How so?
If I have an individual right to free speech (and I

Common law or not, I think the idea of a corporation

nuts. But even if one accepts their "personhood," they

dumbass still swallowing magatard spunk...
Trump 49.8%
Harris 48.3%
 
1.5 % is _not_ a significant margin. In terms of US
Presidential elections it ranks as the 11th closest margin
(out of 47).

Mr Smith cites actual undisputed facts yet makes a very

That said, the Presidential elections of 2016 and again in
2024 featured higher expenditure by the 2d place candidate
which does cast a shadow over widespread irrational fear of
'money in politics'.  We're a nation saturated in media of
all sorts and promoting a message, any message, is
inherently expensive to garner any attention at all.  Plus
repetition of the message.  Money is classically necessary
but not sufficient.

Every state swung toward the right. I see that as significant.
