Okay. I mean you shouldn’t. Volunteer and donate like the existence of America depends on the Democrats winning, because it does. Don’t get complacent.

But be aware that dark money will find plenty of Republican nabobs of negativity between now and November in the hopes they can suppress Democratic turnout.[/quote]

And again - you've conveniently left out all the [u]dark money that has flowed to Democrats in recent years.[/u]  I can't imagine why you'd neglect to mention that!

[b]Democrats benefited more from dark money than Republicans in 2022[/b]

The 2022 federal midterms mark the third consecutive election cycle where Democrats benefited from more dark money than Republicans, OpenSecrets’ analysis of FEC data found.

Liberal political committees reported over $316.4 million in political contributions from dark money groups and shell companies during the 2022 cycle while conservative political committees reported $263 million.

The trend of Democrats benefiting from more reported dark money in federal elections began during the 2018 midterm cycle when liberal groups first outspent their conservative counterparts. That’s despite Democratic rhetoric decrying dark money and a series of failed efforts by some members of the party to crackdown on political contributions from undisclosed sources.

The sources of this "dark money" flowing freely into our political system receive a return on their investment/donation via having their interests looked out for first and foremost by the supported politicians. These large donations are worthwhile investments or else they wouldn't continue to climb in amount at the pace they have. This back scratching political scheme is nothing new in politics but the amounts of cash donated by small number of single entities has skyrocketed in recent years. The fact that political favors are expected in return for these ridiculously large donations is indisputable. Our best and brightest people have little reason to choose to enter the political arena when they can earn significantly more in the private sector without there being shady strings attached to their earnings. This is how we wind up with two very unpopular and elderly people being our likely major party nominees. The people that should be running for president aren't politicians.[/quote]
