MODERATORS
Both of the parties are more comfortable being the opposition when they don't actually have to do anything and can collect donations while telling people they need to vote harder.
I always figured you can grift more when actually in power compared to fundraising like chumps in the offseason.
The amount that industry lobbyists will pay to get a government contract or whatever makes donations look petty.
But I have no sense of the actual numbers for any of this
The difference is, the lobbyists expect returns on their money. People getting emails about STOPPING TYRANNY are donating on a 100% vibes basis and will accept "shucks orange man stopped us" instead of concrete actions
Most political money doesn’t come from scared Pearl clutching Liberals, most of it comes from corporations and lobbies. Those corporations and lobbies buy favor with winners, not losers. Less seats and less power means less money.
