What's the point of filling campaign coffers if it doesn't help you win?

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

When one candidate's campaign can take control of the party (via signed agreements!) more than a year before she's nominated as the party's candidate, while keeping that secret, because the party was in debt and the party chair Debbie Wasserman-Whateverfuckher let it happen -

That's a lot more than just raising money. That's deploying a strategy to exert total control, no matter what the constituents want and what the primary procedure requires, AND being dishonest about it the whole way.

Besides, aren't we tired of the "having a lot of money means you can do what you want" approach to things?
