Does nobody else see the problem with "donors flocking"?
Yet again, oligarchs and the absurdly wealthy are buying influence, and it gets ignored
I agree with you in part. But I'm sure common folks are also a good portion of the donors.
Actually, let's find out...
Ok. This is from 2020, so I'm not sure how good it reflects 2024:

It says that women were the majority donating, and the biggest group donated between $1,000 and $3,000 - still a lot of money for many common folk, but that's far from the "oligarchs" that you guys are talking about.
