Vice President Kamala Harris’s main allied group, Future Forward, raised over $900 million to support her White House bid, a staggering sum that is far more than any outside political organization has ever brought in during an election cycle.

This kind of money being spent on elections is the worst part of our democracy

When I look at the money and I look at the volunteers, the crowds, the momentum- I just keep coming up with the same conclusion… No way!

I really want to see a transparent audit that shows how this money was used and what evidence we have on what money works best where. Just feels like the Dems burned through money that wasn’t put to good use.

In my mind, something doesn't add up. Trump's appointee DeJoy, who got rid of mail readers so it had to be done by hand vs machine, is still Postmaster General. All one would have to do is destroy a small number of identifiable mail-in ballot envelopes in many town post offices nationwide.

Sadly, there was nothing she could have done, other than turning into a racist white male to win. She had a very fast lead up to the election, was up against the world's greatest wealth backing Trump, not to mention Russian interference. Even at that, she had a respectable showing. It's so sad.

The elite raised and spent a billion dollars. They got to keep 15% of it as the price for spending it. I can see why grifters like Mr Pillow and Musk are drawn to politics.

Lots of evidence pointing to fact that more money doesn't necessarily win campaigns. Won the battle of who can raise more money. Lost the war.

Why did it not materialze into votes ? Given the importance of the election, where were there almost 7 million fewer votes ? Why did Harris get 3 million fewer votes than Biden in 2020?

The biggest problem was the perception of inflation, and then the usual toxic male BS that "no woman can be president". Did Kamala want to win for herself? Or did she want to win for her side and her principles?

They need to raise much more to build a major media outlet. Republicans don't run their campaigns a few months before the election. They have their major media/propaganda outlets working 24/7/365. Border caravan crises, DEI, CRT, trans sports, etc. Their fires of outrage and hate never stop burning.

Her ad were an embarrassment. You can't counter ads accusing you of causing all immigrant crime, about to cause WW3, and causing inflation with ads telling folks to worry about tariffs on imports. You can't skip ads aimed at male voters. Fear sells. People were more afraid of WW3 than tariffs.

I liked the way Kamila ran, but isn't the vast sum of $ more of a reflection of dislike (mild for what I'm feeling) of DJT than affirmation of Kamila?

$900M for Kamala's doomed White House dreams, courtesy of Future Forward. Meanwhile, Trump spent less and still steamrolled his way back to power. Maybe next time try buying actual voters instead of headlines.
