Two-thirds of the $310 million that Kamala Harris raised last month came from first-time donors, according to the campaign.
@w7voa How are people feeling over there? Is there a genuine optimism? Do regular voters think they may get out of the weird funk the USA has been i for 6+years? Or is it just a pipedream? What do you think?

@popey

Yeah, I think there is some genuine optimism right now that things can be different.

@popey @w7voa I’m feeling cautiously optimistic but nowhere near complacent.

Which, given the circumstances, is probably the right place to be.

We’re not yet resigned to fascism overtaking the country, but it’s basically a coin flip at this point..

@w7voa this reminds me of a fake sales pitch I once gave.... "Our service is unmatched, often exceeded, but never matched"
@w7voa ya...never anything kike you donnie boy.convicted felin and all.i hope kamala kicks your racist ass come november.then you will be a 3 time loser!
@w7voa haha Trump is math impaired

@w7voa

Love how they are just trolling the fuck out of him

@w7voa #AltText4You

Post from Donald Trump: There has never been anything like the MAGA Movement. We raised $139 Million Dollars in July alone.

Above it, a response from kamalahq:
(We raised $310 million in July alone)

@w7voa technically wasn't that just the last third of July
@w7voa and billionaires emptying their couch cushions isn't the same as the small-donor support from motivated progressive voters.

@w7voa

But also how many of #Trump’s MAGA donations were actually just a few tech bros dropping a wad of cash because they think they can pick the next President on the cheap?

Those individual first time donors to #Harris are each individual voters. They may never have voted before and now they’ve been mobilised in astonishing numbers.

@w7voa Is that how they decide and choose their leader - the one who can raise the most funds? Oh, it's America - the 'capitalist capital' of the world.

@w7voa

Democrats are going to need every penny.

The fossil fuel industry alone will be willing to bolster Trump's fascist movement to the tune of over a billion dollars.

Wall Street, the gun lobby, and Silicon Valley are pumping even more into Republican efforts for this "never have to vote again" election.

Who knows how much foreign Russian, OPEC, and Chinese money is involved.

@w7voa Most of the money felon45 gets is directly from Putin, Egypt, Saudi MBS, Mafia, Musk and his billionaire buddies.
@w7voa Can this be verified? Lots of claims are being reported “according to the campaign”. Are these claims true?
@w7voa Also, she was only in the running for the last 10 days of the month.

@w7voa

The winning party in the UK 2019 election spent £5,431,891.04, total, for all candidates. (About 1/5th US population.

I hope Harris wins, for all our sakes, but this harms race on spending is obscene. Maybe she can fix it and use the $14 billion per election for something socially useful.

@w7voa if you donate , you vote... and probably help convince a politically apathetic friend or family member to as well simply with the power of enthusiasm.

@w7voa

Trump: "There has never been anything like the MAGA Movement."

Actually, there has.

It was called the Third Reich.

@johnlogic @w7voa

Although Trump's is the shittier version, hence Turd Reich.
