I want to point out a lie that I just did the research on. Proctor and Gamble spends about $4.7 billion on marketing, but most of it goes to market 6 products. P&G are VERY successful with this marketing, mainly because they sell what people want and their products do a good job. Maybe some competitors do better or are cheaper, but P&G products do the job pretty well for an acceptable price. People like P&G largely because of their marketing, while knowing that P&G products also work.

OK, $4.7 billion on mostly 6 products, call it $800 million to make sure all Americans know why they should buy Tide laundry detergent.

Now look at the DNC. Their advertising budget is $3 billion. SuperPACs add at least as much.

Clearly, the DNC is LYING when they say they don't have the money to get the message out. It's obviously total BS.

Look up their spending. 80% of the money goes to massively overpaid and even more massively underperforming consultants.

Folks, it's just a luxury retirement fund for ex-operatives. I'm sure the NaziRepublican Party does the same thing.

So, what can we do? I only donate directly to Progressives who neither accept or pass along money to the Party.

If the Democratic Party would like to get 85% every election, JUST ADOPT THE PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM 85% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT.

Of course, that would drain the luxury retirement fund because if they got 85% of votes, NOBODY would send any money.

I think many Americans totally miss a key point. Very few Americans pay any attention to politics, even fewer are active, and in my experience no more than 5% are well informed.

Some of this is laziness or stupidity, but by far, the majority of the uninvolved are working their butts off and raasing families and frankly do not have time to do politics for the politicians.

Let me repeat that - THEY DO NOT HAVE TIME TO DO POLITICS FOR POLITICIANS. They would if they had time, wouldn't like it, but would do it.

When we elected the Democrats to prosecute Nixon in 1976, and they didn't, many Americans gave up on politicians doing what the constitution requires them to do.

When we elected the Democrats to prosecute ReaganBush in 1992, and they didn't, even more Americans gave up on politicians doing what the constitution requires them to do.

When we elected the Democrats to prosecute CheneyBush in 2008, and they didn't, even more Americans gave up on politicians doing what the constitution requires them to do.

We elected Biden and Democrats to prosecute TrumPutin in 2020, which is one of their SWORN DUTIES in the US constitution. It's abundantly clear that AGAIN they intend to ignore the US constitution they swore to uphold.

The constitution only requires two things of citizens, to vote, and to protest.

Why should we bother?
