The Biden-Harris campaign says it's Los Angeles fundraiser tonight featuring Presidents #Biden and Obama, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Jimmy Kimmel has already raised $28 million — the most for any fundraiser in Democratic Party history.
@GottaLaff Surely one of the most disheartening aspects of watching American political contests is the prominent coverage always given to how much money has been raised by each side.
The unchallenged acceptance that voters are persuaded simply by whoever spends the most money campaigning, the side that yells the loudest on TV, shows how hollow the democratic ideal, the 'battle of ideas', has become. An election or an auction?
@GottaLaff No reason - I'm still seeing people boosting this news of the fundraiser. I worry about "bystander effect" - they raised money, we don't have to do anything.
