"Promising to donate some money to his Super PAC should suffice, right?" Cheng Daqi asked.
Super PACs are a core link for large capital to support certain politicians. The funds here are not strictly regulated, and there is no upper limit to individual donations.
American politicians are dogs raised by capital, a trend that has become increasingly clear since the seventies.
The core reason is that as large capital groups and the media industry thrived, individual candidates lost even the basic qualifications to participate in the game.
Relying solely on donations of a few hundred US dollars from ordinary supporters, individual candidates cannot afford to spend much on advertising to promote themselves. In the competition against capitalists' puppets funded with hefty donations, they naturally struggle to win.
