$1.5 billion is chump change compared to social media, are you fucking kidding?
The DNC spent an absolute fuck ton of money, it's not chump change at all.

Oh, so it's not a lot of money?
Because most of it was stolen from state parties via the "victory fund" and that just keeps handing Republicans House and even Senate states ...
Like, if that money didn't matter, why didnt we leave it with the state parties so Trump wouldn't have the House and Senate?
Because saying 1.5 billion isn't enough to compete with dem voters online who don't like the candidate...
I fucking bet we could have won three house seats for 500 million a pop and trump couldn't be doing what he wants right now ....
Luckily the new DNC chair is going back to being competitive in down ballots again.
But fuck man, are you really saying you think we need to keep throwing even more of eggs into one basket? Even after that one basket spent four years telling us anyone who thought the presidency basket mattered is an idiot.
