have to raise so much money to have a chance in the presidential race. I know you have to have some money to do anything, but millions and millions of dollars? Seriously?

just think about if they could take half that money and do something worthwhile with it. This is more money than most Americans will see in their lifetime. Think about how much is wasted on campaign ads and froo froo shit that is pretty much unnecessary

Isn't getting more money than most people will see in their lifetimes and using it for something relatively frivolous what capitalism is all about?

How much $ does it take to change someone's vote? Multiply that by the population of the nation.

error in your equation. It's only 10% of the voters that actually count since only a small number actually do vote.
