Just to put it in perspective: him spending that much on the midterms is very roughly equivalent, in terms of expenditure::wealth+assets ratio, of me buying a two-day pass to Palisades Tahoe.

That is absolutely fucking insane, and very obviously indicates a fundamentally broken system.

Financial obesity is neurotoxic, an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

Not watching polls, but watching the geographic distribution of incoming votes, and its a wipeout.

I don't disagree, but Dems are disproportionately likely to vote early so votes at this stage are not indicative. At least unless you have voodoo-level knowledge of how the votes distribute over time.

I mean its not voodoo, its just disambiguating preference from attendance.
