If the $25 million Democrats spent on John Ossof's campaign would have been donated to charity instead, it could have purchased one of the following:

>15 million trees planted in critically-endangered rainforest habitats (The Nature Conservancy)
>12 million children's books for inner-city schoolchildren (Reading is Fundamental)
>750,000 first aid kits, 6 million blankets, and 2.5 million pairs of surgical scissors (Doctors Without Borders)
>2.5 million life-saving mosquito nets in Africa (Nothing But Nets)
>250,000 toilets, 500,000 hard hats, and 750,000 hammers for building refugee shelters and affordable homes (Habitat for Humanity)

How many scoops could they have bought with the same money?

>>130836975
The money was spent on a campaign in a critical voter district in a state that can flip to either red or blue for 2020. His opponent spent a similar sum of money on the campaign. Money spent on the campaign does not vanish into thin air, but is paid to people who can do with it as they please, including donating to these efforts. A candidate's chance of winning is tied with how much money they spend, since people are stupid and form opinions by exposure. Ossof did not know beforehand that he would lose. Therefore, had he won, he would have had the opportunity to donate far more than that to those causes. That is why people spend money running for office rather than donating to charity up-front.

False. She spent less then 1/6 of what he spent

wow, you fucks actually belive this?

they burned this money.

>>130837479
This is satire right. If corrupt Ossof would have won hewould have diverted taxpayer money to his friends while impoverishing the middle class further down shrinkening the gap between poverty and middle class. Then spun it as the poverty class gaining ground on the middle class. OP is correct. Democrats would never voluntarily spend their own money to help, but will be glad to spend other people's money till it runs out. KYS commie.

Handel spent about 24 million, Ossof spent 31 million, this includes both insider and special interest spending.

Everyone argues what the opponent "would have" done had they won, and there are always accusations of diverting money towards their buddies in industry. You don't have any proof for this at all of course.
>Democrats would never voluntarily spend their own money to help, but will be glad to spend other people's money
Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of this, but Republicans give more to charity on average. Still, that's not an argument, since working in government essentially involves spending other's tax money.

democrats cant find a 45 year old white male with a penis to run for president...

>>130837479

Her opponent spent 14% of what Ossof spent, and the Democrats are always crying about more money for the underprivileged.
