    Harris rejected PAC money in 2018.
    She then accepted PAC money in 2020.
    In 2024 she accepted money from PACs, same as Trump.

    My mistake, apparently you can't bring a knife to a gun fight.

    They were bragging about how much money she raised in a couple days no way that came from small donations. It was not about money it was strategy and horrible choices.

    Money out of politics....sounds great, and I support that idea.

    But it looks like Harris tried that in 2018, as did Obama in 2008.
    In 2018 185 other Democratic candidates and two Republicans agreed not to take money from PACS.
    In 2020 119 Democrats pledged not to take PAC money.....63 of them lost.
    The public says they care......but they don't.

    Another example of people mouthing off, yet when it comes to voting they really don't care.

    Lobbyists are one of the most corrupt aspects of our government revolving door of people paying politicians off l. if that does not change in a real way laws of transparency and heavy regulation or gotten rid of completely your not getting money out of politics your just putting on a show. It’s not the voters that would stand in the way of these changes it’s the politicians if that does not show you the real problem I don’t know what will

    It all sounds good...but as I said the voting public doesn't care and doesn't care to try to understand what you're saying.

    The only way to bring those changes to fruition is to elect those who will do so.
    Since the public voted for the biggest political grifter in American history, a convicted felon, liar, sexual predator, etc...it ain't going to happen in my lifetime.

    Nice thought though.

    "fear of retaliation."FEAR OF RETALIATION!! Free speech is on the way out now. Very few are willing to criticize the criminal in charge of the government , including the many law firms he is attacking for filing lawsuits against him. Any semblance of the democracy we have known for decades is almost over. Birds of a feather, as they say, as he pardons fellow criminals like Blagojevich , those who tried to stop the results of the election Jan.6th and others. The criminals, liars and cheats are now in charge.:rage::rage::rage::mad::mad: Number 1? Sheeeeeeit!

    Absolutely. The UK now has an import ban on US soft drinks. The carbohydrate content is about 10 times greater than the UK maximum figure. This is because the US use corn syrup, which requires 13 times the quantity compared with glucose to make the drink taste sweet.
    Europe consider corn syrup as the major cause of type 2 diabetes, but we cannot even mention it without lawyers from the US jumping up and down.
    One American doctor mentioned that if he went public, he would either be struck off, or found floating face down in the river. WHY. ???

    I believe Harris spent more.
    Harris $1.9bn, Trump $1.6bn.
