Yes, There Is Money in Politics, But Some of It Is Far Dirtier (and Stupider) than the Rest

As noted previously, there are two distinct types of Trump supporters: a) Amoral/immoral rich people, who, at the top echelon, donate huge sums of money in exchange for tax breaks at the corporate and personal levels, and b) working-class white people who like how Trump punishes the already marginalized: Latinos, Muslims, blacks, LGBTQs, women, the poor, and the uneducated, and who make nominal donations, a large percentage of which go to keeping their hero out of prison.

As the author of the meme here points out, Kamala Harris is in a position to spend 100% of the money she raises on defeating her opponent.  Simple and straightforward.  As much as I would like to see money out of politics, in relative terms, there’s a lot to be admired here.
