    Trumpism has an unlimited amount of money to throw into its efforts. Elon Musk, the wealthiest man on earth, put more than $270m into Trump’s campaign, a tiny portion of his fortune. Other multibillionaires will join Musk in spending whatever it takes.

    This is why neoliberals working with Republicans for 30 years to completely dismantle campaign finance regulations never was rationale.

    The wealthiest will always side with the furtherest right party, doesn’t matter if they give to both, the check to the right will always be larger.

    We spent 30 years digging our own grave till that was possible.

    With the Republican party in the House having only a three-vote majority we can defeat draconian, anti-working-class legislation if just two Republican members of Congress vote no.

    I’d also like to point out that the “victory fund” shenanigans is defunding state dem parties (literally by design) and costing us a shit ton more than two House seats.

    We’re throwing everything at a presidential race instead of down allot races, and then when we did win the presidency, immediately said it didn’t fucking matter.

    If that’s the case why didn’t we spend that $1,500,000,000 on down ballot races?

    That shit couldn’t win 3 house races since Biden spent four years telling us presidents were powerless?
