      Submission statement: the post is a graph showing campaign fundraising by the democratic and republican canditate in every election since 2000. it shows that in every election since 2004, the democratic candidate raised significantly more money than the republican one. in my opinion, that is evidence that there are powerfull organizations that want democrats in power

    2. Its simple.

      People who live in large cities tend to be left leaning.

      People who live in rural areas tend to be right leaning.

      Jobs in large cities pay much much more then rural areas, even when you factor in higher cost of living. People in rural areas tend to have hidden costs of living outside of the normal food, rent/mortgage etc . Needing to drive much further for simple things (fuel cost), tend to heat their homes with LP ( which costs a hell of a lot more when it has to be delivered to your home instead of piped right to the house), owning your own well ( shit is not cheap to fix), have a limited amount of stores to get food at ( rural gas station have insanely high prices on food and drinks), having to drive everywhere, having to buy a lot of things online because there is not a local store that sells what you need. etc.

      My point is people in cities plainly have more disposable income then their rural counterparts.

    3. Are these numbers adjusted for inflation?

      Btw, there are lots of orgs that want the GOP in power too. Stop pretending it’s one-sided.
