    It’s naive to think that voters have more influence on policies than donors/lobbyists. If democrats win every election then capitalists will just donate more to make sure their needs are met. All politicians are corrupted by huge sums of money.

      While there’s some legitimacy in money winning elections, you know what it comes down to? Fucking votes.

        I feel like you didn’t read my comment at all. Because your point is completely irrelevant to what I said.

          I addressed it. I’ll try again. The ultimate deciding factor in elections is votes. Literally votes. Election night isn’t spent tallying who raised the most money, it’s literally counting who got the most votes.
