Forget party alliances for a moment, does it make anyone else sick to see politicians and PACs getting MILLIONS in donations when so many of us as individuals are struggling financially, when businesses are struggling???

I mean if you really look at the ads they run for these donations, it's all cookie cutter...donate to keep republicans from blah blah, donate to keep democrats from blah blah. These folks do NOT need our money.

This is exactly why it makes me sick and so damn angry.

You know how I've made it through this pandemic, mutual aid efforts, food boxes from local nonprofits, and selling my tees and any extra that I have beyond my need of rent, bills and meds each month, I pay forward to other Natives that I know are struggling.

It seems money would better serve those who actually are helping the people rather thanthese politicans and PACs who are only helping themselves, their parties and self-interests. The 90+ million that ActBlue reported being donated after RBG's death could have helped so many.

And I am so over Democrats and Republicans playing all of us against each other when neither one has any of our best interests or well-being at heart.
