Nearly $900M for Harris and Trump, But Not Medicare for All
According to the NYT , nearly $900 million flowed into 'dark money' groups supporting Harris and Trump in 2024. This isn't just about shadowy billionaires; it's about a 'democracy' where policy outcomes are dictated by unchecked corporate and foreign lobbying. For instance, the infamous AIPAC spent over $30 million in 2022 alone, according to OpenSecrets.org, strategically endorsing and
bankrolling candidates who then rubber-stamp unconditional military aid to Israel, often at the expense of domestic needs. While billionaires pour hundreds of millions into keeping the two-party system churning out identical pro-war, pro-corporate policies, one might ask: where's the 'dark money' for universal healthcare, affordable housing, or actually addressing the climate crisis? Apparently,
those issues aren't profitable enough to warrant an anonymous check for eight figures. It's almost as if the 'free market of ideas' has been cornered by a cartel.
