PR Issue?
Democrats are relying on Big Money again rather than grassroots fundraising. Can it be turned into a PR issue to damage the party and Biden's candidacy? Chances are it won't be since President Trump isn't turning down heavy checks either. However, the internet has proven a candidate can make headway without hundred thousand dollar contributions from the wealthy and powerful. This has already become a campaign and PR issue. The argument is that Big Spenders want something for their money and will get it because they have bought an ear to air their concerns. It is past time in American politics to let Big Spenders recede in importance. They have had undue influence almost since the beginning of the country. The problem was the inefficiency of collecting funds from thousands of small donors. It cost more than the donations were worth. That's no longer true. Small donors were the backbone of some primary candidates this year. It's past time for them to be the mainstay of general elections.
