Because our money isn’t their primary funding. They only raise a lot off of us every 4 years. Republicans spend that amount they raise every year or more. Especially if you count the Media consolidation and controlled messaging. There is nothing like it for democrats.

So they rely on many of the same large corporate donors who are just playing the entire field. To their own benefit. It makes for very strange bedfellows. They need their money to advertise and operate. But they need our votes in order to actually hold office. So when things come to a head and start competing the funding wins every time. They can lose comfortably and continue to do what they’re doing. But winning means giving up the easy cash and putting in hard work. It all goes back to Reagan breaking the unions. It’s why there’s such a disconnect these days. Labor used to be the primary funder of the democrats. And now they’re just still talking point.
