This is what happens when the party only cares about donations, the people running the party have no idea how to get votes, just good at getting money from corporations and billionaires

Great observation. The lack of Campaign finance reform is leading America to fascism.

It's not just lack of reform, both parties are actively making it worse

The Biden Victory Fund is able to take up to a million annually from each person, and even tho it's a PAC, it openly coordinates with the DNC and Biden.
