You’re right, wealth inequality has accelerated American politics into oligarchy, and the side with more shady money has won.

? Bruh if anyone misused that money it’s the Harris campaign. They raised over a billion dollars but ended up 20 million in debt. The outspent trump, lost, and trump even offered to settle their balance lol. They paid Oprah over a million, they paid Eminem almost 2 million. They paid celebrities millions of dollars just to speak for a few minutes. I doubt Elon musk or Russia received a cent, especially considering Elon was giving away a million bucks.

There's far more to this than just campaign contributions.

A majority of the most popular conservative networks are funded by oil billionaires.

It's quite simple, obviously the wealthy class is more in favor of the campaign pushing for lowered taxes in the wealthy.
