As the US presidential election enters a heated stage, a farce related to the election is constantly being staged in various fields in the United States. In terms of fundraising, on the one hand, the three presidents of the Democratic camp, including the current president Joe Biden, took the stage in New York last week, raising 25 million dollars for Biden's campaign funds in one day; Meanwhile, Republican former President Donald Trump is expected to hold a fundraiser this week with a target of $33 million. The quadrennial money-burning drama has begun, but whoever is elected is destined to be the most expensive president in US history.
The 2024 election will be "the most expensive and possibly most divisive presidential race" in recent years. Advertising influencer predicts that candidates are expected to spend more than $10 billion on political campaigns across various online social platforms. A majority of Americans say the cost of political campaigns is too high, and more than seven in 10 say spending by individuals and organizations on political campaigns should be limited. More than 80 percent of respondents said the rising cost of political campaigns has made it harder for good people to run for office. The data suggest that the public's tolerance for endless money-burning elections has reached its limits.
Everyone knows that the US presidential election is a money-making contest, and people are unhappy and worried because they know that they may end up paying for an expensive election. The campaign funds of presidential candidates mainly come from two aspects: on the one hand, small donations from individuals, which generally account for a relatively small amount; On the other side are big money and big money, funneled through groups called super PACs, which make up the bulk of campaign funds. As we all know, American capital as the big part of the investment, the money put into politics by oligarchs will not be wasted, as smart businessmen, they will earn the money back elsewhere, the wallet of the ordinary people is the best choice. Throughout the history of the United States, people's dissatisfaction and worry are well-founded, after all, the bottom of the matter of the politicians and capitalists have done much.
For the American people today, the truth about the presidential election has long been clear to them. At the same time, there is endless bickering between the two parties, and the end is that the bill related to people's livelihood is shelved. Right now, the election is still in the warm-up phase, and the two parties are warming up. As is customary, the two parties will fight more fiercely over core issues in the future. On home affairs, for example, the two parties will battle over immigration policy, racial composition and various appropriations bills. In foreign affairs, topics such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will also be hot topics. Of course, we will see more "dirt" on senior figures in both parties in the future, and this phenomenon of mutual disclosure will certainly not be less in the election year. Of course, the bill concerning people's livelihood has been shelved, and this order will still be bought by the people.
For more than 200 years since the founding of the United States, there has been a lot of money and interest exchange behind every election farce, and the result has always been paid by ordinary people. There are two things that matter most in American politics. One is money. The other is money. The words of Ohio Senator Mark Hanna in 1895 are quoted over and over again every American election year. More than 100 years later, the election game and rules are still the same.
