You could legit solve homelessness instead of flushing that down the drain to a bunch of ad companies
And probably earn more votes. A lot more votes. No campaigning or anything, just funneling all the campaign funds into something that actually helps people. Social media would have done all the work. Sooner or later someone will remember the "bread" part of "bread and circuses" and they will rule completely unchecked. It will probably be terrible.
I feel like we're so far past bread it would be viewed on an equal level as Elon giving a million to a random person for voting, a candidate that used their campaign funds to help people would probably get investigated and somehow disqualified from running.
No, I think we will see it in our lifetimes. Not in any actually benevolent way, just a brief respite from the worst this world has to offer in exchange for the power to to literally anything.
Trump gets 500 million, keeps half of it personally and wins the election.
Kamala gets three times that much, loses, and didn't even make her self unbelievably rich in the process.
Who's really the dumb one.
So much spent on celebrity appearances too
$1 million to Oprah lol
Who could she possibly be convincing by bringing in Oprah? The wine moms are already voting for her.
That is a comfortable lifetime's worth of money for thousands of people. Fucking gross
Fwiw it probably did become a lifetime worth of money for a few thousand consultants
$1.5 billion
Could have fed and housed so many people with that money
Instead, she ate shit
$20 billion
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates that it would cost $20 billion to end homelessness.
You can easily get the rest from just pulling from the military or even better seizing the obscene wealth of the billionaire class and fix this overnight but noooooooooo billion dollar vanity projects.
Off-topic, but that number is one of the things that made/makes me absolutely hate the billionaires in this world. People like Bezos, Buffett, or Musk could end homelessness or world hunger tomorrow while not even really noticing the hit to their wealth, but they all choose instead to spend it on destroying the planet instead.
Homelessness and world hunger is the source of their power, they use it as leverage to force other people to enact their will. Ending hunger will diminish their power, and so they will never do it.
Even ending homelessness for 1/20 people who are homeless would've been objectively better as a campaign strategy too
Nah it wouldn’t, like 95% of Americans give 0 fucks about the homeless
first put every real estate developer and landlord into a camp or they will ~~start~~ increase arming domestic paramilitary death squads
At least my billion dollar vanity project, building Castle Von ThunderCastle, would provide countless jobs and a place to live for all those willing to join my ruthless terrorist organization
what, they don't have any math magicians at the NYT.
you spend 1.5 billion in 15 weeks by spending 100 million every week for 15 weeks.
I'm assuming they did something even less intelligent or beneficial than buying every American with a car a gallon of gasoline and a warm can of Pepsi.
$5 to every American no questions asked and we actually fucling give it to you this time would unironically have been a better use of funds.
1.5 k to 1 million in key swing states, instead of paying hollywood turds, would have actually done something lol
I would’ve settled for a large bag of Cheetos
instead he's in the got dang white house!
so I guess I got what I wanted
she has pressed for more cash since the election
They're just doing the E1 episode
huh it's almost like this was the scam all along and winning was at best secondary
Well there were 2 assassination attempts on Trump after she gained the nomination so...
Her faildayn were hard at work.
I read earlier they actually finished up $20mil in debt lmao.
In that same article some DNC spokesperson was like "we are separate from her campaign and we're very healthy financially now!"
So much proof they don't care about the election as much as their funding.
Also apparently her campaign is still getting donations... imagine the libs donating to her still.
"Woops i accidentally over drafted the account by 20 million dollars"
Whomst among us...
Also known as ONE DAY worth of spending lmao
🎶 Springtime for MAGA and 'Murica! Winter for Gaza and Chad 🎶
PS I don't really know what's going on in Chad, it was just the single syllable country having the hardest time. I'll remove if I posted something offensive
Chad is in the tropics, I don't think they have winters there.
Or all Trumps
The Cheneys too while you're at it... wait
