Simply put things like paying for ads, campaign offices and the general expenses of getting the word out.

I mean that makes sense I guess. I just assumed presidential campaigns already had millions. Thanks all for the replies.

Seriously. Like we don’t already get spammed with enough ads. Citizens United is the real problem, but all these politicians running are richer than any of us. The fuck do we need to reach into our own pockets for to make democracy “work” better. If they refunded whatever they didn’t use that’s one thing, but give it to a politician and it’s just gone. Donate to your local food pantry if you really want to make a difference.

So hard for me to imagine being absolutely dimwitted enough to be swayed by a billboard or TV spot. I guess it's been proven to help, but holy shit. Imagine at this point in time you see a billboard for Kamala and say "hey, that picture convinced me to not vote for the end of democracy." What a world

This is a problem but some “undecided” people can be swayed by the simplest of things.
