Question: How did only 69+million people raise $1 Billion for Kamala in only

[yobrault1]

90 days. The math is not mathing people. He lost support since the last election. Dems were more tuned into what his next term would look like than any other demographic on the planet. Why would they sit on their hands. Simply because of "female". Something smells rotten in Denmark.

1. That's for sure & it's called Misogyny & Racism. The MR effect, someone called it. -nt

2. It would be a critical mistake to blame M&R for this 100%

It's part of it, yes... but need to get to the root of the problem which IMHO is taking back the economic populism from the GOP.

This isn't your Daddy's Democratic Party.

It's now the Party of billionaires, high income individuals and the ultra poor... the bulk of the Party argues with the ACLU, supports too many wars and embraces neoconservative leaders and their philosophy.

3. Large donations, organizational fundraising, and SuperPACs

Same as every other candidate since Citizens United.

Total raised, Outside Groups: $649,163,464

Large Contributions $582,537,642 57.52%

4. But then we are supposed to believe the same people didn't vote for her.

Something stinks for sure.

6. Well, no.

The majority of her campaign money came from outside groups and large donations, as I noted above.

There's no reason to believe they - and small contributors, of course - didn't vote for her.

They were unlikely to be the problem.

5. Math-

$1,000,000,000/69,000,000= $14.50

All it would take is each Harris supporter donating $14.50, and that doesn't include any donations from organizations or the big money donors.

The math maths.

[TwilightZone]

7. Yep.

And, as I noted above, the majority of her funding came from outside groups and large donations which makes the math even mathier, to coin a term.
