Why does it feel that the evil sides globally are winning. Even evil people are winning. Why?

      Because money can buy newspapers, tv stations, social networks, think tanks, marketing companies, and legislation.

        So money can hire people who know how to argue and advertise better? That sounds like a skill issue.

        And money only “buys” legislation because it is used for advertising. During its height, the NRA didn’t have to contribute the kind of money that other lobbying organizations did. Why? The NRA had a large membership of people that voted.

          Literally yes. As well as buying airtime and mass publication, politicians, legislation, and policy

          That sounds like a skill issue.

          Oh never mind, you’re a child. Well could luck winning at your video game. 👍

            I have a vested interest in progressives succeeding, but they keep making major missteps them cry and say the other side has more money.

            The current strategy isn’t working and there needs to be a deep look as to why it isn’t working.
