There are exceptions, I believe Trump outspent Biden in 2020.
However, I think the "campaign spending" they use ignores PACs and their advertising... which is a definite factor.
I ve been reflecting on that alot.
I think its because our brain evolved to keep us alive. The lion is out in the dark stalking us, etc.
The vague adversary stalking us. The yellow peril, the red scare, the satanic panic, the hacker known as 4 chan.
The other issue is confirmation basis. Take every criticism of someone at face value even when they contradict eachother.
X is retarded but also a super genius playing the long game, they have a plan etc.
Right now the DNC is turbo fucked.
@Gehenna has gone over it again and again but they called in every favor to swing the election on boarded groups that have totally opposite goals and worse of all their nominee was old and weak and unfit for office (but yaay puppet).
I still dont get way they havent tried crafting small focused bills to pay for some of their debits if they cant pay at once do installments at least signal to your creditors you wish and will pay. the all or nothing appoarch is just fucking them
