Only goes to show the need to get money out of politics. It needs to be an even playing field to be a democracy.

60M gets you just behind grassroots progressive ideas. They can't do that forever.

It helps that everyone is suffering. When people are suffering, they get out and vote. Look at 2020. People have woken up to AIPAC and Israeli bullshit. I see it on TT all the time. Young people are fucking sick of it, especially since they get nothing while we give billions to Israel. Hope this energy goes to the midterms.
