here is my only "both siderism" statement

[dsp3000]

the amount of dollars spent on this election cycle by both sides is obscene... this money could have gone to ANYTHING to benefit the american people, health care, early childhood daycare, hell even a full blown USN DDG or a few F35s. All this cash spent on commercials and ads. INSANE!! citizens united must be overturned. I can't take the relentless ads anymore here in PA

1. Our electoral process is its own industry now, with its own Christmas season every four years.

Yes, it's obscene.

2. Every two years, man!

the house and senate races generate a ton of revenue as well.

F35 - $78 million on average
Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer - $1B

The harris campaign raised $1B alone, not including any of the super PACs and not even including the republican side.

3. Citizens United has got to go

and taxes on the absurdly wealthy need to be raised.

We would resolve so much simply by doing these two things.

Voting blue is the only way to make any of the above come true!!

4. Agreed. We are wasting money, energy, and other resources.

These are things we shouldn’t be wasting. We need to find a way to shorten it and tame the money involved. But there are people making huge sums of money off this so it won’t be easy.

5. I don't know of another way.

6. In this current environment you are absolutely correct

7. This is the only environment available to us.
