They don’t want to have to put in the work. They want that easy money. DC is like a fucking casino and nobody wants the money-train to end.

Oh, you sweet summer child. They are so very much cheaper than that. Most of the pols in DC can be bought for tens of thousands or even just thousands of dollars. No need to get into six figures.

Musk gave Trump $75 million in one go because laws don’t apply to the rich.
The rest of us have real legal limits on what we can give.
And if those Bernie dollars had turned into votes maybe she’d be going after them. Also, Bernie endorsed her.
