As a Canadian, I find it appalling how much money us spent on politics in the states. I honestly find it kind if gross. People send money to millionaires when the amount of money spent could probably end homelessness in the entire country in one cycle.
Thank Citizens United...
It is disgusting. Such a waste and possibly our eventual downfall.
It’s a huge reason someone wins. Biden essentially had to withdraw because the mega donors said the money was stopping. So now a handful of billionaires selected Kamala over having an open convention?
Which billionaires are you referring to?
most of the politically active billionaires are supporting trump.
In 2022. George Soros contributed 128 million on the midterm elections. Someone who doesn’t even live here. How is that acceptable.

Yes, and time. We literally spend years gearing up for the next presidential election. What the hell is with that? It's ridiculous.

To be fair a lot of that is media driven. You have to fill airtime and many politicians enjoy the coverage. In reality, it’s basically only a year of a real big focus on it.

Vice President Kamala Harris declined to preside over a Wednesday joint address to Congress by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because she will be in Indiana for an event that was previously scheduled, per an aide.
Harris, who on Monday became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president following President Biden's campaign suspension, will not be in attendance at the address and will not preside.
With Harris's absence, the task ordinarily would fall to Senate President pro tempore Patty Murray, D-Wash., but Murray reportedly refused to do so – and will instead be boycotting the address.
Efforts made to reach Murray's office for comment were unsuccessful.
When Harris's office was asked if she would have agreed to preside over Netanyahu's address if she were going to be in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, an aide to the vice president said they would not answer hypothetical questions.
Netanyahu will be speaking to members of Congress during a joint address on Wednesday after being invited by the bipartisan leaders of both chambers back in May.
In the absence of both Harris and Murray, the session will instead be presided over by Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., who is retiring after this Congress.
During the time of Netanyahu's address, Harris will be attending the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Grand Boule in Indianapolis, Ind., which is a biennial international conference, per a White House official.
While she won't be there, an aide emphasized that Harris' absence and refusal to preside shouldn't be considered a change to her stance on Israel.
An aide to the vice president told Fox News Digital that she would be meeting with Netanyahu at the White House this week while he is in Washington, D.C. They noted that the meeting is separate from Biden’s planned meeting with the prime minister.
Harris is expected to reiterate her commitment to Israel's ability to defend itself from Iran and militias that are backed by the country, such as terrorist groups Hizbullah and Hamas. According to the aide, Harris will once again condemn the Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israeli civilians by Hamas, as well as the sexual violence that took place.
The vice president will also express her already stated concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where most of the war is taking place. Harris is expected to further convey that the war should end soon and in a way that allows for a secure Israel, the release of all hostages and the restoration of the rights of civilians in Gaza. She will specifically discuss with Netanyahu efforts to reach a deal for a ceasefire.

Not a strong choice. Trumps lead is growing rapidly. They could have went mark kelly and saved the election but went for the DEI candidate with a documentable record of failing at everything she has ever touched. A true indicator of how far democrats have fallen.

You say Mark Kelly would've been a better choice, but Kamala Harris is the DEI Choice.
Mark Kelly is awesome and would make a great running mate, but he's a guy with literally 4 years of government experience.
Kamala Harris also served as a Senator for 4 years, acquitting herself very well, including great questioning of the pathetically unqualified Trump Cabinet nominees. She was also San Francisco DA, with an excellent prosecution record as detailed by others. Also California Attorney General. And oh yeah, Vice President for 4 years. And you dare call her a DEI Candidate. Do you not understand how racist this is? Or do you not care?

He will come back and say something dumb like Biden said he would only pick a female African American....ignoring the fact that literally every presidential candidate in our country's history, except for Walter Mondale, has only looked for middle aged white guys to do the job.
