Vice President Kamala Harris is already taking control of Joe Biden's massive campaign war chest after his departure from the 2024 race.
  • Kamala Harris is already seeing a wave of big money donor support since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
  • Some of the party’s top financiers opted to hold back funds after Biden’s June debate performance drew concerns from Democrats about his mental acuity.
  • The progressive donation platform ActBlue said it raised $27.5 million from small-dollar donors in the five hours after Biden endorsed Harris.

    If you choose not to campaign and your opponent does, what do you think will happen? If your opponent convinces everybody that you’re going to raise taxes and increase the deficit, that you’re corrupt and racist, and people don’t even know your name from anything else then how many votes do you think you’ll get?

      Aren’t most people watching TV anyways? Or internet? In Germany, we also have this independent website called Wal-o-mat where you can answer a long set of political questions to determine your political views. Then it’ll make a tierlist of multiple parties to vote for that’ll best fit your political views. Almost everyone ignores posters and ads and there is barely any ads anywhere; some on city exists and that’s pretty much it. Just don’t understand why ads for defaming the political opponent can be so effective. Is everyone really that dumb to believe in them?
