So the socialists don't influence elections? they don't have speeches and advertising? News to me -- are you sure the majority want socialism? seems like many many people don't. Or is the election only "influenced" if it doesn't go your way?
- bildung 2mo agoI have no horse in that race as I don't live in the US. But reading today that in Michigan the democratic primary loser outspent the winner almost 10:1 truly baffled my mind. Stuff like this isn't even legal in most other democracies, i.e. in France all presidential candidates have to have equal TV time to present their respective positions. Imagine how the political landscape in the US would look like if people's votes were actually equal.
- bigfishrunning 2mo agoSo the primary should have gone to the person who spent more? maybe infinite spending can't force through an unpopular platform?
- ceejayoz 2mo agoI think you've misinterpreted the parent. Someone almost bought that election. That it didn't quite work doesn't make it a good scenario.
