    If I read this article correctly, then all of euope donates about €150 million per year to policical parties.

    Kamala received $ 300 million only in july.

    There is literally an order of magnitude between the donations in the EU and the US.

      I don’t disagree.

      From the investigators site:

      Most political parties rely heavily on state subsidies, but not in Germany where they get hundreds of millions of euros from private individuals and companies.
