Politicians still ran effective campaigns before super pacs, gimme a break
Politicians ran effective campaigns before TV and the internet too but this isn't 1904. Times have changed and if you want to reach an increasingly detached from reality and easily distracted voting population then you better spend big dollars. That's the reality of 2020

So lame. Dumb Eric Trump's comment and your misunderstanding about life.
Another Epstein document dump:
Bill Clinton was on Pedo Island with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and "2 young girls."

There is a pretty simple solution - make illegal all corporate donations and individual amounts above a certain threshold to candidates and serving politicians. If their main financial master is the voter then they will serve them instead of the ultra rich a$$holes, and the corporate and foreign interest groups. Super PACs and insane amounts of raised funds have not proven to help the public in any way whatsoever. Super pacs were one of the most damaging SC decisions ever. Eligible voters are likely to become a lot more motivated if they know their donation and vote will actually give them a return. The problem with the current system is that we are not masters of the politicians.
Not sure if the answer is so simple. This only seems to address campaign contributions.
However, a great many politicians get mighty rich while in office. It seems that this phenomenon might have an impact on the actions of those in office as well.
I agree the rules for serving politicians are way too loose - actually not many restrictions at all nor enforcement.

Hey Rigged! Did you know that the documents will NOT be released until MONDAY?
Do you know what means? It means every Maxwell link you droll over is FAKE.
Don't forget the Trump WAS on the Lolita Express and in 1997.

Don't folks on unemployment typically receive substantially less than what they made at their job? If so, the extra $200 (or $600) does not necessarily result in them making more to not work than to work.
At any rate, if we are serious about getting control of the pandemic then it seems that the notion that people should be incentivized to go to work (temporarily) no longer applies. We should want people to stay home as much as possible and have no incentive to go to work.
In many area's its fine for people to go back to work if it's done smartly. So we don't want to incentivise everyone not to work.
At the extra 600 dollar level about 60% of the people made more than their salary. 600 dollars is too much. It creates a bunch of problems for business owners deciding when to open.
State s like New York are in huge financial debt and will cut back many needed services. Some of that money should go to the states.
I completely agree with the bolded text. Providing the right incentives for the right people to work/not work is not trivial.
At any rate, my point was that a blanket statement of "we should never incentivize people to not work" does not stand up to scrutiny.

Grow up, little man. "Don't folks on unemployment typically receive substantially less than what they made at their job? … We should want people to stay home as much as possible and have no incentive to go to work."
You got an answer and cried "I did not type that."
Learn to write. Thanks.
My dearest child, I am truly embarrassed for you.
Like I said, I made no such assumption. Please do try to read the post to which you are responding prior to formulating your response. Now off to bed, dear child, before I have to give you a spanking.

Provide a list of all the jobs previously employed people can go back to?
State how people who are umemployed with children will go back to work with schools and daycare centers closed? Go to work and leave you kids to fend for themselves? Or stay home and go broke and face getting evicted? Those are the solutions Republicans are offering. Get a job! What job? Force your kids to go to schools? What school?
Responding to yourself? Truly bizarre.
Sorry, I thought you only suffered from stupidity. I did not realize you were also mentally ill.
Please accept my condolences.

Am I wrong or did Bernie do just fine raising funds from individual donations? Safe to say he reached a lot of people.

Here's Trump voting by absentee/mail-in ballot in 2004, apparently he wasn't so worried about mail-in voting being fraudulent back then.
But the funnier thing is that he went to several different polling stations to vote personally, but he wasn't on the voting rolls at any of them.
How do you not know where you're supposed to vote? I get a notice before every election telling me where I'm supposed to vote, I'm not sure why someone, especially a stable genius like Trump, wouldn't know that ahead of time.

Ok well then.
Almost the same number of people died from Covid this week as died of combat in the 6 years of the American Revolution.
Utter fail.
The 'everything going to merde' trend continues. I don't really want to talk about it.
New highs all over the place and deaths are again accelerating in the 4 problem states.

Primaries are an absolute sh!t show these days where arguably money isn't quite as important as something else. Idk what, pandering to people, saying dumb stuff? Who knows, but considering that he didn't get the nomination twice in a row, I'd say he clearly didn't reach enough people.

The message got out just fine. Bernie just didn't convince enough people.
But if the primaries were being held right now, the front runners would be Sanders and Yang.
News you probably missed from the New York Times:
In the latest disaster to hit Bangladesh, torrential rains have flooded at least a quarter of the country, inundating nearly a million homes. Two months ago, a cyclone slammed Bangladesh’s southwest, while a rising sea has submerged villages along the coast.
Scientists project that severe flooding will intensify as climate change increases rainfall in Bangladesh. It’s a story that reflects the unequal burden of climate change’s effects: The average American is responsible for 33 times more planet-warming carbon dioxide than the average Bangladeshi. “Those who are least responsible for polluting Earth’s atmosphere are among those most hurt by its consequences,” Somini Sengupta and Julfikar Ali Manik write.
