Estimates are around $1.6 billion spent in the 2016 cycle
That number rose in 2020 to over $4 billion
Biden has raised more than Trump depending on which numbers you believe still pretty early but no question more will be spent on this Nov election than ever before.
Every penny of that coming from We. The. People. Americans and a plethora of foreign entities to be sure but largely those who our government was intended to serve and support are funding every step along the way.
We are absolutely not getting what we pay for and I see nothing about this year that will change that fact. Whether you are going to swallow the red pill or blue come November or sit this one out and say fuck it... there will be no 'winner'
