The difference is campaigns spend over a billion dollars these days and don't even try to convince voters.

They do anything for donations to spend on fundraisers for more donations, and they just go round and round. Every revolution everyone involved skims a little.

If it costs over a billion dollars to beat trump in an election, maybe we should worry less about donations and more about votes.
