections.
Is it that absurd? Sure Trump’s campaign is dripping with much more overt hate and racism, but if you think that the party that welcome DICK CHENEY with open arms and paraded him around isn’t doing something wrong then I can’t help you.
Also the mods removed my comment, so how wrong can I really be?
Her platform was literally to tax the rich, make a ceasefire in gaza, and decriminalize Marijuana.
Trump’s platform was to have his opponents put in front of a firing squad, force Ukraine to surrender to Russia, cut taxes for the rich (again), and put in place Tariffs which will absolutely destroy USA commerce.
Are you forgetting that she was in office when she said she was going to make a ceasefire? Why didn’t she do it then? Where was that?
And show me her plan to tax the rich. She is a blatantly pro corporate candidate.
And they just threw the weed thing in there at the end because it was becoming very obvious that her platform was massively unpopular. She famously was super hard on people being arrested for marijuana charges when she was a prosecutor.
She is still Vice President, not President, but they have on multiple occasions attempted to coerce a ceasefire, sometimes escalating to Biden swearing at Netanyahu over the phone.
Compared to the Trump Plan of writing Israel a Blank Check. Hell, they’ve literally already supported a single state solution under his previous admin when he put his son in law Jared Kushner in charge of the situation.

Vice President Harris and Governor Walz believe that working families deserve a break. That’s why under their plan more than 100 million working and middle-class Americans will get a tax cut. They will do this by restoring two tax cuts designed to help middle class and working Americans: the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Through these two programs, millions of Americans get to keep more of their hard-earned income. They will also expand the Child Tax Credit to provide a $6,000 tax cut to families with newborn children. They believe no child in America should live in poverty, and these actions would have a historic impact.
Unlike Donald Trump, Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are committed to ensuring no one earning less than $400,000 a year will pay more in taxes. They believe that we need to chart a New Way Forward by both making our tax system fairer and prioritizing investment and innovation. They will ensure the wealthiest Americans and the largest corporations pay their fair share, so we can take action to build up the middle class while reducing the deficit. This includes rolling back Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, enacting a billionaire minimum tax, quadrupling the tax on stock buybacks, and other reforms to ensure the very wealthy are playing by the same rules as the middle class. Under her plan, the tax rate on long-term capital gains for those earning a million dollars a year or more will be 28 percent, because when the government encourages investment, it leads to broad-based economic growth and creates jobs, which makes our economy stronger.
She has also floated uncapping social security taxes so top earners would pay more, and also introducing a unrealized capital gains tax on large amounts.
Thinking that Kamala was the Corporate Candidate is absolutely asinine, but it’s also got some truth to it as literally everyone except the richest Americans will suffer as a result of the Trump Admin. The fact that you can even compare the two means you knew absolutely nothing about how Trump cut taxes for the rich in 2017 and raised it on the lowest earning brackets.
Are you familiar with the term “political theater”?
It’s where a politician says one thing and makes a big show about something, and then does the opposite.
Why would anyone be scared of the geriatric lame duck president yelling at them?
And why didn’t this administration reverse Trump’s tax cuts for the rich or actually do a damn thing about it?
You’re being lied to and you’re believing it.
And Kamala is so pro corporate that she is one of the biggest and most effective proponents of California’s prisoner slave labor.
Who do you think it’s using this prison labor? Who is the beneficiary of not having to pay their workers?? Could it possibly be the giant corporations that run American???
Are you familiar with the fact that Trump literally cut taxes for the rich, raised the federal deficit, and raised taxes on the lowest earners? Thats not theatre, that literally happened. You have a party that at least promises to make lives better and a party that literally will make lives worse with a proven record, and you helped elect the latter like a fuckin moron.
You want to talk about benefiting off of Criminal Labor? Biden pardoned hundreds of Marijuana convictions one at a time and made it so that future nonviolent possession convictions of the same nature don’t happen.
Removing a tax plan that hasn’t expired would take a 2/3rds vote from the senate, DNC never had more than 48.
“Control of the senate” they had 48 and they lost the house shortly after. Trump has appointed 3 SCOTUS judges, THEY overturned Roe V. Wade. You’re literally saying both sides are bad because one side is destroying human rights and the other isn’t trying hard enough to stop it?
The mad thing about the result is that the Dems spent so much more money and still lost. Not that you can easily quantify the financial value of changing the algorithm on twitter to favour Trump.
Twitter, Washington Post, FaceBook, TikTok, YouTube: they all favored Trump. But YouTube may have just been unintentional as they are grossly incompetent and dont understand how their own algorithm leans into extremes.
YouTube definitely know they have an issue and don’t care, or they would do something about it. Radicalising people with extreme content increases engagement which makes them money, the only thing that will make them change it is regulation (with teeth).
That is fair that a person becoming radicalized does engage more, but it also turns a lot of people away from the platform and the loss of advertisers and users on Twitter is proof of that.
The missing votes are idiots who saw the bad lady talked about on YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter. Money buys opinions.
Except money evidently doesn’t buy it by itself. If it did Harris would have won. Effective messaging (Where is the Dem Joe Rogan?

Right but if George Soros or the Disney Heiress owned Twitter it probably would be a lot closer.

That’s not remotely the fucking same.

He’s talking about the money Russia spent paying for tiktokers and youtubers to send corrupted ,messaging to the addicts.

Yeah good point, it was more than just twitter.
