Are you serious? You seem obsessed with the presidential races and completely ignore what this thread is about. Try running for Congress in your district with no money and no name recognition. You will be ignored in the wealth primary where candidates who are deemed viable will get funded and when the actual primary is over, you will get crushed like all working class folks.
Obama was a senator with huge amounts of cash from Wall Street. Trump was a billionaire celebrity who gave the media huge spikes in ratings and hired a Goldman Sachs fat cat to beg Wall Street for money and is rewarding Goldman Sachs with the two most important positions in his cabinet. How is this in any way proof that you can run in your district for Congress with no money and no name recognition and perform well? You wont. And it will get much worse if the GOP eliminate all restrictions on bribe money in politics and the candidates (ALL THOUSANDS OF CANDIDATES IN ALL ELECTIONS, not just president which you seem obsessed with, just like the media) will be mere paid employees of their billionaire puppet master.
I am serious. But you obviously aren't since you don't provide any proof of that which you state. In fact you won't even tell us who you supported for President.
What in the world are you talking about? There are primaries you know. Try run in a primary with no name recognition and no money. See how well you will do. Run in a race with no incumbent as well. See how you'll do. You will get crushed.
How far are you going to narrow this down and all the same, it doesn't happen in a national election if you are a (D) or (R).

No one said that the reason the Democrats lost was because of lack of money. Forget about the democrats. You dont win elections in a system of bought elections without money and name recognition. And the only way to change that is through huge changes in how campaigns are funded and how the media operates.
Nothing will change. The only way things change is if the people do it.
No you are not. You just know that I am right. You know that you wont even get 0.1% of the vote if you ran in your district with no money and no name recognition. The wealth primary is real. And you aint in the club!
You know deep inside that your opinion have no influence on public policy and that the donor class set the policies you have to abide by. Thats the problem. You refuse to acknowledge reality and believe it will be good for you if the GOP eliminates all restrictions on bribe money in politics. In some twisted way, you like to see yourself suffer.

Elections always start with the primaries. Are you unaware of that? So to run for office, you have to run in the primaries. Do you honestly believe you will get more than 0.1% of the vote with no money and no name recognition even if more than 50% of the people support your positions? I dont think you will. Thats the power of money and name recognition. If you are unopposed in a primary, its because the seat is not competitive and you'll get crushed regardless.

You have provided no proof of what you state. You won't even tell us who you supported for President. Did you vote for a big money candidate?

No, I voted for Bernie Sanders and progressive down ballot candidates, champions of working class folks, not the donor class. You supported Trump and various puppets of the donor class and believe you are on their team in some twisted way as they get ready to serve Goldman Sachs and the big money donor class and stick it to the working class.
You wont even get 0.1% if you run in a primary with no money and name recognition. To claim that this is never the case is absurd. Try doing it. See how you'll do.
I have (or I helped). We had no money and ran a gay Libertarian in WV and still got more than 1%.
