not so fast.. Thats the total given to the candidates directly, it doesnt count the numbers going through political organizations which arent required to disclose their donators.
You can thank five conservative Supreme Court justices. They made elections go to the highest bidder. Once again, Republicans are successful in usurping democracy.

Remember when the left wet their pants because Warren Buffet, Oprah, and other billionaires, endorsed Obama?
This fact should unite all decent Americans, whether to the right or the left. It is a disgrace and needs to end. America is losing its democracy right before our eyes. Supporting a candidate that wants to preserve this is showing the middle finger to the American people.

Nah, don't worry about it.
It's ok that Republicans have removed any and all restrictions on buying elections, while simultaneously doing everything in their power to keep certain demographics from voting.
That's just fine and dandy since Democrats also do and/or have done nasty things

When you get a 120% voter turnout in a minority voting district you know they weren't kept home.

That doesn't change the fact that Republicans have deliberately (and successfully) gutted much of the Voting Rights Act.
Doesn't change the fact that Republicans are passing voter ID requirements ostensibly to address the virtually nonexistent 'problem' of election fraud, and are simultaneously shutting down DMV offices in minority areas.
Doesn't change the fact that Republicans are deliberately shutting down polling locations (particularly in minority areas), reducing voting hours, and doing everything the possibly can to make it harder to vote.
Republicans are failing at democracy. So they're doing their level best to control who votes.
But I know... I know... it's ok because Democrats also do/have done nasty things
