Democrats Outperforming Republicans in Small Donations
The GOP is buying the House. Literally.
If Republicans succeed in keeping the House in November, it will have been bought for them by corporations and the rich — quite literally.
Records show House Republican incumbents in seats targeted by Democrats are getting almost all their campaign funds from large contributors (often those who donate $2,700 or $5,400) and political action committees. Only a tiny fraction comes from those who give $200 or less.
------------------------------
So Republicans are raking in the money. Democrats are getting their funding from millions of Americans giving $10 and $20.
I read that one large corporation was giving hundreds of thousands of dollars from management, but more than 90% of the workers were giving to Democrats in small donations.
It sounds dire. How can Democrats fight all that money?
It's all a matter of perspective. Every donor who gives the Democrats $10 will vote Democrat. Every CEO who gives a hundred thousand dollars to Republicans is still only one vote.
We can only save this country if we get out and vote. We have to save the country from greedy billionaires, racists and sexual predators.
33 days and counting.
