Just saw that the State of Maine is on track to 115 mio spend on TV ads for the senate race. You guys do see how insane the amounts of money spent on elections are, right ? Right ?
(all parties in germany with 60 times the population spend less than that for everything to do with the entire national election cycle
And that's for half a dozen parties with a national scope. And a lot more people vote ! And i know the picture is similar all over the globe)
Like, what exactly is that accomplishing for democracy ? I mean, what's the 53rd ad going to accomplish or the 136th time you see the same one ?
