especially Elon Musk. Harris/Walz are killing it with small donor donations from real middle class (or poor) Americans. This should speak for itself. But in case it doesn't, we need to spell it out.
DonOld will owe the billionaire class and will repay them with whatever they demand, and Harris/Walz will "owe" middle class Americans.
Sometimes facts like this need to be screamed from the rooftops because low information voters don't pick up on them automatically. (That's why they're called low-info ).
