We'd be lucky to have either one of them in the White House.

So when a secretary or janitor who works for Novartis makes a donation to Biden or Booker... why does the BS campaign try to characterize it as a "big pharma supports Biden or Booker". Same thing with an Exxon delivery driver... if she makes a donation to Biden, then the BS campaign wants us toe believe that Biden is "accepting money from big oil".

Also... did anyone notice the outright lie for the BS campaign to cleverly suggest that corporations are contributing to the other candidates. Corporations are prohibited by law from doing so.

...from Amazon (tens of thousands), Walmart (hundreds of thousands) and many other big corporations for which many of his contributors work. But that's not all, he has the highest amount of unitemized contributions of anyone, so we don't even know where people who have contributed more than 70% of his revenue work.

But, to be honest, I really don't obsess over where candidates get their money, as long as it's legal. All I care about is for MY party to win the election next year. The candidates I'm supporting care more about the issues that are important to our country, not where their opponents are getting their funds.
