      Seriously, it’s because right-wing grifters (especially Trump) have been sucking up all the cash.

      It used to be (in the Republican party) that after the elections Republican candidates would contribute their campaign funds back to the party. Trump put an end to that which has cash starved the local elections.

        Something something, from each according to their ability to each according to their need? Redistribution of resources and all that…

        With the RNC fumbling so hard, other donor money also goes to candidates outside of the national party, the far right wackos. Jeez, nonestablishment democrats get us people like Bernie, and on the other end it fucking gets us MTG.
