Major political donors lean Republican, and cash could prove critical for the GOP to maintain control of Congress in November. Republican-leaning donors gave $1.07 billion, compared with $450 million from Democratic-leaning givers and $250 million from bipartisan and special-interest groups.Most of the money, regardless of affiliation, was given to super PACs that can legally accept unlimited sums.
That means the consultants selling shit about the election are in a league with Apple and Walmart as to the load on the economy. They are leeches. They are the reason politicians are intimidated into status quo posturing, and not reform of a very sick system.
The question posed in the headline has a simple answer. Neither fucking one. The game is rigged, the people get fucked. The progressives get hung out to dry by the evil investment in politicians where the more you buy the better your corporate and personal wealth interests prosper. It is totally fucked.
