The largest expenditure on political advertising by an external group in U.S. politic
Quote:BREAKING - Massive Election Interference: Once again, it's clear the American people do not choose their leaders, but Super PACs and billionaires do.
In a significant development today for the upcoming presidential election, Future Forward, a powerful super PAC, announced that it plans to invest a record-breaking $250 million in TV and digital advertising across battleground states to support President Biden's reelection in 2024.
NOTE: This would mark the largest expenditure on political advertising by an external group in U.S. political history.
NOTE: Future Forward said it aims to counter the influence of questionable funds supporting Trump's campaign and has received approval from the White House.
NOTE: The historic ten-week ad campaign, spanning from the Democratic convention to Election Day, will strategically target "lower information, less-partisan voters" in crucial states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
NOTE: Chauncey McLean, the president of Future Forward, emphasized the high stakes of the election and pledged a cost-effective, data-driven effort to secure Biden's victory.

It should be illegal, but where’s the profit in that…

What a shame that a ruling lead by the right wing of the court is allowing billionaires to influence people to vote for Democrats. Watching the reaping of what you sowed would be funny if it wasn't awful for everyone.

Used to pretend to be. Now they've decided since there's absolutely no laws or limits to how much outside corporate money you can have directed on your behalf might as well just win that battle. Oh well maybe Citizens United wasn't such a good idea, actions have consequences!!!

Democrats control the corporations now, so they no longer complain about Citizens United.
