    Unlike a certain rich republican candidate who has misused funds, the money goes to their campaign not the person themselves

    That’s not true.

    Candidates of both stripes can, and do, loan their campaigns money at interest, and it’s legal. Both Clinton and Trump made headlines for it in 2016.

    Further, the federal minimum wage hasn’t gone up since 2008, and that’s more than enough proof to me that neither party cares about people.

    Don’t contribute money to these assholes. Put it in your savings or investments instead.

      Are you under the impression that people donate money to politicians as an investment? For some of us, our sights are on yknow… not letting our country slide into a fascist state. My personal wealth is not as important as that.

        Seeing as how Biden’s sitting around doing nothing about cop cities and the criminalization of abortion and homelessness, all the while supporting child genocide, it seems your problem is with Red fascism as opposed to Blue fascism, from where I’m looking.

        Did I miss something and they dismantled the mass surveillance state, reigned in the police, and stopped funding endless imperialist military ventures while I wasn’t looking?
