Harris is running aa traditional campaign and even though money does not play as big of a role as it used to be it's still very very important. i remember watching an interview with Yang and he was saying that one of his campaigns biggest worries pre 2nd debate was how much money they were going to bring in that day. Now Harris campaign is much larger than Yang's so they'd need more money. I don't think Harris is dumb enough to take money from anti climate change activist so I don't think a conflict of interest would arise. |
Money plays an incredible role in politics, it shouldn't, but it does. People are becoming increasingly aware of where a candidates bread is buttered and understand the importance of it. Speaking of Yang, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe he has attended any big donor fundraisers and his campaign is more or less successful. I don't believe Gabbard has either and of course Sanders and Warren haven't as well.
Yeah you don't think she is and I don't think she really is dumb enough either but that's not something you want to leave on a whim of a select few. What if a piece of legislation proposed would be great for helping with the climate crisis but bad in some way or another for the special interests of the big donors? You can reasonably assume that if she chose the donors once she'll do it again, money talks.
