    Is it too cynical to say that her billion dollar campaign was a money laundering operation?

      A lot of this information is public because they had to file their campaign spend with the FEC. They spent a fuck ton buying ad spots on social media, TV, billboards, print, etc.

        They gave a lot of money to their consultants and advertisers, all perfectly legal.

        Cui bono?

          By god that seems like the dumbest possible choice given that the Democrats are routinely criticized for being elite and out of touch.

          How about a giant, ever gazing, magical, orb displaying our leader’s head with a command for the public? Surely that will make us seem down to earth and in touch with the common person.

          To be fair, to buy a lot of ads, you typically have to give a lot of money to advertisers.
