Slop.

Yeah, I don't see how this is dunk worthy. Assuming the numbers are accurate, that's $344k flushed down the drain for what exactly? How many homeless people did that $344k feed? Or building and maintaining community gardens? Or money that could've been given to Palestinian orgs? Where's the deliverables? And don't say awareness because if the party cared that much about awareness, they literally could just drop $100k at streamers' lap like Hasan to shill for the party or bought a bunch of ads. This $344k is essentially just a marketing campaign for the party if we're being honest.

This is why electoralism is a dead end in the US. You have to waste an obscene amount of money only to lose because you'll never outspend your opponents. And as for "well, we're participating in the electoral process to show how the electoral process is a sham," the majority of USians already don't vote. They already know it's a sham, and they're just there begging for the right people to explain to them why it's a sham. The most extreme case is Indigenous people. 99%, yes that's right, 99% rightfully saw the presidential election as the sham election that it was and refuse to humiliate themselves by going through the motions to legitimize the illegitimate settler colonial entity. PSL fielding candidates is already pointless to the 99% of Indigenous people who tune out of the election and to the 1% who are an assortment of compradors and mentally colonized individuals who humiliate themselves by licking the boots of the two parties.
