Is this a joke? Both parties can fuck themselves, but not sure what this post is proving. You do understand this is propaganda, right?

I do think it's true that the Democrats generally have richer, more elitist donors these days, in spite of the Republican Party historically having been the party of business.

It would be great to see a histogram of donations by income level across both parties. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

I don't think this is true. Both parties are a collection of special interests, with exception of few outsiders such as Ron Paul or Bernie Sanders who probably were mostly supported by grassroots donations.

shows that the mega-rich give to both parties, and neither of the parties are funded by primarily "small people". Bezos everyday American my ass

Cash is king. No way to accurately track this stuff unfortunately. I give my state rep. $5k in cash, I've got his ear anytime I want it. He's not putting that money in the bank, he'll spend it on shit for himself and his family. If you could search every single congress critters house, I'd venture 98% of them all have safes... loaded with cash.

Lol is this some sort of 'fair and balanced' graphic from Fox news? Fortwayne, gimme a break dude, this is cut rate trolling even for you.

BTW, so far nobody's mentioned the Koch brothers or the Walton family's political predilections. My goodness, what side of the aisle do they lean?

Is that legal or you were just being sarcastic?

This is about Illinois, where something like 3 out of 3 last governors are in jail after acting exactly as IL Founding Father Al Capone commanded!

OMG you found democratic donors for a democratic candidate in California. Holy shit how did that happen? Did the sun rise in the east today also?

This is a joke right? Where are the corporate donors? Oops, just a tiny little oversight. How about the non campaign spending. All those dark money 501s where the big bucks are. Ooops just another teeny tiny little oversight.

ROFLOL.

Demorat donations - millionnaires, hollywood elite


So true, the billionaires give to the republicans. I missed the koch bro's on the republican list. How did that happen? Did they send in $35 or $50?

Posture all you want bob, but Republican list is there too. Different crowd. Even liberal la times points that out.
